Modules

Modules are individual components of the FGS package, and can be found here by selecting the “modules” directory under a specific version. It is better to stop apache before a module installation and to restart it after.

To install a specific module in the FGS environment, execute the following command:

• $ fgs install module-name:version from-where
• An example command could be:
• $ fgs install tilecache-base:2.10 http://dl.maptools.org/dl/fgs/releases/9.5/modules/
• You can view your list of installed modules in $FGS_HOME/etc/fgs/pkgs/
• To upgrade an existing module you have to use the following command:
• $ fgs force-install module-name:version from-where
  An example could be:
• $ fgs force-install tilecache-base:2.10 http://dl.maptools.org/dl/fgs/releases/9.5/modules/
• Setting up PGSQL driver for FGS
• Add line ‘extension = pgsql.so’ to file php5.ini.template. Path for this file is
• FGSINSTALLTIONFOLDER /www/conf
• Copy files pgsql.so ,pdo_pgsql.so and pdo.so to FGSINSTALLTIONFOLDER /www/lib from /usr/lib/php5 folder
• Restart server.
