Get the sources from ws-vacation and put the program anywhere on your harddrive:
>>> hg clone https://bitbucket.org/wolfmanx/ws-vacation
Change alias /vacation in lib/ws-vacation.conf.in, if desired.
Execute the following commands (as user) to create the run-time files:
>>> make clean >>> make
This substitutes the installation directory in the necessary places.
Copy lib/ws-vacation.conf to /etc/apache2/conf.d/:
>>> sudo cp lib/ws-vacation.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/
Reload the Apache server:
>>> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload.
The sudo(1) setup allows the apache server to execute vacation(1) as any user (except root) without a password. This is activated by copying the file lib/ws-vacation-sudo into the directory /etc/sudoers.d (ubuntu):
>>> sudo cp lib/ws-vacation-sudo /etc/sudoers.d/ws-vacation-sudo >>> sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/ws-vacation-sudo
or by appending it to the file /etc/sudoers (older SuSE):
>>> cat lib/ws-vacation-sudo | sudo tee /etc/sudoers
The file lib/.htpasswd can be created by the regular means.
An automated script is available that creates the password database from the system shadow(8) database. Just change into directory lib and execute:
>>> sudo php gen_htpasswd.php
Bemerkung
If new users are created in the system, this step must be repeated to update the .htpasswd file.
The file lib/config.php contains the basic configuration data.
It is possible to fine-tune the standard user selection with:
The configuraton setting $EXPERT_ENABLED allows to globally disable Expert Mode.
The file lib/language.php contains language specific translation and also the default vacation(1) message text.
The HTML header and footer can be modified in lib/templates.php.
