INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS
RosarioSIS Student Information System

RosarioSIS is a web based application which relies on other facilities such as a web server, PHP server-side scripting, and a
PostgreSQL database server.
For RosarioSIS to work you must first have your web server working, PostgreSQL working, PHP working (including the pgsql , gettext ,
mbstring , gd , curl , xmlrpc & xml extensions). Setting these up varies a lot with operating system so it is well beyond the scope of this brief
install document.
RosarioSIS was tested on:
Windows 10 x86 with Apache 2.4.16, Postgres 9.3.6, and PHP 5.4.45
Ubuntu 14.04 with Apache 2.4.18, Postgres 9.3.10, and PHP 5.5.9
Debian Jessie with Apache 2.4.16, Postgres 9.4, and PHP 5.6.13
Debian Stretch with Apache 2.4.25, Postgres 9.6, and PHP 7.0.14
Ubuntu 16.04 with Apache 2.4.18, Postgres 9.5, and PHP 7.3.4
Debian Buster with Apache 2.4.38, Postgres 11.5, and PHP 7.4.6
Shared hosting with cPanel, nginx, Postgres 8.4, and PHP 5.6.27
through Mozilla Firefox
through BrowserStack for cross-browser compatibility (not compatible with Internet Explorer 9 or lower)
Minimum requirements: PHP 5.4.45 & PostgreSQL 8.4

Database
Now, you're ready to setup the RosarioSIS database. If you have access to the command prompt for your server, follow these
instructions.
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Login to PostgreSQL as the postgres user:
server$ sudo -u postgres psql
3. Create the rosariosis user:
postgres=# CREATE USER rosariosis_user WITH PASSWORD 'rosariosis_user_password';
4. Create the rosariosis database:
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE rosariosis_db WITH ENCODING 'UTF8' OWNER rosariosis_user;
5. Logout of PostgreSQL:
postgres=# \q
Also, the pg_hba.conf file may have to be altered to enable password ( md5 ) peer authentication:
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all md5
