Requirements / Prerequisites for installing Ezeelogin

The following are required on your SSH gateway server to install/run ezeelogin:

• Apache web server
• MySQL server & client
• PHP (above version 5)
• MySQL extensions for PHP
• GD extension for PHP (only for captcha)
• OpenSSL

Most of these will be already installed on most servers by default.

On a Centos/RHEL/Fedora server, you can install these requirements with the following command:

yum -y install httpd mysql mysql-server php php-mysql php-gd openssl

NOTE: MySQL must listen remotely if you plan to setup Ezeelogin cluster. my.cnf should reflect the port and bind-address. REPLACE 111.111.111.111 with the public IP on the primary interface to listen for MySQL connections:

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
bind-address=111.111.111.111
port=3306
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

Make sure the above listed packages are installed on the server before installing Ezeelogin.

NOTE: While installing on FreeBSD servers, make sure root SSH login is permitted (this is disabled by default in FreeBSD). Set 'PermitRootLogin' in 'sshd_config' to “yes” or “without-password” (see “man sshd_config” for more info) and restart sshd. Test the setting is correct by ssh to localhost (ssh -l root 127.0.0.1). You should be able to login successfully.

PS: Ezeelogin can be installed on Linux and FreeBSD servers only. Support for other operating systems are in progress.
