Is open Source Free?



But, can open source have a lower TCO?


•Absolutely

•Your mileage may vary

•Think PHP on IBM i…

Zend Server CE is paid for with SWMA w/1 year support

Zend Studio perpetual license also included w/1 year of updates

DB2 is built in, Zend DBi (MySQL) is also no charge

Apache server included and supported by IBM

No user based pricing, unlimited user access!

•The obvious answer is $0 cash outlay for POC!


What are the risks/rewards?


•An open source project may

Become abandoned

Become forked

Licensing may be confusing

•Open Source brings education

OPC

Industry best practices

Ideas on what to do or not to do…

Strong licensing protects all!


Recent Survey by Northbridge Partners


•Open Source Business Conference

•32% of respondents indicate 75% of IT is open source!

•Enterprise adoption of Open Source is at 40%

•Enterprise adoption of Open Source is rated as #1 priority

by companies with 1,000+ employees

•Why is OS so attractive?

Lower cost

Freedom from vendor lock-in

Quality

•Mobile OSS growing faster then proprietary(Apple i/OS)

Sourceforge

GoogleCode

•Default location when I download was SF

•Save the zip file and extract

•Check out the readme…


http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/


Readme.txt for installation

•Six steps!

Unpack archive

Upload files

Make writable

Create MySQL DB

Point Browser to install.php

Cleanup



Tar and untar?

•Files are already extracted

• I prefer to tar them

•Then FTP single file to IBM i

•Then untar…

•7-Zip does good job of creating and extracting .tar

• .tar = tape archive (Think SAVF)



Unzip the .zip then tar

•Create directory on PC called collabtive076

•Unzip files from download to the new directory

•Open 7zip and select the directory & click add

•Enter name, select archive type tar & click OK

•Archive is created

•FTP archive to docroot of IBM i

•www/zendsvr/htdocs



Green screen commands

•Verify file uploaded

•Time for upload varies by connection, etc.

•Open PASE command shell via CALL QP2TERM

•Navigate to directory via CD /www/zendsvr/htdocs



Extract on IBM i

•Using the PASE command shell extract the file

tar –xvf collabtive076.tar

• -xvf means x=extract, v=verbose, f = use this file

Creates directory

Copies all files (thousands)

Send message to console for each file

When console settles down, your are ready to continue



Screen when extracting



Make writeable

•Handful of files that need to be writable by web server

•This is temporary

•What is profile of webserver?

•WRKACTJOB SBS(QHTTPSVR)



Create SYMLNK

•Create a symbolic link to the collabtive directory

•Simplifies the update process



Make writeable

•Using WRKLNK or iNav, etc.

•Change files to be writeable by QTMHHTTP

•This is better than public, but not by much…

/templates_c

/files

/config/standard/config.php

•CL Command example for /files directory…

CHGAUT OBJ('/www/zendsvr/htdocs/collabtive076/files')

USER(QTMHHTTP) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)



Create DB

•Using phpMyAdmin under Zend DBi (next months webinar)

•Create the database…

Got privileges tab

Click add user

Select radio…

Click GO



Run the Install
