Evergreen is a powerful and open-source Integrated Library System (ILS) in use by many public (and private) libraries.
This example puts all Evergreen services on one server which needs 2G RAM minimum. Larger Evergreen deployments will need to run on multiple servers.
Installing the Prerequesities
Evergreen will require PostgreSQL database, Apache web-server and OpenSRF.
The required versions of these packages will vary depending on the version of Evergreen ILS being installed.
Run these commands as root (indicated by ~ #)
System Packages
Ensure that you have ithreads enabled for perl, use perl-cleaner if necessasry. The PostgreSQL server environment for Evergreen depends on a number of Perl modules, so those must be installed as well.

After installing, edit the config file to set PG_INITDB_OPTS as follows:
PG_INITDB_OPTS="--locale=en_US.UTF-8"
Then, execute emerge --config to configure the PostgreSQL cluster.
~ # emerge --config =dev-db/postgresql-server-9.0.3 eselect rc add postgresql-9.0 default
Apache, Memcache, eJabberd & Perl Modules
OpenSRF needs the following: eJabberd, rpmforge? autoconf-2.65, libtool-2.2.6b, automake-1.11, libmemcached, libxslt-1.1.22, libxml2-2.6.30, apache-prefork, psmisc, On Praxis/Gentoo system the autoconf, libtool, automake, libxml2 and libxslt2 should already be installed. See how-to on installing ejabberd.

Configure services to start on boot.
~ # eselect rc add memcached default ~ # eselect rc add ejabberd default ~ # eselect rc add apache2 default
Configuring Memcached
The defaults will mostly work out of the box, configure in /etc/conf.d/memcached.
LISTENON="127.0.0.1"
Configure memcached to start on boot
~ # rc-config add memcached default
Configuring eJabberd
Update /etc/jabber/ejabberd.cfg with at least the following:
{hosts, ["localhost", "private.localhost", "public.localhost"]}.
{access, max_user_sessions, [{10000, all}]}.
{acl, admin, {user,"ejabberd","localhost"}}.
Add the OpenSRF users, be careful to not use exotic characters in the Jabber password, they are not handled well by all the scripts/tools.
ejabberdctl register router private.localhost [password] ejabberdctl register opensrf private.localhost [password] ejabberdctl register router public.localhost [password] ejabberdctl register opensrf public.localhost [password]
Installing Evergreen ILS / Open ILS
Download and extract as opensrf user, then configure and make. Install as root.
~ # cd /usr/src
. # wget http://open-ils.org/downloads/Evergreen-ILS-2.1.0a.tar.gz
. # tar -zxf Evergreen-ILS-2.0.6.tar.gz
. # chown -R opensrf:opensrf Evergreen-ILS-2.0.6
. $ su opensrf
. $ cd ./Evergreen-ILS-2.0.6
. $ ./autogen.sh
. $ ./configure \
--prefix=/openils \
--with-apache \
--with-apr=/usr/include/apr-1.0 \
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs2 \
--with-libxml2=/usr/include/libxml2 \
--with-opensrf-headers=/openils/include \
--with-opensrf-libs=/openils/lib
. $ make
. $ exit
. # make install
Note that if you use the --enable-python option your DNS will have to work properly or you may see some name resolution falures from the Python libs. Unsure if you need the python? You don't.

Configuring Evergreen ILS
# cd /opt/openils/etc # mv oils_web.xml.example oils_web.xml # mv opensrf.xml.example opensrf.xml # cd /usr/src/Evergreen-ILS-2.1.0a # cp Open-ILS/examples/apache/eg.conf /etc/apache2/vhosts.d # cp Open-ILS/examples/apache/eg_vhost.conf /etc/apache2/ # cp Open-ILS/examples/apache/startup.pl /etc/apache2/
May need to edit some lines in the httpd.conf file that are updated by the previous installers. Generally the Evergreen application is the only web-application running in this environment.
May need to adjust the settings in /etc/conf.d/apache2 APACHE2_OPTS="-D SSL -D PERL"
Running Evergreen ILS Services
The "server" part of Evergreen is actually multiple components, the XMPP services, memcache, database and web-services. Start them all, and configure to run at default.
NB: a production Evergreen environment generally has these services on different physical hardware.
/etc/init.d/ejabberd restart /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.0 restart
Initialise
We use evergreen-su for the database super user and evergreen-aa for the application administrator.
# su postgres $ createuser --pwprompt --superuser evergreen-su $ exit
# cd /usr/src/Evergreen-ILS-2.1.0a
# perl Open-ILS/src/support-scripts/eg_db_config.pl --update-config \
--service all --create-database --create-schema --create-offline \
--user evergreen-su --password evergreen-su --hostname localhost --port 5432 \
--database openils --admin-user evergreen-aa --admin-pass evergreen-aa
Watch this script for errors! There will be many lines of output, some notices (CONTEXT:).
Loading Sample Data
Evergreen comes with a set of sample data called concerto, it can be loaded like this.
psql -U evergreen -h hostname -f Open-ILS/tests/datasets/concerto.sql psql -U evergreen -h hostname -f Open-ILS/tests/datasets/users_patrons_100.sql psql -U evergreen -h hostname -f Open-ILS/tests/datasets/users_staff_134.sql
Many scripts won't have the paths properly set. Will need to check/update paths in etc/oils_web.xml, bin/action_trigger_runner.pl, bin/offline-blocked-list.pl, site_perl/OpenILS/Cronscript.pm, eg_vhost.conf, eg.conf, startup.pl
Start the OpenSRF system (ensure that PATH includes /opt/open-ils/bin), run autogen.sh the first time.
# su - opensrf $ cat .bashrc PATH="/opt/open-ils/bin:$PATH" $ /opt/open-ils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -l -a start_all $ autogen.sh -u $ exit # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Testing the Configuration
This script will look for things in /openils, many scripts do.
# su - opensrf # /usr/src/Evergreen-ILS-2.1.0a/Open-ILS/src/support-scripts/settings-tester.pl
