General
The LimeSurvey project offers two ways of installating LimeSurvey:
- On your webserver:
+In that case just follow the instructions on this page starting with step 1.
- On your local Windows PC:
+You usually only want to install LimeSurvey on your local PC if you want to create surveys locally (mainly for speed or test reasons) and upload them later to your live LimeSurvey installation on a web server. For this we have prepared a special package for LimeSurvey which includes the web server, the database and the LimeSurvey application and instructions how to install it.
1. Verifique que puede instalar LimeSurvey en su servidor
Por favor, compruebe que el servidor en el que va a realizar la instalación de LimeSurvey cumple con los siguientes requisitos mínimos:
- Aproximadamente 9 Megabytes de espacio el en disco duro.
- PHP 4.3.2 o una versión posterior de PHP 4 o PHP 5.x o una versión posterior
- MySQL 4.1.0 o una versión posterior o Microsoft SQL Server 2000 o una versión posterior
- Módulos de PHP Obligatorios
- Módulo mysql4 o mysql5
- Módulos de PHP Opcionales
- Módulo mbstring (Multibyte String Functions) para poder utilizar un idioma distinto al inglés (vea también Installation FAQ)
- Módulo para la librería GD (Captchas en las autenticaciones y registros) vea GD-Library PHP Documentation
- Módulo para LDAP (para importar población encuestada usando consultas LDAP) vea PHP LDAP Documentation
En la mayoría de los casos, si usted utiliza algún tipo de hospedaje, su proveedor le habrá informado y ayudará en este sentido, pero siempre puede probar a hacer un archivo simple tipo prueba.php:
y ejecutarlo en su navegador con la dirección http://midominio.org/prueba.php para ver qué configuración tiene su instalación de PHP
In most cases your webspace provider or system administrator will be able to help you out on these optional components.
If you want to try LimeSurvey on your local machine we recommend XAMPP which is an easy to install software package containing a complete web server with Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl. LimeSurvey will run on XAMPP with no configuration needed.
If you want to run Microsoft's IIS server take a look at "Installation of LimeSurvey on a Windows XP machine" and "Installation on XP with IIS".
1.1 Hosting for LimeSurvey
LimeSurvey should work with most hosting companies which provide PHP and MYSQL. If you want a ready-installed version of LimeSurvey consider using LimeService, else check out our list of LimeSurvey-compatible hosting companies.
2. Descargue el archivo comprimido de LimeSurvey
Visite el sitio de SourceForge para descargar la última versión de LimeSurvey: http://sourceforge.net/projects/limesurvey/
El archivo (comprimido en formato zip) tiene un tamaño aproximado de 4 Mb. Descárguelo y guárdelo en la ubicación deseada
para ser accesible según la configuración de su servidor web.
3. Descomprima el archivo comprimido de LimeSurvey
Descomprima el archivo zip en el directorio deseado utilizando la herramienta de descompresión de su preferencia. Asegúrese de que se descomprima la estructura de directorios y los archivos (es el comportamiento por defecto en la mayoría de utilidades de descompresión).
4. Collect information about your server
You will need to know the following things to install LimeSurvey on your web server correctly:
- Your intended website URL where your scripts will reside (e.g: http://my.domain.com/limesurvey)
- The physical disk location on your server where your scripts will reside (ie: /home/usr/htdocs/limesurvey)
- The IP/net location of your database server (ie: localhost)
- If your database server uses a non-standard port find out which port it is.
- Your username and password for your database server
- With most providers you can't let the script create the database but have to do it yourself. If you are using such a provider please create a database (for example limesurvey) yourself.
5. Upload the files to your web server
Using your FTP program, connect to your web server and create a directory to store your scripts. Then upload the files using the directory structure they are in. Make sure you upload the files in binary mode (check the settings of your FTP program). Please note that uploading in ASCII mode can lead to uncommon errors (e.g. 'class not found' error during installation), also images may not be uploaded correctly.
7.1 Set Directory permissions
For the script to work properly it needs certain access to some directories - this applies especially to Linux/*nix systems.
- The "/limesurvey/tmp" directory and all its subdirectories and files are used for imports & uploads and should be set to Read & Write for your webserver.
- The "/limesurvey/upload/" directory and all its subdirectories and files must also have Read & Write for your webserver in order to enable picture and media files upload.
- The "/limesurvey/application/config/" directory also needs Read & Write permissions for your webserver.
- The other directories can be set to Read Only or in Linux/Unix. You may wish to set the permissions on each file within the /limesurvey/admin directory to Read Only.
Hint: If you are using Linux then depending on your webserver configuration you will have to chmod the rights on the writable folders to 755 or 777. Try 755 first - if it does not work 'upgrade' to 777.7.2 Create a database user
LimeSurvey will create a database and the tables inside it. To be able to do this it will need the username and password of a database user. In general we recommend to create a database user with the following permissions:
- MySQL: SELECT, CREATE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP, INDEX
- PostgreSQL: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE, TRIGGER
- Microsoft SQL Server:
8. Run the installation script
Go to "http://your.domain.com/limesurvey/admin". If you configured everything correctly the LimeSurvey installer should be starting - just follow the instructions. You will be asked if to create the database and/or create the tables inside the database. Limesurvey then creates the needed tables in the database.
9. Connect to the administration script for the first time
After the installer has finished you are done! Open your browser and enter the URL of your admin.php script. Assuming you used LimeSurvey as the directory name to store the files in, this will be something like "http://your.domain.com/limesurvey/admin/admin.php".
You should get a login screen. The default login credentials (if not changed during in the installation) are
Password: password
You will be prompted to change the default password after you logged in. Have fun!
10. What if I have problems...
Like all computer programs, most of the time things will work just like the instructions say, but sometimes they just won't. There are too many possible reasons for things not going according to plan to describe here. If you have trouble, first check out the Installation FAQ. If you don't find your answer there please post your problem and any error messages in the LimeSurvey forums on limesurvey.org or join the IRC channel:
