[CHROOT /]$ mv ea-pA1.tar.gz www [CHROOT /]$ cd www [CHROOT /www]$ tar -zxpf ea-pA1.tar.gz
- Create Database: Create a new database and a user with read and write access. This database will contain the system, user, and client configuration. You can store the actual accounting records in this database or in separated databases. For the later, you need to create additional databases.

Please help us to improve the ea-Geier:
Run the automatic tests in
- ea/test/selenium and
- ea/test/simpletest,
and tell us about the result.
It could be that you have to adjust the access limitations in ea/3party/selenium/.htaccess, ea/test/selenium/.htaccess, ea/test/simpletest/.htaccess, and ea/test/.htaccess to your system.
Automatic Update
- Create Backup: First of all, create a backup of your working system (software as well as database!).
- Unpack Software: Move to the chosen directory and unzip the software.
- e.g. using Linux, OS X, or Unix:
[CHROOT /]$ mv ea-pA1.tar.gz www [CHROOT /]$ cd www [CHROOT /www]$ tar -zxpf ea-pA1.tar.gz
- Start Update: Log in using your administration account. That’s it.

Manual Installation
- Unpack Software: Move to the chosen directory and unzip the software.
- e.g. using Linux, OS X, or Unix:
[CHROOT /]$ mv ea-pA1.tar.gz www [CHROOT /]$ cd www [CHROOT /www]$ tar -zxpf ea-pA1.tar.gz
- Create Database: Create a new database and a user with read and write access. This database will contain the system, user, and client configuration. You can store the actual accounting records in this database or in separated databases. For the later, you need to create additional databases.
- Configuration File: Move to the folder config. Copy the file config.dist.php to config.php and adjust the contents to your database setup.
- e.g. using Linux, OS X, or Unix:
[CHROOT /www]$ cd ea/config
[CHROOT /www/ea/config]$ ls
config.dist.php index.html
[CHROOT /www/ea/config]$ cp config.dist.php config.php
[CHROOT /www/ea/config]$ vi config.php
/**
* database configuration
*
* format: driver://user:password@server/database
*/
$conf['dsn'] = 'mysqlt://dbuser:reallyreallytopsecret@localhost/eageier';
- Fill Database: Move to the folder admin and start the file sql.php.
- e.g. using Linux, OS X, or Unix:
[CHROOT /www]$ cd ea/admin [CHROOT /www/ea/admin]$ php -q sql.php
- Adjust Permissions: In unix-like systems you have to enable the system to write to several directories or files.
- e.g. using Linux, OS X, or Unix:
[CHROOT /www]$ cd ea [CHROOT /www/ea]$ chmod 707 tmp/smarty/cache tmp/smarty/templates_c [CHROOT /www/ea]$ chmod 707 tmp/test [CHROOT /www/ea]$ chmod 707 log/.hterror
- Create your first Account: Now you should create the administration account for your system. To do this follow the instructions in the documentation. Then adjust add this email address to your configuration file.
- e.g. using Linux, OS X, or Unix:
[CHROOT /www]$ cd ea/config
[CHROOT /www/ea/config]$ ls
config.dist.php index.html
[CHROOT /www/ea/config]$ cp config.dist.php config.php
[CHROOT /www/ea/config]$ vi config.php
define('eaSYSADMIN', 'admin@ea-geier.at');

- If you have already created clients, it could be that you have to update some client databases manually. For each client there should be one of the following tables prefixed with the client ID:
XX_cashbook XX_assets XX_purchasebook XX_tavels XX_balance
- If they are not there, please copy the the template tables (without prefixed client ID).
