In order to allow esrender to cache some objects (e.g. converted video- and image-files) you have to provide an cache-directory.
Create cache-directory
# mkdir /var/lib/esrender
Setup file-owner
# chown httpd_user:httpd_group /var/lib/esrender
Setup write premissions
# chmod 0750 /var/lib/esrender
Prepare filesystem for log-files
Create log-file directory
# mkdir /var/log/esrender
Setup file-owner
# chown httpd_user:httpd_group /var/log/esrender
Setup write premissions
# chmod 0750 /var/log/esrender
In order to use the render-service you have to provide access to a relational database. Currently supported RDBM-systems are MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Please continue installation by preparing your database-system.
# cd /your/esrender/install/dir
# tar xvfz /path/to/download/of/esrender-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
Set file-owner for webserver
# chown -R httpd_user:httpd_group /your/esrender/install/dir
# chmod -R +w /your/esrender/install/dir
The end
Remove install directory to mark installation finished.
# rm -rf /your/esrender/install/dir/install
For security we'll mark the esrender-directory read-only.
# chmod -R -w /your/esrender/install/dir
But we have to keep the data-dir writeable.
# chmod -R +w /your/esrender/data/dir
