The following steps explain how to setup Lx-Office ERP using a local Postgresql
server for user authentication and data storage. For less common settings
(e.g. using a remote Postgresql server or using LDAP for authentication) please
read INSTALL.txt file in /usr/share/doc/${PN}-${PVR})

1. Add to following lines to /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf:

listen_addresses = 'localhost'
default_with_oids = on

2. In /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf, make sure only password authenticated
access is allowed for databases 'lxerp_auth' and 'lxerp':

local   all         lxerp_auth                        password
host    all         lxerp_auth    127.0.0.1/32        password
host    all         lxerp_auth    ::1/128             password
local   all         lxerp                             password
host    all         lxerp         127.0.0.1/32        password
host    all         lxerp         ::1/128             password

3. Create database user 'lxoffice' (which will only be used by Lx-Office itself):

# su - postgres
$ createuser -d -P -a -e lxoffice

(Note: This creates a new superuser. If you want to use a less powerful user
with Lx-Office, please read the documentation.)

4. Add the following configuration settings to your apache config:

AddHandler cgi-script .pl
Alias /lx-erp/ ${VHOST_ROOT}/${VHOST_APPDIR}/
<Directory ${VHOST_ROOT}/${VHOST_APPDIR}>
        Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
<Directory ${VHOST_ROOT}/${VHOST_APPDIR}/users>
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from All
</Directory>

5. In ${VHOST_ROOT}/htdocs/${VHOST_APPDIR}/config/authentication.pl, set a password
for the Lx-Office administrator and configure the database connection settings:

$self->{admin_password} = 'myadminpassword'

$self->{DB_config} = {
  'host'     => 'localhost',
  'port'     => 5432,
  'db'       => 'lxerp_auth',
  'user'     => 'lxoffice',
  'password' => 'the password you entered in step 3.',
};

6. Reload Apache and restart Postgresql:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
# /etc/init.d/postgresql restart

7. Create required databases, tables and a user:

1) Open http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}/admin.pl in a browser
2) Log in using the Lx-Office admin password you defined in authentication.pl
   in step 5.
3) Follow the instructions (i.e. click on "Datenbank anlegen"
   and on "Tabellen anlegen")
4) Click on "Datenbankadministration"
4.1) Click on "Datenbank anlegen"
4.2) In field "Datenbank anlegen" enter: lxerp
4.3) Select a 'Kontenplan' in drop-down menu "Kontenplan anlegen"
4.4) Click on "Weiter", and if successful, on "Weiter" again
5) (Optional) Click on "Datenbankadministration"
5.1) (Optional) Click on "Datenbank aktualisieren"
6) (Optional) Create a new group by clicking on "Gruppen bearbeiten"
7) Click on "Benutzer erfassen"
7.1) In field "Datenbank" enter: lxerp
7.2) In field "Benutzer" enter: lxoffice
7.3) In field "Passwort" enter: (the password you entered in step 3.)
7.4) Enter the rest of the user properties
7.5) Click on "Speichern" to create the specified user
7.6) Don't mind if there's an error message, just browse to the admin
     page again at http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}/admin.pl
8) Click on "Gruppen bearbeiten" and add the user you created to the group
   you (optionally) created in step 6) or to the group "Vollzugriff".
   In order to do this, select the group in the list and click on
   "Bearbeiten". In the next screen, select the user in the list and
   click on "Zu Gruppe hinzufuegen". Then click on "Zurueck" (2x).

8. Congrats! You may now start using Lx-Office! Just browse to

http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}/login.pl

and log in as the user you created in step 7)
