Installazione attraverso l'Interfaccia a Linea di Comando (CLI)

Introduzione

Quando si compiono delle installazioni automatizzate come durante l'installazione di una macchina virtuale, possiamo utilizzare la CLI (Command Line Interface - Interfaccia a Linea di Comanda) di LimeSurvey (qui si fa riferimento alla v2.X) per ottenere un buon risultato. I file utilizzati a questo scopo (così come per il reset della password) sono contenuti nella cartella ""WEBROOT/application/commands""; in particolare, quello che ci interessa qui è ""console.php"".

Pre-requisites

PHP CLI should be available
WEBROOT/application/config/config.php should be available and populated with the automated install's parameters.
Folder permissions PHP Modules availability should match LimeSurvey needs
Empty MySQL database should be created and the database use user should be properly privileged for it.

Usage

For illustration purposes here we assume the WEBROOT to be /var/www/limesurvey

cd /var/www/limesurvey/application/commands
php console.php

This will show:

Yii command runner (based on Yii v1.1.14)
Usage: console.php <command-name> [parameters...]

The following commands are available:
 - install
 - message
 - migrate
 - plugin
 - resetpassword
 - shell
 - webapp

To see individual command help, use the following:
   console.php help <command-name>

Syntax

php console.php <Admin User Name> <Admin User Password> <Full Name> <EMail ID>

The Full Name and password are enclosed in double quotes if they contain spaces or other special characters.
All other parameters like DB Name, DB Type, DB User, DB Password, etc are to be populated in the config.php file before script execution.
The script should be executed from and in the WEBROOT/application/commands folder only.

Example

cd /var/www/limesurvey/application/commands
php console.php install limeadmin pwd123 Admin admin@mydomain.com

outputs the following text:

/var/www/limesurvey/installer/sql/create-mysql.sql

and the database should be properly installed.
