Creating a HotCRP Conference Server

from laira sudo ssh -K svr-hotcrp then cd /opt/hotcrp sh -x README.cl SHortName [with no spaces in the name]


output like:-


SenSys_2015

edit SenSys_2015/conf/options.php (was Code/options.inc) and check that it looks plausible. 'paperSite' should be set to http://svr-hotcrp.cl.cam.ac.uk/hotcrp/SenSys_2015 'downloadPrefix' should be set to 'SenSys_2015-" (note the trailing hyphen). set shortName', 'longName', 'contactName', 'contactEmail' and 'emailFrom' and 'emailSubmissions' from the user supplied info.

+ echo

+ echo Add SenSys_2015 to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, then 'cl-asuser service apache2 graceful' Add SenSys_2015 to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, then 'cl-asuser service apache2 graceful'


Edit enSys_2015/conf/options.php to set the options mentioned

$Opt["dbName"] = "SenSys_2015"; $Opt["dbUser"] = "SenSys_2015"; $Opt["dbPassword"] = "SenSys_2015_cm542"; $Opt["shortName"] = "SenSys 2015"; $Opt["LongName"] = "13th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems"; $Opt["conferenceSite"] = "http://sensys.acm.org/2015/"; $Opt["paperSite"] = "http://svr-hotcrp.cl.cam.ac.uk/hotcrp/SenSys_2015"; $Opt["downloadPrefix"] = "SenSys_2015-"; $Opt["contactName"] = "Cecilia Mascolo"; $Opt["contactEmail"] = "cm54@cam.ac.uk"; $Opt["sendEmail"] = true; $Opt["emailFrom"] = "cm54@cam.ac.uk"; $Opt["emailSender"] = null; $Opt["emailSubmissions"] = "cm54@cam.ac.uk";
