InstallingtheDPWMSandprerequisites
IfadministratorsprefertousetheirownversionofLinux,aTGZfileisavailableforinstallation.InvinceausesCentOS6.6
x86_64,butasimilarLinuxOSmaybeused(a64‐bitLinuxOSisrequired).TheDPWMSrequiresaMySQLdatabase,
eitheronthelocalsystemorona
remotesystem.TheDPWMSalsorequiresthatthesystemhasport443available
throughthelocalfirewallfortheDPWMSConsoleandAPIcallstowork(assumingtherecommendedportsareused.
Thismayvarybasedoncustomconfigurations).Thefollowingpackagesarerequiredforfullsystemfunctionality
(assumingRHEL
orCentOS):
 mysql‐server
 epel(onlyrequiredifinstallingthenextpackageviayum)
 wine
TheDPWMScanbeinstalledviathetgzfilesupplied.Adestinationdirectoryneedstobecreatedfirst.Itis
recommendedthatthefollowingdirectorybeused:/var/www/html/ims2.Oncethedestinationdirectoryiscreated,
thefollowingcommandcanbeusedtoextractthecomponents:

tar xzf dpwms-z.z.z-YYYYY.tgz –C /var/www/html/ims2

ThisassumestherecommendeddestinationpathisusedandtheDPWMSpackageisinthedirectorythecommandis
beingexecutedfrom.

BeforetheDPWMScanrun,MySQLalsoneedstobeinstalledonthehost,asallDPWMSdataisstoredwithinaMySQL
database.Thedatabasecanbe
storedonaseparatemachine;howeverthedefaultconfigurationfilewillneedtobe
updatedtopointtothedestinationsystem.Also,ausernameandpasswordarenecessarysotheDPWMSprocesscan
connecttothemysqldatabase.Thesewillneedtobeenteredintotheims.conffile.
Additionally,to
supportthreatreportuploadsandpackageuploads,the/etc/my.cnffileneedstobemodifiedtoinclude
thefollowingunderthe[mysqld]section:
 max_allowed_packet=150M
Thedefaultmy.cnfincludedwiththepre‐builtsystemcontainsthefollowing:
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
max_allowed_packet=150M
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

OncethepackageandMySQLdatabase areready,followingthestepsinthe“ConfiguringtheDPWMSSYSVstartup
script”and“ConfigurationtheDPWMSconfigurationfile”sections. 
