4 For information about what iscape is and how it works, see
5 http://iscape.simon-cozens.org/ - I'm assuming that since you've got to
6 the point of reading this, you've already got some idea of why you want
7 to be looking at iscape.

9 INSTALLING
10 ----------
11
12 First you will need an Ubuntu Dapper Drake server install. You shouldn't
13 need any additional packages, as iscape will install all the required
14 packages for you.
15
16 Then you'll need a copy of the iscape setup scripts. Either download a
17 tarball from http://iscape.simon-cozens.org/ or check out from SVN:
18
19     svn co http://svn.simon-cozens.org/iscape/trunk/iscape/
20
21 Finally, run install-iscape as root, and answer the questions. All being
22 well, after about half an hour and answering a number of prompts,
23 you will see the text "Setup complete!" on the console.
24
25 If there were any errors, you may be able to fix them by running the
26 script again - the script is designed to be "re-entrant" and allow you
27 to do this.
28
29 INITIAL USE
30 -----------
31
32 Before you can use your iscape account you must install the
33 Administrator's client certificate in your browser. We recommend using
34 Firefox (in fact we mandate it internally!) and you might want to
35 consider creating a new profile for the Administrator certificate. See
36 http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#new for how to do this.
37
38 The certificate can be found in ~Administrator/Administrator.p12 -
39 connect either using Samba or SSH to get this file onto your local
40 machine, and install it into your browser. The certificate is protected
41 by a password found in ~Administrator/Administrator.pass.txt.
42
43 From there, you can connect to your server via HTTPS and access its
44 documentation there. You will need to log in via basic auth as
45 "Administrator" with the password you supplied to the script. (Not the
46 certificate password.)
47
48 POST INSTALL SETUP
49 ------------------
50
51 Unfortunately one or two components still require manual setup. To
52 complete the setup of the address book software (CiviCRM) you need to
53 first log into Drupal (https://iscape.example.com/drupal/). Then select
54 Administer, Modules, and turn on the "civicrm" and "ldapauth" modules.
55
56 Next, enter CiviCRM, "Administer CiviCRM", and select "Global Settings"
57 from the "Setup" pane. Select "Resource URLs". You might find that you
58 can get there directly via this URL, substituting iscape.example.com for
59 your site name:
60 https://iscape.example.com/drupal/index.php?q=civicrm/admin/setting/url&reset=1
61
62 Change the "CiviCRM Resource URL" to
63     https://iscape.example.com/drupal/modules/local/civicrm/
64 again making the obvious substitution.
65
66 We will endeavour to streamline this process further in the future.
