How to Build the WRE on OpenBSD
Here is a detailed log of what I did to build the WRE under OpenBSD 4.2.
Install OpenBSD 4.2-RELEASE
- Add xbase42 to the sets installed, we need expat
- In 4.3-RELEASE expat will be part of base, this step is not required.
After First Boot
- Login as "root"
- Add a normal user for yourself. Be sure to add this user to group 'wheel'
- Add a user called 'webgui'.
- Set shell 'nologin'
- Login Class 'daemon'
- Empty password
- Set the password so the user cannot login.
- Edit the sudoers file
- Uncomment the line to allow people in group 'wheel' to run all commands and set environment variables
- NOTE: We'll be adding the WRE's environment to our own login
- Set up your PKG_PATH
- Edit root's .profile to export PKG_PATH so we can use pkg_add(1) with the '-i' switch
- See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html for how to set up packages
- Install necessary packages
- pkg_add -i bash
- link /usr/local/bin/bash to /bin/bash
- pkg_add -i gmake
- pkg_add -i autoconf-2.61p1
- Install wget so we can get files from the web
- Log out and log back in under your username (we'll refer to them as 'user' from now on)
Build the WRE
- Make the /data directory
- Change the owner of /data to 'user'
- Get the WRE
- Download the WRE source to /data
- Extract the WRE source. It creates /data/wrebuild
- Update OpenSSL to 0.9.8g
- cd /data/wrebuild/source
- rm -rf openssl-0.9.7m
- wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
- tar zxphf openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
- rm openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
- cd ..
- perl -pi.bak -e's/openssl-0\.9\.7m/openssl-0.9.8g/' build.sh
- Build the WRE
- cd /data/wrebuild; ./build.sh --all
- WRE is installed to /data/wre
- Fix permissions
- chown -R webgui /data/wre/var/logs
- chown -R webgui /data/wre/var/mysqldata/
Start the WRE and add a site
- Set up your environment
- For both users of the system: 'root' and 'user'
- Add this to .profile:
- . /data/wre/sbin/setenvironment.sh
- Note the space between the . and the /
- Run the WRE Console for initial setup
- Source in the WRE environment. This will happen automatically next time we login (due to what we did above).
- . /data/wre/sbin/setenvironment.sh
- wreconsole.pl
- Open web browser to where it tells you
- Update Perl Modules
- cd /data/WebGUI/sbin
- perl testEnvironment.pl
