Installation

##Installation The following text contains a short installation guide and a few tips.

Linux

• Go to your ILIAS installation directory:

cd ${ILIAS_DIR}

• Create the plugin directory-structure as required by ILIAS:

mkdir -p Customizing/global/plugins/Services/UIComponent/UserInterfaceHook/REST

• Change into the newly created directory tree:

cd Customizing/global/plugins/Services/UIComponent/UserInterfaceHook/REST

• Download and extract the latest Releases into this directory.

wget https://github.com/hrz-unimr/Ilias.RESTPlugin/archive/${RELEASE_VERSION}.zip
unzip ${RELEASE_VERSION}.zip
rm ${RELEASE_VERSION}.zip

• Make sure this directory is readable by the webserver (eg. owned by www-data)

chown -R www-data:www-data .

• [Optional] Create a writeable log-file for the RESTPlugin:

touch ${ILIAS_LOG_DIR}/restplugin-${ILIAS_CLIENT}.log
chmod 644 ${ILIAS_LOG_DIR}/restplugin-${ILIAS_CLIENT}.log
chown www-data:www-data ${ILIAS_LOG_DIR}/restplugin-${ILIAS_CLIENT}.log

• Update the database and activate the plugin by logging into ILIAS and navigating to:
  • Administration > Plugins > REST (Actions) > Update
  • Administration > Plugins > REST (Actions) > Activate

###Subdomain URL:

• Needs to be updated after refactoring changes

###Notes

• The variables ${ILIAS_DIR} and ${ILIAS_LOG_DIR} should point to your ILIAS installation directory (eg. /var/www/ilias) and the external logging directory set during ILIAS installation (eg. /var/log/ilias) respectively, while ${ILIAS_CLIENT} is the name of the/all ILIAS client(s) using the RESTPlugin.
• On a unix-like operating-systems make sure the ILIAS and the plugin directory is readable and the log-file is writeable by the webserver, eg.:

  chown -R www-data:www-data ${ILIAS_DIR}/
  chmod -R 755 ${ILIAS_LOG_DIR}/
