Installing Omeka

Setup of Omeka VM

Setup of VM based on Ubuntu 1404 VM

1. copying basicubuntu1404.vdi file and renaming to omeka_ubuntu.vdi
2. creating the omeka VM on CedeusDB (ip.18):
   • VBoxManage createvm --name omeka --ostype Ubuntu_64 --register
   • VBoxManage modifyvm omeka --memory 8096
   • VBoxManage modifyvm omeka --cpus 4
   • VBoxManage modifyvm omeka --nic1 nat
   • VBoxManage storagectl omeka --name "SATA Controller" --add sata --controller IntelAhci
   • VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid omeka_ubuntu.vdi
   • VBoxManage storageattach "omeka" --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium omeka_ubuntu.vdi
   • VBoxManage storagectl omeka --name "IDE Controller" --add ide --controller PIIX4
   • VBoxManage modifyvm omeka --natpf1 "ssh,tcp,,20022,,22"
   • VBoxManage modifyvm omeka --natpf1 "apache,tcp,,20080,,80"
   • VBoxManage modifyvm omeka --vrdeport 7764
3. start VM and change the computers name:
   • VBoxHeadless -s omeka --vrde on &
   • change computers name in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname to omeka
   • restarting Apache gives the error message: "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 ..."

   => solve this by adding ServerName nominatim as the last line in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file

   • add additional users
