Set up MySQL

You need to create a database, and a DreamFactory user in your MySQL instance. On a fresh install, this is quite simple:

ubuntu@ip-10-164-45-80:~$ mysql -u root -p


Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 36

Configuring MongoDB Support<\b>

There is an extra step to setup library support for MongoDB:

ubuntu@ip-10-164-45-80:~$ sudo pecl install mongo

DSP Installation from Github

To prepare for the DreamFactory installation from Github, create the DreamFactory directory on your server with the appropriate rights.

$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/dreamfactory/platform

$ sudo chmod 777 /opt/dreamfactory/platform

Next we will do a git clone to download the DreamFactory repository dsp-core.

$ git clone https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dsp-core.git /opt/dreamfactory/platform

Now that the DreamFactory files are downloaded we will execute the installation script.

$ cd /opt/dreamfactory/platform

$ sudo ./scripts/installer.sh –cv

Enable Site

Finally we need to configure apache to connect to the DreamFactory application.

Below are the instructions to change the default site on Apache2. For instructions on setting up virtual hosts on apache 2.2 and 2.4 please review the apache documentation.

In this example we will edit the Apache default configuration file.

```bash $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default ```

Change the DocumentRoot to /opt/dreamfactory/platform/web and the value of AllowOverride to All

DocumentRoot /opt/dreamfactory/platform/web
<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Update the Directory Path and the value of AllowOverride to All

<Directory /opt/dreamfactory/platform/web/>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride All #update to all
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
</Directory>

Enable the apache2 rewrite engine.

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

Change the rights, so that the assets directory is writable.

$ sudo chmod 775 /opt/dreamfactory/platform/web/assets/

Restart the apache server

$ sudo service apache2 restart.

Your DreamFactory Application should now be active, and available by entering the DNS name or IP address of your server into a web browser.
