|* Overview *|
--------------
ProcessMaker is an open source, workflow management software suite, which
includes tools to automate your workflow, design forms, create documents, assign
roles and users, create routing rules, and map an individual process quickly and
easily. It's relatively lightweight and doesn't require any kind of installation
on the client computer. This file describes the requirements and installation
steps for the server.

|* Requirements for Server *|
-----------------------------
ProcessMaker 2.0 and later requires:
* Linux or UNIX or Windows (XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003, Server 2008)
* MySQL 5.1.6 or greater
* Apache 2.2.3 or greater, with the following modules:
* Deflate
* Expires
* Rewrite
* Vhost_alias
* PHP 5.1.6 or greater with the following libraries:
* mysql
* xml
* mbstring
* mcrypt
* soap (necessary if using web services)
* ldap (necessary if integrating with LDAP or Active Directory)
* gd (recommended if using Events)
* curl (necessary for uploading/downloading files)
* Also install PHP's command line interface (CLI) if planning on using Events,
the Case Scheduler, workspace backup/restore, or developing plugins with the
Gulliver Framework.
------------------------------
|* Requirements for Clients *|
------------------------------
Mozilla FireFox (recommended)
or
Internet Explorer 7 or later
-----------------------
|* PHP Configuration *|
-----------------------
In the PHP configuration file (php.ini), set the following settings:
memory_limit = 120M
file_uploads = On
short_open_tag = On
The memory_limit may be a minimum of 80MB, but it is recommended to set it to
120MB. If planning on uploading large Input Documents and attached files, then
increase the max_post_size and upload_max_filesize to larger than the default
2MB:
max_post_size = 2M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
After editing the "php.ini" file, restart the Apache server for the new
configuration to take effect.
-------------------------
|* MySQL Configuration *|
-------------------------
The MySQL "root" user should already have all the necessary privileges to setup
the ProcessMaker databases. If planning on using a MySQL user other than "root"
to set up the ProcessMaker databases, grant a MySQL user superuser privileges
to create and update databases.
Login to MySQL:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password for MySQL.
Once in MySQL, give the user which will be running ProcessMaker superuser
privileges to create create and modify MySQL databases:
mysql> grant all on *.* to 'USER'@'localhost' identified by 'PASSWORD' with grant option;
Replace USER with the name of your MySQL user and PASSWORD with the password
for that user. (If that user doesn't already exist, he/she will be
automatically created with the above grant command. If you are running
ProcessMaker on a different server than your MySQL server, then replace
localhost with the domain name or IP address of the server where ProcessMaker
is located.
Exit MySQL:
mysql> exit;
If you have forgotten the root password, see these instructions to reset it:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/resetting-permissions.html
If unable to log into MySQL because there is no socket, then MySQL needs to be
started as a service.
-------------------------------
|* ProcessMaker Installation *|
-------------------------------
1. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/processmaker/files and download a
recent tarball of ProcessMaker, which should be named "processmaker-2.X-X.tar.gz"
The versions are numbered according to the pattern MAJOR.MINOR-REVISION, such
as "2.0-8". Beta versions will have the word "beta" appended to the version
number.
2. Move the "processmaker-X.X-X.tar.gz" file which was downloaded to the
directory in your server where the ProcessMaker application will be stored.
ProcessMaker can be installed in any directory which is not publicly
accessible to the internet (so do NOT install it in "/var/www" in Linux/UNIX).
In Linux/UNIX, it is generally installed in the "/opt" directory, since it is an
optional program which doesn't come from the standard repositories.
In Windows XP and Server 2003, it is generally installed in the
"C:\Program Files" directory.
In Windows Vista, 7, and Server 2008, it is generally installed in the local
directory of a user, such as "C:/Users/X/processmaker", due to the new security
restrictions which do not allow Apache to write to the C:/Program Files
directory.
3. The code files are in .tar.gz format and can be extracted using most
compression tools, like the "tar" command in Linux/UNIX or WinRAR or 7-Zip in
Windows.
Linux/UNIX:
tar -xvzf processmaker-X.X-X.tar.gz /opt/
MS Windows:
Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the file processmaker-X.X-X.tar.gz
This will create a new "processmaker" directory, containing all the ProcessMaker
files and directories, which should have the following contents:
gulliver processmaker rbac shared
LICENSE.txt processmaker.bat README.txt workflow
4. Then, make the following subdirectories writable to the user running Apache:
Linux/UNIX:
Issue the following commands:
chmod 770 /opt/processmaker/shared
cd /opt/processmaker/workflow/engine/
chmod 770 config content/languages plugins xmlform js/labels
Then change the owner of the ProcessMaker files to Apache:
chown -R apache-user:apache-user /opt/processmaker
Replace "apache-user", with the user running Apache in your distribution.
In RedHat/CentOS/Fedora:
chown -R apache:apache /opt/processmaker
In Debian/Ubuntu:
chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/processmaker
In SUSE/OpenSUSE:
chown -R chown wwwrun:www -R /opt/processmaker
MS Windows:
Make the following subdirectories writable:
<INSTALL-DIRECTORY>\processmaker\shared
<INSTALL-DIRECTORY>\processmaker\workflow\engine\config
<INSTALL-DIRECTORY>\processmaker\workflow\engine\content\languages
<INSTALL-DIRECTORY>\processmaker\workflow\engine\plugins
<INSTALL-DIRECTORY>\processmaker\workflow\engine\xmlform
<INSTALL-DIRECTORY>\processmaker\workflow\engine\js\labels
--------------------------
|* Apache Configuration *|
--------------------------
1. Edit the file "<INSTALL-DIRECTORY>/processmaker/etc/pmos.conf" with a plain
text editor (such as Notepad or Notepad++ in Windows or vim, nano or gedit in
Linux/UNIX).
Modify the following virtual host definition to match your environment:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Please change the IP address with your server's IP address and
# the ServerName with you own subdomain for ProcessMaker.
NameVirtualHost your_ip_address
#processmaker virtual host
<VirtualHost your_ip_address >
ServerName "your_processmaker_domain"
DocumentRoot /opt/processmaker/workflow/public_html
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
<Directory "/opt/processmaker/workflow/public_html">
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
AllowOverRide none
Options FollowSymlinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^.*/(.*)$ sysGeneric.php [NC,L]
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 day"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 day"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 day"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 day"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 day"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 day"
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace "your_ip_address" with the IP number or domain name of the server
running ProcessMaker. If only planning on running and accessing ProcessMaker on
your local machine, then use the IP address "127.0.0.1". If using ProcessMaker
on a machine whose IP address might change (such as a machine whose IP address
is assigned with DHCP), then use "*", which represents any IP address. If not
using the standard port 80, then it is necessary to also specify the port
number.
If your DNS or "hosts" file has a defined domain for ProcessMaker, then use
that domain for "your_processmaker_domain". Otherwise, use the same IP address
for "your_processmaker_domain" as was used for "your_ip_address".
If ProcessMaker is installed in a location other than "/opt/processmaker", then
edit the paths to match where Processmaker is installed on your system.
For example, if running ProcessMaker on a Windows XP server at address
192.168.1.100 on port 8080 with a domain at processmaker.mycompany.com:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.100:8080
#processmaker virtual host
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100:8080 >
ServerName "processmaker.mycompany.com"
DocumentRoot C:\Program Files\processmaker\workflow\public_html
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
<Directory "C:\Program Files\processmaker\workflow\public_html">
...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, if running ProcessMaker on a Linux server at address
server1.example.com with a domain at pm.example.com:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameVirtualHost server1.example.com
#processmaker virtual host
<VirtualHost server1.example.com >
ServerName "pm.example.com"
DocumentRoot /opt/processmaker/workflow/public_html
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
<Directory "/opt/processmaker/workflow/public_html">
...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, if ProcessMaker is installed in the "/home/fred" directory on your
local machine at port 8080 with an dynamic IP assigned by DHCP:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameVirtualHost *:8080
#processmaker virtual host
<VirtualHost *:8080 >
ServerName "*"
DocumentRoot /home/fred/processmaker/workflow/public_html
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
<Directory "/home/fred/processmaker/workflow/public_html">
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: It is also possible to define the virtual host for ProcessMaker directly
in the Apache configuration by inserting the above VirtualHost definition in
the Apache configuration file, which is generally named "httpd.conf".
Then, copy the "pmos.conf" file to the following directory, where it will
automatically be loaded by the Apache web server:
Generic Linux/UNIX:
/etc/httpd/conf.d/pmos.conf
Debian/Ubuntu:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/
Then issue the command to enable the site:
a2ensite pmos.conf
WINDOWS:
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\conf\extra\pmos.conf
If using Windows, add the following line to the "httpd.conf" file, so that the
ProcessMaker virtual configuration can proceed:
Include "C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\conf\extra\pmos.conf"
Note: If Apache is using the default port 80, then configure Skype and other
programs to not use port 80. You can check whether a program is currently
listening on port 80 with netstat -anb in Windows or netstat -tanp in
Linux/UNIX.
5. Finally restart the Apache service (or reboot) to make the new ProcessMaker
site available
--------------------------------
|* ProcessMaker Configuration *|
--------------------------------
1. Open your web browser and direct it to the IP address (and port) or domain
name where ProcessMaker is installed:
http://IP-ADDRESS
For example, if installed on the local machine at port 8080, then use:
http://localhost:8080
The web browser should be redirected to the address:
http://IP-ADDRESS/sys/en/classic/login
2. The installation configuration page should appear to setup ProcessMaker.
(If the default Apache page appears, then disable it and restart Apache.)
In the configuration page, enter in the username and password to access MySQL.
Click on the '''Test''' button to verify that ProcessMaker is configured
properly. Green checkmarks will indicate that the settings work correctly.
To change a setting after clicking "Test", click on "Reset". To change the
default administrator username and password, select the option in the
"ProcessMaker Configuration" section. Once all the settings are properly
configured click on "Install" to install processmaker. The installation screen
should indicate "SUCCESS".
Click on "Finish Installation", to redirect to the ProcessMaker login screen. If
an error arises, feel free to ask in the ProcessMaker forum at:
http://forum.processmaker.com
At the login screen, enter the Username of "admin" and the Password of "admin"
and the Workspace name, which by default is "workflow".
Once logged in as the administrator, new users and processes can be created
inside ProcessMaker. To login with a different workspace, language or skin, see:
http://wiki.processmaker.com/index.php/Login
If the ProcessMaker configuration screen appears the next time you try to login,
press CTRL+F5 to clear your web browser's cache.
Note: It is a good idea to reset the administrator's password to something
more secure in the future before using ProcessMaker in production.
