# INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS

## RosarioSIS Student Information System

RosarioSIS is a web based application which relies on other facilities such as a web server, PHP server-side scripting, and a PostgreSQL or MySQL/MariaDB database server.

For RosarioSIS to work you must first have your web server working, PostgreSQL (or MySQL/MariaDB) working, PHP working (including the `pgsql`, `mysqli`, `gettext`, `intl`, `mbstring`, `gd`, `curl`, `xml` & `zip` extensions). Setting these up varies a lot with operating system so it is well beyond the scope of this brief install document.

RosarioSIS was tested on:

- Windows 10 x86 with Apache 2.4.16, Postgres 9.3.6, and PHP 7.1.18
- macOS Monterey with Apache 2.4.54, Postgres 14.4, and PHP 8.0.21
- Ubuntu 22.04 with Apache 2.4.52, MariaDB 10.6.12, and PHP 5.6.40
- Ubuntu 22.04 with Apache 2.4.57, Postgres 14.9, and PHP 8.1.2
- Debian Bullseye with Apache 2.4.54, Postgres 13.7, MariaDB 10.5.15, and PHP 8.2.6
- Shared hosting with cPanel, nginx, Postgres 9.2, and PHP 7.2
- through Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome
- through BrowserStack for cross-browser compatibility (not compatible with Internet Explorer)

Minimum requirements: **PHP 5.5.9** & **PostgreSQL 8.4** or **MySQL 5.6**/MariaDB

Create database
---------------

Now, you're ready to setup the RosarioSIS database. If you have access to the command prompt for your server, open a terminal window and follow these instructions.

The following instructions are for **PostgreSQL** (for MySQL see below):

1. Login to PostgreSQL as the postgres user:
```bash
server$ sudo -u postgres psql
```
2. Create the rosariosis user:
```bash
postgres=# CREATE USER rosariosis_user WITH PASSWORD 'rosariosis_user_password';
```
3. Create the rosariosis database:
```bash
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE rosariosis_db WITH ENCODING 'UTF8' OWNER rosariosis_user;
```
4. Logout of PostgreSQL:
```bash
postgres=# \q
```

Also, the [`pg_hba.conf`](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html) file may have to be altered to enable password (`md5`) peer authentication:
```
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     md5
```

---------------------------------------------

The following instructions are for **MySQL** (RosarioSIS version 10 or higher):

1. Login to MySQL as the root user:
```bash
server$ sudo mysql
```
or
```bash
server$ mysql -u root -p
```
2. Allow function creation:
```bash
mysql> SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators=1;
```
3. Create the rosariosis user:
```bash
mysql> CREATE USER 'rosariosis_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'rosariosis_user_password';
```
4. Create the rosariosis database:
```bash
mysql> CREATE DATABASE rosariosis_db CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rosariosis_db.* TO 'rosariosis_user'@'localhost';
```
5. Logout of MySQL:
```bash
mysql> \q
```


Install database
----------------

To install the database, point your browser to: `http://yourdomain.com/INSTALL_LOCATION/InstallDatabase.php`

That's it!... now, point your browser to: `http://yourdomain.com/INSTALL_LOCATION/index.php`

and login as 'admin' password 'admin'.  With this login, you can create new users, and change and delete the three template users.
