| 36 |
/usr/local/lbbs/conf/bbsd.conf |
$LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/bbsd.conf |
| 37 |
/usr/local/lbbs/utils/conf/db_conn.inc.php |
$LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/badwords.conf |
| 38 |
|
$LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/conf/db_conn.conf.php |
| 39 |
|
|
| 40 |
|
8) Copy CA cert file of MySQL server to $LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/ca_cert.pem |
| 41 |
|
|
| 42 |
|
9) Generate menu configuration file with section data by running the script |
| 43 |
|
sudo -u bbs php $LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/bin/gen_section_menu.php |
| 44 |
|
sudo -u bbs php $LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/bin/gen_ex_list.php |
| 45 |
|
|
| 46 |
|
10) Create SSH2 RSA certificate |
| 47 |
|
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "Your Server Name" -f $LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/ssh_host_rsa_key |
| 48 |
|
|
| 49 |
|
11) Startup |
| 50 |
|
sudo -u bbs $LBBS_HOME_DIR/bin/bbsd |
| 51 |
|
|
| 52 |
|
12) (Optional) Set up systemd |
| 53 |
|
Enable systemd related feature during config, by running: |
| 54 |
|
./configure --prefix=$LBBS_HOME_DIR --enable-systemd |
| 55 |
|
Create your own /usr/lib/systemd/system/lbbs.service from the sample at conf/lbbs.service, and make any change if necessary. |
| 56 |
|
Reload daemon config and start the service. |
| 57 |
|
|
| 58 |
7) Generate menu configuration file with section data by running the script |
13) (Optional) Set up logrotate |
| 59 |
sudo -u bbs php /usr/local/lbbs/utils/bin/gen_section_menu.php |
Create your own /etc/logrotate.d/lbbs from the sample at conf/lbbs.logrotate, and make any change if necessary. |
| 60 |
sudo -u bbs php /usr/local/lbbs/utils/bin/gen_ex_list.php |
Restart logrotate service. |
| 61 |
|
|
| 62 |
|
14) Cleanup on abnormal service termination |
| 63 |
|
In case of any unexpected failure or improper operation which results in abnormal termination of lbbs process, manual cleanup of shared memory / semaphore might be required before re-launch the process. Run the following command to check first: |
| 64 |
|
sudo -u bbs ipcs |
| 65 |
|
There should be no item owned by bbs. Otherwise, run the following command to cleanup: |
| 66 |
|
sudo -u bbs ipcrm -a |
| 67 |
|
|
|
8) Create or copy SSH2 RSA certificate into /usr/local/lbbs/conf |
|
|
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "Your Server Name" -f ssh_host_rsa_key |
|
| 68 |
|
|
| 69 |
9) Startup |
For MSYS2 User |
| 70 |
sudo /usr/local/lbbs/bin/bbsd |
================== |
| 71 |
|
Installation of LBBS on MSYS2 is similar to the above steps for Linux, except that: |
| 72 |
|
|
| 73 |
|
1) Use additional config switches to keep compatible with the MSYS2 environment. |
| 74 |
|
./configure --prefix=$LBBS_HOME_DIR --with-mariadb --with-iconv --without-epoll --without-sysv |
| 75 |
|
|
| 76 |
|
2) Skip those steps not supported (e.g. systemd and logrotate). |
| 77 |
|
|
|
10) Set up systemd |
|
|
Create your own /usr/lib/systemd/system/lbbs.service from the sample at conf/lbbs.service.default, and make any change if necessary. |
|
|
Reload daemon config and start the service. |
