Enable Journal Proxy

Setup Squid

Add the journal ip address to openjournals rule on the SQUID server on ez.sun.ac.za.

Ask Natasja/Wouter/Hilton to add this address using the web interface to ez.sun.ac.za.

Setup Ubuntu Server

Then do the following on the journal: 

sudo nano /etc/environment

Add the following to the bottom of the file. 

http_proxy=http://ez.sun.ac.za:3128/
https_proxy=http://ez.sun.ac.za:3128/
HTTP_PROXY=http://ez.sun.ac.za:3128/
HTTPS_PROXY=http://ez.sun.ac.za:3128/

Save and exit nano.

Setup OJS

Modify the config file and add the proxy settings. See example below. 

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Proxy Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[proxy]

; Note that allow_url_fopen must be set to Off before these proxy settings
; will take effect.

; The HTTP proxy configuration to use
http_host = ez.sun.ac.za
http_port = 3128
; proxy_username = username
; proxy_password = password

Enable clean URLs without "index.php"

Enable the "mod_rewrite" module; 

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Then create the ".htaccess" file; 

sudo nano /var/www/.htaccess

OR 

sudo nano /var/www/html/.htaccess

Copy and paste the following; 

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
  </IfModule>

Save and exit the file.

Then update file ownership; 

sudo chown www-data.root /var/www/.htaccess

OR 

sudo chown www-data.root /var/www/html/.htaccess

Restart the web server and lock down the config file

Restart the Apache2 web server. 

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Type the following to "lock-down" the OJS config file. 

chmod 0644 /var/www/html/config.inc.php

Notes

We will be moving to a federated system. Below are links to pages regarding rewrites/redirection instructions for custom journal URL's.
