Installatie via de commando-regel (CLI)

Introductie

Als je een automatische installatie uitvoert, alsof het een Virtuele Machine is, kunnen we LimeSurvey's (hier v2.x genoemd) CLI (Command Line interface) gebruiken. De bestanden die hierbij gebruikt worden (en die ook gebruikt worden voor het resetten van wachtwoorden) staan in de map WEBROOT/application/commands, in dit geval gaat het om het bestand 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.
