Installation

You can get the most recent version of ACARM-ng GUI here. Since ACARM-ng GUI is a web interface there are no implied system requirements for clients. A web browser capable of running JavaScript should be sufficient.

Tested browsers include:

• Firefox 3.5
• Konqueror 4.4

but the list of supported browsers is much longer.

Requirement for the server side:

• PHP 5.x
• web server (tested on Apache 2.x)
• access to database server (either local or remote)

There is no need for compilation or any extra preparation to run the GUI. What you need is to unpack the tarball under your web server's directory, set the access to the database and for security reasons set the password or certificate to access the GUI.

To set the database parameters you need to edit file protected/application.xml, find section and edit appropriate fields.

 <module class="System.Data.TDataSourceConfig" id="db_conn">
   <database ConnectionString="pgsql:host=hostname;dbname=name_of_the_db"
     Username="username" Password="password" />
 </module>

To restrict the access to this interface you need to use mechanisms that comes with your web server such as Basic access authentication or a certificate based scheme.
