ProVision Local Installation For Debian 8

Upgrade your current packages.

   apt-get update
   apt-get upgrade

Installations of ProVision 7.x and newer require  PHP 7.1 (and related extensions). ProVision 7.x installations using Debian versions prior to Stretch 9 require updating to PHP 7.1. Debian Wheezy comes with PHP 5.4 by default. You can either add a repository which provides PHP 7.1 or install PHP manually.

In order to create self-signed certificates and to work properly, the hostname must be resolved properly:

Open the hosts file for editing: 

    vi /etc/hosts

Add a record for your hostname

    yourhostname X.X.X.X

Create self-signed certificate:

    make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite

Enable the default vhost for apache:

    a2ensite default-ssl

Allow overwrites in the apache vhosts:

    sed -i 's/AllowOverride None/AllowOverride All/g' /etc/apache2/sites-available/default* 

6. Reload apache:

    service apache2 reload

Set the MySQL Configuration:

    mysql -p -e "SET GLOBAL sql_mode='NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION';SET SESSION sql_mode='NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION';"

then enter the MySQL root password when prompted.
