[freeside-devel] Installing 4.x on debian jessie

[Fernando M. Kiernan]

Hi, taking my last post about installing 4.x on wheezy as a base, these
changes are needed to the resulting doc to get v4.x running on Jessie.

- On the “Add the freeside repository” change the distribution from wheezy
to Jessie.
- On the prerequisites list libgd2-xpm and ttf-dustin must be eliminated.

On main Makefile the next line should be added to the install-apache target:

        [ -d ${APACHE_CONF} ] && [ -x /usr/sbin/a2enmod ] && (
/usr/sbin/a2enmod rewrite ) || true

On the generic 4.x install page
(http://www.freeside.biz/mediawiki/index.php/Freeside:4:Documentation:Instal
lation) the “Database user” paragraph should be replaced by:

$ createuser -P -d freeside
Enter password for new role:
Enter it again:
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n

And a note saying “on Jessie it is possible the two final questions did not
show up” or something like that.

This last change also can be done on the 3.x install page as the same
applies.
