Installatie via de commando-regel (CLI)

Introduction

When doing automated installs (e.g. in a virtual machine setup), we can use LimeSurvey's (v2.x referred to here) CLI (command-line interface) to good effect. The files used for this purpose (and for resetting passwords as well) are in the WEBROOT/application/commands folder, the one of interest here being console.php.

Pre-requisites

• PHP CLI should be available
• WEBROOT/application/config/config.php should be available and populated with the parameters provided by the automated installation process.
• The availablity of the PHP Modules permissions should match the needs of LimeSurvey.
• An empty MySQL database should be created and the user should have the proper privileges in order to use it.

Gebruik

In het voorbeeld nemen we aan dat WEBROOT de waarde /var/www/limesurvey heeft.

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

Uitvoertekst:

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

De beschikbare commando's:
 - install
 - message
 - migrate
 - plugin
 - resetpassword
 - shell
 - webapp

Voor hulp bij een specifiek commando:
   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 the 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.

Voorbeeld

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

uitvoertekst:

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

en de database moet aanwezig zijn.
