Version d'installation 1.92 ou antérieure
From LimeSurvey Manual
1. Assurez-vous que vous pouvez utiliser LimeSurvey sur votre site Web
Assurez-vous que votre serveur répond aux exigences supplémentaires suivantes :
Requis :
- Espace disque minimum de 80 Mo
- MySQL 4.1.0 ou version ultérieure OU Microsoft SQL Server 2000 ou version ultérieure OU Postgres 8.1 ou version ultérieure
- PHP 5.1.2 ou version ultérieure avec les modules/bibliothèques suivants activés :
- Bibliothèque d'extension mbstring (Fonctions de chaîne multi-octets) (voir aussi FAQ d'installation )
- Bibliothèque PHP mysql5 ou pgsql (qui est standard chez les fournisseurs d'hébergement - si vous avez configuré votre propre serveur, assurez-vous qu'il est installé)
Remarque : Nous supposons que vous n'avez aucune bibliothèque standard PHP explicitement désactivée (comme sessions, pcre, ctype ou autres).
Extensions PHP facultatives :
- GD-Library avec support FreeType installé est nécessaire pour les captchas ou de jolis graphiques dans les statistiques - voir /en/image.setup.php Documentation PHP GD-Library Extension
- IMAP (assez standard) est nécessaire pour le Système de suivi des rebonds d'e-mails - voir .php.net/manual/en/imap.setup.php Documentation de l'extension PHP IMAP
- LDAP installé est nécessaire pour importer des jetons à l'aide de LDAP - voir /manual/en/ldap.installation.php Documentation PHP LDAP
- Zip (assez standard) pour le téléchargement de modèles et les ressources d'importation Archives Zip - voir manual/en/zip.setup.php Documentation de l'extension PHP Zip
- Zlib (assez standard) est nécessaire pour le ComfortUpdate - voir /manual/en/zlib.setup.php Documentation de l'extension PHP Zlib
Dans la plupart des cas, votre fournisseur d'espace Web ou votre administrateur système sera en mesure de vous aider sur ces composants facultatifs.
Si vous souhaitez essayer LimeSurvey sur votre ordinateur local, nous vous recommandons XAMPP qui est un logiciel facile à installer contenant un serveur Web complet avec Apache, MySQL, PHP et Perl. LimeSurvey fonctionnera sur XAMPP sans aucune configuration nécessaire.
Si vous souhaitez exécuter le serveur IIS de Microsoft, jetez un œil à "Installation sur XP avec IIS".
1.1 Hébergement pour LimeSurvey
LimeSurvey devrait fonctionner avec la plupart des sociétés d'hébergement qui fournissent PHP et MYSQL. Si vous souhaitez une version déjà installée de LimeSurvey, envisagez d'utiliser LimeSurvey Cloud, sinon consultez notre liste des sociétés d'hébergement compatibles LimeSurvey.
2. Téléchargez le package LimeSurvey
Téléchargez le dernier package zip stable de LimeSurvey (il existe également des packages gzip, bz2 et 7zip disponibles pour votre commodité) et enregistrez-le sur votre disque local.
3. Unpack the LimeSurvey package
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. 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. Configure LimeSurvey
Now open the file config.php in the /limesurvey/ root directory with your preferred text editor.
5.1 Basic settings
Walk through config.php and check/configure the following settings:
- $databasetype: This is the database type. At the moment you can set here "mysql" for the MySQL database server, "odbc_mssql" or "mssqlnative" (requires the native MSSQL PHP driver from Microsoft) for Microsoft SQL server and "postgres" for Postgres SQL Server. At least those are the ones that have been tested. (:biggrin:)
- $databaselocation: Set this to the IP/net location of your database server. In most cases "localhost" will work. If you are using MSSQL try to use <MACHINENAME>/<SERVERNAME> instead.
- $databasename: The name of the database on your database server that you will be using for LimeSurvey. If you have high level permissions on the server, you can create a database from LimeSurvey. In this case, put whatever the database will be called into this setting. Alternatively you can use the name of a previously created database here. If you provide an existing database name make sure the database does not contain old tables of LimeSurvey.
- $databaseuser: Your database server user name
- $databasepass: Your database server password
- $dbprefix: You can leave this setting blank (ie: $dbprefix="";) if you are using a separate database for LimeSurvey alone. If you want to share a database between LimeSurvey and other database applications, add a prefix to this setting. The recommended prefix is "lime_", but really - this is up to you. Note: Creating a database and a username in MySQL with command line is described in Installation FAQ.
- $rooturl: This should be set to the URL location of your LimeSurvey scripts. If you copied the LimeSurvey files into the folder limesurveyfolder you have to rename {$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/limesurvey to the folder name you have chosen ({$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}limesurveyfolder). The variable {$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']} will attempt to do determine your domain name atomatically, so usually don't change it. If it doesn't work, set this to full server URL. (Example "http://www.mydomain.com/limesurvey"). If you want LimeSurvey to only use SSL change http to https (provided that you have SSL certificates correctly installed and configured on your server). If you want to use http & https at the same time just leave this setting at http.
- $rootdir: Usually you don't need to change this. It should be set to the physical disk location of your scripts. The default setting will attempt to do this for you, so most probably you won't need to change anything here (the section "dirname('''FILE''');" tries to do this automatically). If it doesn't work, type the disk location in manually - for example /home/public_html/limesurvey.
- $defaultuser: When the script has access control turned on this is the default user that is created when LimeSurvey first sets up your security settings.
- $defaultpass: When the script has access control turned on this is the default password that is created when LimeSurvey first sets up your security settings.
5.2 Optional settings
There are many more optional settings you can set in config.php. Most of them are for installation only and can later be change in the Global settings dialog. For more information on these optional settings please check out the this page. However for a basic setup just continue with the next step.
6. 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. 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 is used for imports & uploads and should be set to Read & Write for your webserver.
- The "/limesurvey/upload/" directory and all its subdirectories must also have Read & Write for your webserver in order to enable picture and media files upload.
- 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.
8. Run the installation script
Go to "http://your.domain.com/limesurvey/admin/install". If you configured everything correctly you will be asked to create the database and/or create the tables inside the database. LimeSurvey then creates the needed tables in the database.
After the script shows that it successfully created the tables, you will be prompted to rename or delete the /admin/install directory - so just do it (:biggrin:).
9. Connect to the administration script for the first time
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 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:
