Simulation Manager

Install Debian

Debian Packages

apache2 mysql-server php5-mysql php-pear graphviz

Create Database

SQL> CREATE DATABASE 'evogrid';

SQL> CREATE USER 'evogrid'@'localhost';

SQL> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE ON `evogrid`.* TO `evogrid`@`localhost`;

mysql -u root -p evogrid < evogrid.sample.sql

Create Storage

mkdir /home/evogrid/history /home/evogrid/initial_state /home/evogrid/statistics

chmod 777 /home/evogrid/history /home/evogrid/initial_state /home/evogrid/statistics

PHP Dependencies for make_tree.php

pear install image_graphviz

Network configuration

The Simulation Manager needs to be reliably addressable. In the Alpha 10-01 release, this is done by specifying a static IP address.

 iface eht0 inet static
     address 192.168.230.2
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     network 192.168.230.0
     broadcast 192.168.230.255

If you already have a static or reliable address, changing /etc/evogrid.conf on the accessing machines will suffice. There is no other requirements on the network configuration.
