Installation - LimeSurvey CE/zh-hant

Note: These installation instructions are for version 2.0 or later. Older instructions for 1.92 can be found here and update instructions can be found here

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. 你確定 LimeSurvey 能夠在你的網站使用

確定伺服器符合以下全部要求:

Required:

• Minimum 180MB disk space
• MySQL 5.5.3 or later OR    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later OR  Postgres 8.1 or later
• Minimum PHP 5.3.3 or later, however we recommend "PHP 5.5.x" with the following modules/libraries enabled:
  • mbstring (Multibyte String Functions) extension library (see also Installation FAQ)
  • PDO database driver for MySQL (pdo_mysql or pdo_mysqli) or Postgres (pdo_pgsql) or MSSQL (pdo_sqlsrv for Windows and pdo_dblib for Linux)
  • Also we assume in general that all PHP default libraries are enabled (like hash, session, etc.).

Note: LimeSurvey 2.x uses different database drivers than 1.x . If you get a message not No DBO driver was found during the installation you will have to contact your webspace provider and ask them to activate one of the aforementioned database driver libraries.

Note: If you are connecting from Linux to a MSSQL database on a Windows server using the dblib PDO driver, then the underlying FreeTDS needs to be set up correctly. Check out the Troubleshooting page for more info.

選項:

• 已安裝 GD-Library (for captchas in registration form) 見於 GD-Library PHP 說明文件
• 已安裝 LDAP-Library installed (採用 LDAP 導入操作代碼) 見於 PHP LDAP 說明文件

大多數情況下網頁伺服器的供應商可以代勞.

If you want to run Microsoft's IIS server taking a look at "Installation on XP with IIS might also help.

瀏覽器相容性

For the survey taking side we currently support IE9 and all newer comparable browsers like FF, Chrome, Opera, etc. For the administration part we currently support IE11 and all newer comparable browsers like FF, Chrome, Opera, etc. We do not support any IE version running in Intranet-mode or Compatibility-mode!

Screen sizes

We support any reasonable screen size for survey taking (360px x 640px and up). For the LimeSurvey administration the minimum screen resolution supported ist 1280px x 1024px.

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. 下載 LimeSurvey 套件

到訪 sourceforge 網站下載最新的 LimeSurvey 軟件包. http://sourceforge.net/projects/limesurvey/

軟件包約 2 MB 的檔案大小。 下載 zip 壓縮格式的檔案，並儲存到您的硬碟內。

3. 解壓 LimeSurvey 軟件包

Uncompress the zip file into a dedicated directory/folder using your preferred compression software. When you uncompress the file make sure that you uncompress the directory structure with the files (this is default behavior for most compression programs). The path name for the installation directory should not include ( or ) characters, but may include the space character

4. 收集網站伺服器信息

你需要符合以下條件才可以正確安裝 LimeSurvey.

• 你要建立 limesurvey 的網址URL來存放它的源程序 (ie: 'http://my.domain.com/limesurvey')
• limesurvey 在伺服器所在的實質位置 (ie: '/home/usr/htdocs/limesurvey')
• 你的 MySQL 數據庫的 IP/網絡位置 (ie:'localhost')
• 如果您的 MySQL 數據庫使用非標準接口, 您就要找出接口編號.
• 你的 MySQL 數據庫使用的用戶名稱及密碼
• 如果您的網絡伺服器是使用 Windows 操作系統, 請當試找出 mysql bin 檔案的存放位置. (ie: 'c:/mysql/bin')

5. LimeSurvey 的組態設定

使用自己的文字編輯器修改 /limesurvey/目錄內的 config.php 文件檔，下列設定要加以調整:

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 setting permissions depends on your webserver configuration. For example, using Apache HTTPD on CentOS, use chmod -R 755 <directory> ; chown -R apache <directory>. This will give everyone access to read, and your webserver will have permission to write. For more information on Linux permissions, see http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/309527-understanding-linux-file-permissions

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: Unknown - if you can find out this information please complete it.

Go to "http://www.example.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.

8. 首次連結 admin 源程序

After the installer has finished you are done! Open your browser and enter the URL to the LimeSurvey administration. Assuming you used 'limesurvey' as the directory name to store the files in, this will be something like "http://www.example.com/limesurvey/admin".

You should get a login screen. The default login credentials (if not changed during in the installation) are

第一次使用 LimeSurvey 時, 源程序會連接到你在 config.php 文件設定的數據庫. 如果該數據庫並未建立, LimeSurvey 會向你發出警訊. 至低限度您會進入登入的頁面. 預設核查身份的登入資料是︰

User: admin Password: password

</syntaxhighlight>

緊記第一次登入後馬上要更改預設的密碼.

9. 我遇到問題怎麼辦...

正如所有電腦程式, 運作過程難免偶有問題, 導致運作失常的原因也很多. 如果您操作上有麻煩, 請透過 limesurvey.org 的LimeSurvey forums 支援論壇或加入 IRC channel: irc://irc.freenode.net/limesurvey 發表您遇到的技術問題或LimeSurvey 執行後出現的錯誤訊息，一定有人協助您解決困難。
