Install

• Install operating system (just operating system, don't need to install Apache, MySQL, Python, and so on).
• Disable SELinux.
• Give us an account with sufficient privileges.
• We will install everything by SSH access.

Notes

• We prefer to have one dedicated server for GeneNetwork website.
• We need account root or general user account with permanent "sudo/su" privilege, and access servers by SSH.
• To set up GN, we definitely need sudo/su access to install dependent packages, SVN, copy MySQL files and Python source code files, chown, chgrp, chmod, modify GN config files, etc.
• Disable SELinux.
