This is the source code for the London Hackspace web site

(It used to also support http://hackspace.org.uk, but this is now just MediaWiki)

Packages needed

php5 sqlite php5-sqlite php5-curl php-apc sqlite3 ruby-sqlite3 ruby-erubis rubygems ruby-hpricot ruby-mail

Setting up Apache

Make sure you have mod_rewrite and expires enabled. (a2enmod rewrite, a2enmod expires)

You'll need to include the /apache-config file in your apache host config. Example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
...
Include /path/to/root/dir/apache-config
</VirtualHost>

Create config file

cp etc/config.php.example etc/config.php

Fetch libraries

git submodule update --init

session dir

cd /var/www/hackspace-foundation-sites/var
chown www-data:www-data session

Creating the DB

You can create the database from the schema located in ./etc:

sqlite3 ./var/database.db < ./etc/schema.sql
cd var
chown www-data:adm database.db ; chmod 0660 database.db

Note that SQLite needs write access to the directory containing the .db file to do its journaling:

chgrp www-data ./var
chmod 0775 ./var

Now create an accout on the site ("Join"), and then:

cd /var/www/hackspace-foundation-sites/var/
sqlite3 database.db
sqlite> update users set subscribed=1;
sqlite> update users set admin=1;

to make yourself a member and an admin

letting apache add ldap users (!)

use visudo to add this:

www-data ALL=(www-data:ldapadmin) NOPASSWD:NOSETENV: /var/www/hackspace-foundation-sites/bin/ldap-add.sh, /var/www/hackspace-foundation-sites/bin/ldap-delete.sh

and then:

groupadd ldapadmin
chgrp ldapadmin /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf
chmod 0640 /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf

Configuring MediaWiki users panel

Create a file in ./var/mediawiki.php with the $type, $server, $username, $password, $database, and $path variables set (where $type is a string describing the database type, and $path is a complete path including trailing slash to the MediaWiki instance).

Enabling Calendar management

1. Enable the Calendar API at https://console.developers.google.com/.../apiui/api
2. Create a service account for OAuth at https://console.developers.google.com/.../apiui/credential
3. Put the OAuth certificate in ./var, and correct the service_account_name and key_file_location in lib/calendar.php
4. Go to the Hackspace calendar on Google and share it with the same service_account_name address
