       sudo service apache2 restart
   

   • The following virtual host snippet in your apache config, replace %*% with your values and modify to your needs.

       <VirtualHost *:443>

            ServerName %your.server.fqdn%
   
            ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

            SSLEngine on
                SSLCipherSuite !ADH:!DSS:!RC4:HIGH:+3DES:+RC4
                SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
                SSLCertificateFile %certificate_location%
                SSLCertificateKeyFile %key_location%
                SSLCertificateChainFile %cert_chain_location%
   
            <Directory %/your_install_dir%>

            </Directory>
   
            # WSPROXY CONF
            ProxyRequests Off
            ProxyPreserveHost On
            <Proxy *>
                    Order deny,allow
                    Allow from all
            </Proxy>
            ProxyPass /socket.io/1/websocket/ ws://localhost:8080/socket.io/1/websocket/
            ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/1/websocket/ ws://localhost:8080/socket.io/1/websocket
            ProxyPass /socket.io/ http://localhost:8080/socket.io/
            ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/ http://localhost:8080/socket.io/
            <Location /socket.io>
                    Order allow,deny
                    Allow from all
            </Location>
       </VirtualHost>
   

   Note: Using plain http is not recommended.

2. Node.js installed along with the socket.io library

   For a Debian distro:

       sudo apt-get update
       sudo apt-get install nodejs && apt-get install npm
       cd %/your_install_dir%
       sudo npm install
   

1. Clone your chosen WallacePOS release to %your_install_dir% if you haven't done so already.

2. Configure the database by copying %your_install_dir%/library/wpos/dbconfig_template.php to %your_install_dir%/library/wpos/dbconfig.php and fill in your own values.

3. Install the database schema & templates:

   1. Enable the /library/installer/index.php file by removing the die(); command at the start
   2. Access library/installer/?install from the web browser to install the database schema

   OR

   1. Manually install the database schema at %your_install_dir%/library/installer/schemas/install.sql using your favoured sql management method.
   2. Copy docs-template folder to docs, make sure it is writable by your apache user (eg. www-data)

4. Login to the admin dashboard at /admin using credentials admin:admin, from the menu go to Settings -> Utilities and click the Start button under Feed Server

5. Change default passwords in Settings -> Staff & Admins!

To deploy WallacePOS on dokku:

1. Install dokku-buildpack-multi on your dokku host

2. Fork the WallacePOS to a PRIVATE repo (IMPORTANT), copy /library/wpos/dbconfig_template.php to dbconfig.php and fill in your own values

   OR

   Use my dokku mysql plugin to create and link the database automagically

3. Deploy in the usual manner.

4. Login to the admin dashboard at /admin using credentials admin:admin & change the default passwords in Settings -> Staff & Admins!
