Steps to install Cerebrate on RHEL
Clone this repository
mkdir /var/www/cerebrate
git clone https://github.com/cerebrate-project/cerebrate.git /var/www/cerebrate
Run composer
mkdir -p /var/www/.composer
chown -R apache.apache /var/www/.composer
chown -R apache.apache /var/www/cerebrate
cd /var/www/cerebrate

Create your local configuration and set the db credentials
cp -a /var/www/cerebrate/config/app_local.example.php /var/www/cerebrate/config/app_local.php
cp -a /var/www/cerebrate/config/config.example.json /var/www/cerebrate/config/config.json
Modify the Datasource -> default array's in file app_local.php
Simply modify the
Datasources
section, to reflect your values for: username, password, and database fields, as configured in the above #create-a-new-database-user-and-password-for-cerebrate
vim /var/www/cerebrate/config/app_local.php
'Datasources' => [
'default' => [
'host' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'cerebrate',
'password' => 'CHANGE_ME_PASSWORD',
'database' => 'cerebrate',
...
Run the database schema migrations
usermod -s /bin/bash apache
chown -R apache.apache /var/www/.composer
chown -R apache.apache /var/www/cerebrate
su apache <<'EOFi'
/var/www/cerebrate/bin/cake migrations migrate
/var/www/cerebrate/bin/cake migrations migrate -p tags
/var/www/cerebrate/bin/cake migrations migrate -p ADmad/SocialAuth
EOFi
usermod -s /sbin/nologin apache
Clean cakephp caches
rm /var/www/cerebrate/tmp/cache/models/*
rm /var/www/cerebrate/tmp/cache/persistent/*
copy the Apache httpd template to the default apache configuration folder
in our case we used apache to serve this website, NGINX could also be used.
cp -v /var/www/cerebrate/INSTALL/cerebrate_apache_dev.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/.
mkdir /var/log/apache2
chown apache.root -R /var/log/apache2
restorecon -Rv /etc/httpd/conf.d/*
restorecon -Rv /var/log/*
Make changes to the apache httpd site configuration file
Edit the file
/etc/httpd/conf.d/cerebrate_apache_dev.conf
change the two references of port 8000 to 8001
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/cerebrate_apache_dev.conf
Make changes to SELinux
From the SELinux Manual page services with non standard ports We need SELinux to allow httpd to connect to our custom port 8001/tcp
semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 8001
Change SELinux context for folder /var/www/cerebrate
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/var/www/cerebrate(/.*)?"
restorecon -Rv /var/www/cerebrate/
chown apache.apache /var/www/cerebrate
Apply changes/restart Apache httpd
Look out for any errors during restart.
systemctl enable httpd
systemctl restart httpd
Point your browser to: http://localhost:8001
