Linux Quick Install

Please note that Apache processes and script names can differ between different unix and linux distributions. Some examples of these differences can be found below:

	Init Script	App Location	Deamon Name	Document Root
Suse 9*	/etc/init.d/apache2	/usr/sbin/httpd2	httpd2	/srv/www/htdocs/
RedHat 8	/etc/init.d/apache	/usr/sbin/httpd	httpd	/var/www/htdocs
Gentoo	/etc/init.d/apache2	/usr/sbin/apache2	httpd2	/var/www/localhost/htdocs
Others				/usr/local/apache/htdocs/

* - used in this document

We have stuck to the defaults present in Suse 9 for the purpose of this install document. If you are running a different distribution you may find you need to refer to a different set of Apache defaults given in the list above. Unfortunately It's never quite as simple as it could be with Linux!

Check	Action	Command
	Download QaTraq	Download from here
	Extract QaTraq	cp qatraq_pro_6_10_2.tar.gz /srv/www/htdocs/. cd /srv/www/htdocs/ gunzip qatraq_pro_6_10_2.tar.gz tar -xvof qatraq_pro_6_10_2.tar cd /srv/www/htdocs/qatraq
	Create the QaTraq database	mysql -uroot -p<password> -e "create database qatraq" cd DB mysql -uroot -p<password> qatraq < qatraq.sql
	Configure SQL user accounts	mysql -uroot -p<password>
	mysql> grant usage on qatraq.* to qatraq@localhost identified by '<qatraq_password>'; mysql> grant all on qatraq.* to qatraq@localhost identified by '<qatraq_password>'; mysql> grant usage on qatraq.* to report@localhost identified by '<report_password>'; mysql> grant select on qatraq.* to report@localhost identified by '<report_password>'; mysql> \q Where <qatraq_password> and <report_password> are passwords of your choice
	Configure db_params.php include file	For QaTraq version 6 cd ../lib vi db_params.php
	$db_data['tmt'] = array( 'host' => 'localhost', 'db' => 'qatraq', 'user' => 'qatraq', 'password' = '<qatraq_password>' ); $db_data['tmt_reports'] = array( 'host' => 'localhost', 'db' => 'qatraq', 'user' => 'report', 'password' = '<report_password>' ); Edit db_params.php using Vi (or any other text editor), setting <qatraq_password> and <report_password> to values dependent on the passwords provided in the 'Configure QaTraq Sql user accounts' section above. Note that the reports user should have been set up with only SELECT privileges for the database so that users of QaTraq running reports don't have privileges which allow them to write to or modify the database.
	Log in to the QaTraq	http://localhost/qatraq/index.php user name: admin password: admin
	Change default QaTraq user accounts	For security reasons please change the password on the admin account (user: admin, password: admin) and delete the test1 account
