Dashboard Technical Specifications

Installation and Setup

The server hardware and software installation steps are described below:

Hardware Installation

The server landscape can be configured with the database and web application running on the same server; alternately, the two can run on different servers.

1. Set up a server with the specifications described above
2. Ensure the operating system has the latest updates applied to it
3. Ensure that both the web server and the database server (if separate) are connected to the network

Software Installation

1. Configure the Apache web server to listen on port 80 for the web application server
2. Configure the database server with the appropriate database version (specified in the Software Requirements section)
3. Download the Dolcera Dashboard installation package (Dolcera_Dashboard_vxxx.zip) to the server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative
4. Unzip the folder in any directory (e.g. /tmp)
5. Edit the following information in the config.ini file
   • IP address of the database server
   • Database administrator username and password
   • IP address of the web application server
6. Run the installer as superuser (sudo)
   • The installer will set up and configure the database, ensure that PHP5 is set up with the web server, install the web application, and test the connection from the web application to the database

Testing the Application

Once the software installation is complete, log into the application: URL: http://localhost/auth/ Username: admin Password: admin (you will be able to change the password thereafter)

Setting up Users

1. Log in as the administrator (username: admin)
2. Create users and assign privileges

Best Practices

1. Apply the latest database and web server patches
2. Change the admin password by logging into the server http://servname/auth
