DVA-Profession setup notes

[peter_b]

Here are some notes, missing in the DVA-Profession installation:

1) PHP config file:
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Set memory limit:

Code: Select all

memory_limit = 256M

For installation, set the logging to stdout:

Code: Select all

display_errors = On

2) Client Samba share:
/etc/fstab

Code: Select all

//CLIENT_COMPUTERNAME/DVA-Profession /mnt/video_clients/CLIENT_COMPUTERNAME  cifs  noauto,user,uid=www-data,gid=dva-profession,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775,nounix,noserverino,credentials=/etc/samba/credentials/user_ingest

Credentials file:

Code: Select all

username=your_username
password=your_password

3) Code changes:

• SCREEN_SESSION: Replace "mediathek_" with "dva_" to be compatible with new task_trigger startup.
• Check existence of required executables (ffmpeg, mencoder, etc)
• Check if required PHP modules are installed (php5-tidy, php5-ffmpeg)

The above notes are mostly outdated.
Newer DVA-Profession installs are done using preconfigured VirtualMachine images.

Nevertheless, here are some more recent notes:

• After first boot: Change the hostname
• With existing setups, it's possible to use "create_thin_copy" to spawn new Nexus instances off existing "/opt/dva-profession/workflow" configuration, by using rsync (over SSH) as transfer protocol. This can be done even while the source Nexus is in use.
