Instalação usando um comando de linha de interface (CLI)

Introdução

Quando fizer instalações automáticas como na configuração Máquina Virtual, nós podemos usar a da LimeSurvey (v2.x referida aqui) CLI (Comando de Linha de Interface) tem um bom efeito. Esses arquivos usados para esse propósito (como também para reiniciar senhas) estão na pasta WEBROOT/application/commands, o arquivo de interesse aqui é console.php.

Pre-requisites

• PHP CLI should be available
• WEBROOT/application/config/config.php should be available and populated with the automated install's parameters.
• Folder permissions PHP Modules availability should match LimeSurvey needs
• Empty MySQL database should be created and the database use user should be properly privileged for it.

Usage

For illustration purposes here we assume the WEBROOT to be /var/www/limesurvey

cd /var/www/limesurvey/application/commands
php console.php

This will show:

Yii command runner (based on Yii v1.1.14)
Usage: console.php <command-name> [parameters...]

The following commands are available:
 - install
 - message
 - migrate
 - plugin
 - resetpassword
 - shell
 - webapp

To see individual command help, use the following:
   console.php help <command-name>

Syntax

php console.php <Admin User Name> <Admin User Password> <Full Name> <EMail ID>

• The Full Name and password are enclosed in double quotes if they contain spaces or other special characters.
• All other parameters like DB Name, DB Type, DB User, DB Password, etc are to be populated in the config.php file before script execution.
• The script should be executed from and in the WEBROOT/application/commands folder only.

Example

cd /var/www/limesurvey/application/commands
php console.php install limeadmin pwd123 Admin admin@mydomain.com

outputs the following text:

/var/www/limesurvey/installer/sql/create-mysql.sql

and the database should be properly installed.
