Upgrade Installation

This instuction is for upgrade installtaion from version 2.0 or below.

# File Extraction and Disk Usage

Extract zci-*.zip to the same directory of previous zCI installation.

# Database Setup

1. Use database engine that support subquery. For MySQL, users must use version 4.1.x or higher.
2. If upgrading the database engine, please backup the data and program directory of the database. Also make second backup by using backup utility of the directory. For MySQL, users can use mysqldump.
3. After database engine upgrade, check and recreate, if necessary, a database user for zCI application also the host where the database will be accessed from. The host should be the IP address or DNS name of the zCI web server.
4. Check and set priviledge of the user@host (step 4) to be able to "SELECT, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE" on zci database created on step 2.
5. Test database connectivity from the web server.
6. To upgrade database schema, execute step 8 of webserver setup.

# Web Server Setup

1. To ensure data security, entry access to management pages is hidden and removed from ./index.html to manage/index.html. Index.html on parent directory now contain welcome page of previous zCI version.
2. Edit zciconfig.php on root directory, edit the parameters of dbx_connect clause to match : the database server IP,database user and password.

return dbx_connect(DBX_MYSQL,"<DB server IP>","zci","<DB USER>","<PASSWORD>");

Example: return dbx_connect(DBX_MYSQL,"10.1.2.3","zci","myzcidbuser","myzcidbpassword");

3. Set webserver permission for admin and supervisor subdirectory because it contains PHP scripts to do data editing. Access to them will need authentication using HTTP-Authentication. IIS webserver permission can be based on file system permission. For Apache, put proper .htaccess file on that subdirectories. If having difficulties in this step, we suggest renaming the admin and supervisor subdirectories to prevent access that can disturb data security.
4. Test the webserver by browsing to top zCI path and manage subdirectory. If the path is correct, welcome page will be displayed also the home display of management pages.

6. To test database connectity, click "Registered Devices" on left menu of management pages, then click "Search " button on right display. If no error messages displayed, the database connection is successful.
7. If encountering PHP MySQL client error, please upgrade PHP to the latest-stable daily snapshot version of PHP. Open http://www.php.net and click "Snapshot" on top menu.
8. Open http://<zci path>/engine/mysql-upgrade.php on Internet browser then click "UPGRADE" button to migrate database schema to new format. Please ignore displayed PHP error messages.After this execution, remove "engine/mysql-upgrade.php or rename its extension.

# Client Programs Setup

Client programs consists of only 1 small file. It is reside on the engine directory and named takedata.js. Here are the steps to set it up:

1. Open engine directory.
2. Open takedata.js for editing.
3. You will see value-assigning statement for zcipath on the beginning of the file.
4. Type the path of zCI's URL in the <zcipath> then save the JS file.

var zcipath="http://<your zCI path>/";

Example:

var zcipath="http://localhost/zci/";

5. For use in login script and you want autoclose feature, find the line containing : var hiddenflag=false;. Change it to var hiddenflag=true;. This feature needs Microsoft Internet Explorer.
6. To be generic and can be implemented in any organization, zCI do not has facilities to determine physical location of device, such as department name and city of the office. It is suggested to include such information on the device name. For example, a computer that is located on Jakarta, Indonesia and being used by user Zamroni can be named ID-JKT-ZAMRONI1.

# Font and Colour Scheme
