• The database setup script
setup_db.php
finishes by displaying the password for the
MASTERADMIN
account. Don’t
forget to make a note of this password!
• The ST server setup script
setup_stserver.php
will generate a Certificate Authority (CA), unless a CA has been
configured earlier. Enter a passphrase for the CA when prompted. The
setup_stserver.php
script will also generate a
CA-signed certificate for the ST server. Enter the CA passphrase when prompted.
• The setup scripts may prompt for user action, please ignore the messages.
Run the setup scripts in the following order:
% php setup_db.php
% php setup_websocketserver.php
% php setup_webserver.php
% php setup_stserver.php
% php setup_mediaserver.php
% php setup_sthelpers.php
% exit

3.3.1 Start the web server
Copy the file
webserver1-virtualhost
to your Apache virtualhost folder
# cd /home/sts/current/setup/
# cp webserver1-virtualhost.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available
Note
If the Web App and the API are hosted on a different domains, Cross-site HTTP requests (CORS) must be enabled by the server
hosting the API in the configuration file
webserver1-virtualhost.conf
.
Enable and restart Apache:
# a2enmod rewrite
# a2enmod headers
# a2enmod expires
# a2enmod cgi
# a2dissite 000-default.conf
# a2ensite webserver1-virtualhost.conf
# service apache2 restart
To check that the interface is reachable, enter the following URL in a browser (remember that this is HTTPS!):
https://<your-host-name>/admin/test.php
Note
The ST servers have not been started and are therefore not reachable yet. The page may take some time to load.
