Install Ortro

Download the stable version of Ortro Extract and move the Ortro web application where you want (i.e. /opt/):

$ tar zxvf /path/of/the/file/ortro-x.x.x.tar.gz
$ mv ortro-x.x.x <YOUR_FOLDER>/ortro`

Add the alias directive reported below in apache conf file:

Alias /ortro/ "<YOUR_FOLDER>/ortro/www/"

Check for the correct ownership of the ortro folder in according with the dedicated user for running httpd (i.e. www-data).

To change the ownership of the folder:

chown -R www-data <YOUR_FOLDER>/ortro

Restart the webserver and connect to:

http://<your_server_ip>/ortro

if everything was ok you should see the install wizard.

Configure in according with your environment and... enjoy!!

Configure the remote hosts

Copy the public key ortro_rsa.pub on the remote host:

$ scp ortro_rsa.pub remote_user@remote_host:~

Connect to the host

$ ssh remote_user@remote_host
$ cat ortro_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys

When you connect to a ssh server the first time you will see the message:

The authenticity of host ... (//remote_host//)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 68:85:7d:7a:5a:7f:96:3c:3a:b6:9b:8c:4f:d7:a3:c0.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

To avoid this you can add the following option at your ssh command:

-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no

Note

To avoid authentication error, check the permissions and ownership of the .ssh folder and authorized_keys files. Eventually you may fix permissions and ownership using the commands reported belows on the remote host:

$ cd ~
$ chown remote_user .ssh
$ chown remote_user .ssh/authorized_keys
$ chmod 700 .ssh
$ chmod 644 .ssh/authorized_keys
