Step 4: Installing OWL

Please download OWL from the URL mentioned above. I downloaded the Version 0.8.1.
Please unzip it and copy the directory /intranet in your Webserver root directory like this:

su
cd /home/user
tar xzf Owl-0.81.tar.gz
cp –R intranet/ /srv/www/htdocs
cd /srv/www/htdocs/intranet
chown nobody:nobody *

Next we have to adapt the owl configuration file located in /srv/www/htdocs/intranet/config

Please open owl.php in your favorite editor and change the following lines to you needs like this:

$default->owl_fs_root           = "/srv/www/htdocs/intranet ";
$default->owl_db_id[0]           = "0";
$default->owl_db_user[0]           = "owl";
$default->owl_db_pass[0]           = "mypassword";
$default->owl_db_host[0]           = "172.16.2.5";
$default->owl_db_name[0]           = "owl";
$default->owl_db_display_name[0]   = "Intranet";
$default->owl_db_FileDir[0]           = “/srv/www/htdocs/intranet";

Note: Please use your password and your host IP address.
