SourceForge Documentation Project Maintained by SourceForge Volunteers Current Document: SourceForge-1.0.4 Administrator Guide Go to: [SFDocs Home] [SourceForge Project Page] [SourceForge.net]

This is an administrator guide to the SourceForge software as found on SourceForge. It gives hints to successfully create a SourceForge service on a machine. It assumes that you've successfully installed the software as described in SourceForge-1.0.4 Installation Guide

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create the admin user

Before trying anything you must create a user named admin. This user will 
automatically be assigned server wide administration permissions. On the
home page a Site Administrator menu should appear.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create categories

Unless some categories exist in the software map you won't be able to create
a new project. Create one or two categories using the Site Administrator menu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Populate the project_status table

This table lists the possible status of a task in the Task Manager. If it
is not filled the status of a task will be assigned a random value and will
therefore disapear from the task lists.

insert into project_status (status_name) values ('Open');
insert into project_status (status_name) values ('Closed');
insert into project_status (status_name) values ('Deleted');

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Default IDs

id=100 is used throughout the site as a default. user_id=100 is for a
user named "none", which is referenced a lot. bug_group_id=100 is a
default adefault as well. There are instances throughout the patch
manager, surveys, bugs, and task manager where this is used, as an
FYI. Also bug_status, patch_status, project_status are tables (maybe
more), that we need to include default data for.
