keeping to this howto do this:

• download the prebuilt Kamikaze image in vmware disk image format:

(Remark: in case you should wonder why we're using the latest RC of 10.03.1 - it's because that is the first release that sports the mysql-server package)

• download the g'zipped prebuilt 1 GB spare disk image in vmware disk image format and gunzip it or roll your own:
  • create a new file system for the db in an appropiate size - you might want to start with 1 GB:

dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1024M count=10

• create an ext2 file system in that image

mkfs.ext2 sparedisk-1G.img

• convert the image using qemu-img from the package „qemu“ (Ubuntu/Debian):

qemu-img convert -f raw sparedisk-1G.img -O vmdk sparedisk-1G.vmdk

• get the VMware configuration file
• open the vmx file with VMWare Player
• boot your new vm
• edit /etc/config/network:

config 'interface' 'lan'
  option 'ifname' 'eth0'
  option 'proto' 'dhcp'

• restart your network using the new settings:

/etc/init.d/network restart

• set a new root password:

passwd

• retrieve current package list:

opkg update

• mount overlay file system:

mount /dev/sdb1 /overlay

• move dirs with high disk space requirements to overlay file system:

mkdir /overlay/mysql
mkdir /mnt/data
ln -s /overlay/mysql/ /mnt/data/
mkdir /overlay/libexec
ln -s /overlay/libexec/ /usr/

• install required packages:

opkg install mysql-server php5-mod-mysql lighttpd coreutils-su php5-mod-pdo-mysql php5-mod-json php5-mod-sockets git bash php5-cgi libsqlite3 lighttpd-mod-fastcgi php5-mod-session lighttpd-mod-cgi php5-mod-ctype

• remarks: bash for install script (temporary) (php → php-cli)

mkdir -p /mnt/data/mysql
ln -s /usr/bin/hostname /bin/
mysql_install_db --force (weil: /usr/bin/resolveip ist nicht da)

• clone volkszaehler.org:

cd /overlay
git clone git:\/\/github.com/volkszaehler/volkszaehler.org.git
cd /overlay/volkszaehler.org/volkszaehler.org/middleware/

• copy the config template and modify it to your needs:

cp volkszaehler.conf.template.php volkszaehler.conf.php
volkszaehler.conf.php:
$config['db']['user']                           = '<db-user>';
$config['db']['password']                       = 'demo';

• run installer:

bash /overlay/volkszaehler.org/share/tools/install.sh

• set doctrine path to „/overlay/lib/doctrine“
• set volkszaehler path to „/overlay/www/vz“
• stop uhttpd before removing it

/etc/init.d/uhttpd stop

• now remove uhttpd and all packages that depend on uhttpd:

opkg remove luci-core luci-uci luci-theme-openwrt luci-web luci-sgi-cgi luci-http luci-app-firewall luci-admin-core luci-sys luci-uvl luci-lmo luci-app-initmgr luci-ipkg luci-cbi luci-admin-mini luci-admin-full luci-ipkg luci-admin-core luci-cbi luci-uvl luci-i18n-english luci-uci uhttpd

• modify /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:

server.document-root = "/overlay/www/"
index-file.names = ( "index.html", "index.php", "default.html", "index.htm", "default.htm" )

• modify /etc/php.ini:

doc_root = "/overlay/www"
; Dynamic Extensions               
extension=ctype.so
extension=json.so       
extension=pdo.so 
extension=pdo-mysql.so
extension=session.so               
extension=sockets.so        

• enable (normal) cgi modify /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:

cgi.assign = ( ".php" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi" )    

• or else enable fastcgi modify /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:

fastcgi.server = (                             
        ".php" => (            
                "localhost" => (                 
                        "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",                 
                        "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-fcgi"
                )           
        )                                
)                                                           
server.modules = (
        "mod_fastcgi",
)      

todos:

• mount /overlay at boot time
• start mysqld at boot time („To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system“
  • cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld & (ohne _safe, weil nicht da!)
  • /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
  • /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h backfire password 'new-password'
• start lighttpd at boot time
