Installation Workflow

Note

In the following lines you will find as administrator user note, on Ubuntu you have to add sudo at the beginning of line, on Debian you can use su -c COMMAND)

svn checkout http://svn.zoo-project.org/svn/trunk zoo-project
  • install cgic from packages
cd zoo-project/thirds/cgic206/
  • compile
make
  • if you want use Mapserver (optional) for WMS, WFS and WCS output read Compile MapServer
  • go to kernel path
cd ../../zoo-project/zoo-kernel/
  • create configure file
autoconf
  • run configure
./configure --with-js --with-python

Note

For PHP, you must make sure to compile PHP with –enable-embed.

Note

To use MapServer add the option --with-mapserver=/path/to/mapserver/source

  • compile
make
  • copy necessary files into your cgi-bin (as administrator user)
cp main.cfg /usr/lib/cgi-bin
cp zoo_loader.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin
  • install ZOO ServiceProvider, in this case we try Python service (as administrator user)
cp ../zoo-services/hello-py/cgi-env/*.zcfg /usr/lib/cgi-bin
cp ../zoo-services/hello-py/*.py /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
  • change some information in the main.cfg (as administrator user)
nano /usr/lib/cgi-bin/main.cfg
- serverAddress = http://127.0.0.1

Note

If you have some problem in the execute request using Python service, add the following to main.cfg:

[env]
PYTHONPATH=<YOUR_PYTHONPATH>

Rewrite rule configuration

  • for better readability and fully functional ZOO Kernel, you have to modify the default Apache configuration in order to be able to use the http://localhost/zoo/ url directly. Run (as administrator user)
nano /usr/lib/cgi-bin/main.cfg
- serverAddress = http://localhost/zoo
  • first, please create a zoo directory in /var/www/ which is used by Apache as the DocumentRoot (as administrator user)
mkdir /var/www/zoo
  • Then, please edit the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default configuration file and add the following lines after the Directory block related to /var/www directory (as administrator user)
<Directory /var/www/zoo/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>
  • now create a small .htaccess file in the /var/www/zoo containing the following lines (as administrator user)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule call/(.*)/(.*) /cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?request=Execute&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=$1&DataInputs=sid=$2&RawDataOutput=Result [L,QSA]
RewriteRule (.*)/(.*) /cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?metapath=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule (.*) /cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi [L,QSA]
  • for this last file to be taken into account by Apache, you must activate the rewrite Apache module by copying a load file as bellow (as administrator user)
cp /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
  • or using the a2enmod tool this way (as administrator user)
a2enmod rewrite
  • now you should be able to access the ZOO Kernel using a simplified by restarting your Apache Web server (as administrator user)
::
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Compile MapServer

  • install MapServer dependencies (as administrator user)
apt-get install git libfreetype6-dev libproj-dev libkml-dev libcairo-dev libxml2-dev libgd2-xpm-dev libxslt1-dev
  • extract MapServer from git repository
git clone https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver.git
cd mapserver
git checkout branch-6-2
git pull
  • now compile MapServer
./configure --with-ogr --with-gdal --with-wfsclient --with-wmsclient --with-tiff --with-jpeg --with-gd --with-wcs --with-sos --with-xml2-config --with-wfs --with-fastcgi --with-proj --with-cairo --with-kml=yes --with-xslt --with-threads --with-geos
make
  • now install MapServer (as administrator user)
make install
  • now add path to libraries path (as administrator user)
nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/mapserver.conf
- /usr/local/lib/
  • run as administrator
ldconfig
