Instructions

Your IRLP Computer Must Meet The Following Requirements Prior To Installation Of The IRLPvCON Admin Software Package :

Linux O/S Must Be Red Hat Style:
Either Red Hat, Fedora Core, or Centos
A Working IRLP Node Must Be Installed
The Apache HTTPD Webserver Must Be Installed
The Perl Interpreter Package Must Be Installed

Before Installing This, Or Any New IRLP Software,
Please Make Sure You Have A Full Backup Of Your Node - JUST IN CASE!

---------- Installing Apache HTTPD and Perl ----------
Skip If Apache and Perl Are Already Installed

If your system is running Fedora Core or Centos, you probably have YUM installed and can use it to install Apache HTTPD and Perl. To install these packages using YUM, type the following commands as user root and follow directions.

yum install httpd

yum install perl

Note: The loading and installation of these programs can require a bit of time.

If your system does not have YUM installed (Redhat 7.3 or 9), you will need to get and install the Apache and Perl programs yourself. Information about these programs is available at these websites.

www.apache.org

www.perl.com

-------- Downloading & Installing The IRLPvCON Package --------

Once Apache and Perl are installed on your IRLP Node computer, you are ready to proceed with the download and installation.

Note: The installation will perform several modifications to the Apache server and IRLP scripts which the installation program will explain. You will have the option to cancel the installation if these operations are not desired.

Note: That This Installation Will Overwrite Any Existing IRLPvCON Installation Including Any IRLPvCon Custom Pages Or Modifications you may have made.

Note: By downloading this package you are accepting the terms of the agreement at the end of this document.

To Download and Install the latest version of IRLPvCon, Login as user root on your IRLP computer and then enter the following three commands:

wget -nd -nc k6ib.com/downloads/k6ib-load-a
chmod +x k6ib-load-a
./k6ib-load-a irlpvcon

---------- Using IRLPvCON ----------

To access IRLPvCON point your browser to

your-ip-address/irlpvcon

!! Be Aware: If you have installed the IRLP remote admin program, Apache has been set to listen on port 15426. If that is the case All Browser Calls to the Apache server Must be made with that port number.
Example:
http://your-ip-address:15426/irlpvcon

After installation the IRLPvCON User's Manual can be viewed by pointing your browser to the following:
