Update a RADIUSdesk install on Ubuntu 16.04

  • We assume you have an existing install on Ubuntu 16.04 which you want to update.

Be carefull when updating production systems since the RADIUSdesk code is under constant development very new bits of code might still have bugs which can break things.

Install the CakePHP v3 application

This is a once-off action

  • Make sure the following packages are installed:
sudo apt-get install php-cli php-gd php-curl php-xml php-mbstring php-intl
  • Check out the cake3 branch from trunk to /usr/share/nginx/html.
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/
sudo svn checkout svn://dvdwalt@svn.code.sf.net/p/radiusdesk/code/trunk/cake3 ./cake3
  • Change the following directories to be writable by www-data:
sudo chown -R www-data. /usr/share/nginx/html/cake3/rd_cake/tmp
sudo chown -R www-data. /usr/share/nginx/html/cake3/rd_cake/logs

Check the Nginx config

This is a once-off action

  • Since we are running both CakePHP v2 and CakePHP v3 simultaneously, you will need to update the Nginx config.
  • Edit the /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file:
sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
  • Look for the following bit and be sure the location line matches this:
location ~ ^/cake2/.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|js|css)$ {
    rewrite ^/cake2/rd_cake/webroot/(.*)$ /cake2/rd_cake/webroot/$1 break;
    rewrite ^/cake2/rd_cake/(.*)$ /cake2/rd_cake/webroot/$1 break;
    access_log off;
    expires max;
    add_header Cache-Control public;
}  
  • Add the next bit for the CakePHP v3 application
location /cake3/rd_cake {
   rewrite ^/cake3/rd_cake(.+)$ /cake3/rd_cake/webroot$1 break;
   try_files $uri $uri/ /cake3/rd_cake/index.php$is_args$args;
}
  • Reload the Nginx web server
sudo systemctl reload nginx.service

Update the code

  • Run the following commands to fetch the latest code
#CakePHP v2 Application
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/cake2/rd_cake
sudo svn update
#CakePHP v3 Application
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/cake3
sudo svn update
#Viever
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/rd
sudo svn update
#Login Pages
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/rd_login
sudo svn update
