GLPI for debian
===============

Installation
------------

Note that glpi uses automatic configuration through dbconfig-common.
however, you have to give the database parameters during the first
configuration of glpi.

Go to http://$yourhost/glpi/, and follow the on-screen directions.
the default administrator login is glpi/glpi. once the configuration
is over, you should change the password.

Upgrade
-------

Due to some complexity in the database upgrade (and the fact that upgrade
commands involve modifications of the data), the upgrade of the database
is not handled by dbcofnig-common, but using the upstream PHP scripts.

After upgrading the Debian package, go to http://$yourhost/glpi/, and follow
the on-screen directions (you must be logged in as GLPI administrator).

PHP memory
----------

glpi can use lot of memory, and the default value (8 MB) is not big enough.
edit or create your php.ini file (for ex. in /etc/php4/apache2/php.ini) and
set a higher limit (16 MB or more)::

 memory_limit = 16M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume

phpCAS
------

The embedded copy of phpCAS is not installed, both for maintenance,
license, and security reasons (See #495542, #505983 and #662944).

If you want to use phpCAS, download it from:

https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASC/phpCAS

and install it to the `/usr/share/glpi/lib/` directory.
