GLPI is the Information Resource-Manager with an additional Administration- Interface. You can use it to build up a database with an inventory for your company (computer, software, printers...). It has enhanced functions to make the daily life for the administrators easier, like a job-tracking-system with mail-notification and methods to build a database with basic information about your network-topology.

GLPI is the Information Resource-Manager with an additional Administration- Interface. You can use it to build up a database with an inventory for your company (computer, software, printers...). It has enhanced functions to make the daily life for the administrators easier, like a job-tracking-system with mail-notification and methods to build a database with basic information about your network-topology.

The principal functionalities of the application are :

1) the precise inventory of all the technical resources. All their characteristics will be stored in a database. 2) management and the history of the maintenance actions and the bound procedures. This application is dynamic and is directly connected to the users who can post requests to the technicians. An interface thus authorizes the latter with if required preventing the service of maintenance and indexing a problem encountered with one of the technical resources to which they have access.

Install lighttpd, PHP, and MySql

Basic Installation

For installing the additional packages first activate community packages and update the package index

Install the required packages:

# apk add lighttpd php82 fcgi php82-cgi

Configure Lighttpd

Edit lighttpd.conf (/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf) and uncomment the line:

Contents of /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

... include "mod_fastcgi.conf" ...

Edit mod_fastcgi.conf (/etc/lighttpd/mod_fastcgi.conf), find and change /usr/bin/php-cgi to /usr/bin/php-cgi82.

Contents of /etc/lighttpd/mod_fastcgi.conf

... "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi82" # php-cgi ...

Start lighttpd service and add it to default runlevel

# rc-service lighttpd start # rc-update add lighttpd default

Install Mysql server packages

apk add mysql mysql-client php5-mysql php5-mysqli

Configuring MySql

/usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
rc-service mariadb start && rc-update add mariadb default
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'password'

Create the GLPI database

Note: you can create the database from command line or from the GLPI web page later.

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE glpi; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON glpi.* TO "root"; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT

Installing GLPI

Create a folder named webapps

mkdir -p /usr/share/webapps/

Download the source code archive

cd /usr/share/webapps/ wget https://fossies.org/linux/misc/glpi-10.0.9.tgz/

Unpack and delete tar file

tar zxvf glpi-10.0.9.tgz rm glpi-10.0.9.tgz

Change the folder permissions

chmod -R 777 /usr/share/webapps/glpi/

Create a symlink to the glpi folder

ln -s /usr/share/webapps/glpi/ /var/www/localhost/htdocs/glpi

Configuring GLPI

Browse to: http://WEBSERVER_IP_ADDRESS/glpi and install GLPI by completing the information as appropriate from the web browser.

GLPI Installation steps:

Note: After select each option, pres "Ok" or "Continue" button.
