Installation instructions

Note: GCconnex does not work with PHP7 - GCconnex ne fonctionne pas avec PHP7

Ubuntu 14.04

Install Composer

Setup Composer: Download the install off the site. Default name of the file is "installer" Go into the directory the file was downloaded to (Example: cd /home/username/Downloads).

sudo php installer --install-dir=/bin --filename=composer

Composer Dependencies

Go into your gcconnex directory. (Example: cd /home/username/gcconnex)

composer install

Create data directory

Create a data directory, not in the gcconnex directory!

mkdir gcconnex_data

Example Location: /home/username/gcconnex_data

Set permissions

chmod 777 gcconnex
chmod 777 gcconnex/engine
chmod 700 gcconnex_data
sudo chown www-data:www-data gcconnex_data

Create link to gcconnex in /var/www/html folder

cd /var/www/html/
sudo ln -s /EXAMPLE/PATH/TO/gcconnex gcconnex

Create a database and a user for the database

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE gcconnexdb;
GRANT ALL ON gcconnexdb.* TO gcconnex@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
QUIT;

Choose a better password

Enable mod_rewrite in Apache

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Add the following inside the <VirtualHost *:80></VirtualHost> tag

<Directory /var/www/html/gcconnex>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  allow from all
</Directory>

Save and close (Ctrl-o then Ctrl-x if you are using nano)

sudo service apache2 restart

Install Elgg

Goto http://localhost/gcconnex. Follow instructions. You will need to enter the database information and the path to the data folder.

Reset permissions

chmod 775 gcconnex
chmod 775 gcconnex/engine

Configure Plugins

The final step to getting the GCconnex experience is to reorder and enable/disable plugins in the Administration section of your installation.

A quick way to sort and activate plugins in the correct order is to activate the "Plugin Loader" plugin. Do this by going into Configure-> Plugins -> ctrl+f Plugin Loader -> Activate Then go to Configure->Utilities->Plugin Loader menu and click on the Import button.

The plugin_config file has friend_request as enabled, but for an unknown reason does not activate it properly. So go into Configure -> Plugins and ctrl+f for Friend Request and activate Friend request 4.0
