ILIAS-7-Install-Tutorial for Ubuntu 20.04

Rename a Client

There a several reasons for renaming a client. One could be if you installed a "Muster-Client" and after that you want to get a little "branding" for your institution. 

  • Set the client offline in ilias/setup/setup.php

Change the NIC-ID

  • You can find the NIC-ID in Administration->General Setings-Server
  • Example:  NIC-ID 12334
  • It is stored in the Database-Table settings in the column inst_id
  • You can change the NIC-ID to any value. It must only be unique on your installation. For example, if this is client #2, you can change it to 2:
  • mysql
    • mysql> use coronadb1;
    • mysql> UPDATE `settings` SET `value` = '2' WHERE `settings`.`module` = 'common' AND `settings`.`keyword` = 'inst_id';
    • mysql> exit

Configure the webdir

  • Explanation: corona1 (old clientname), corona2 (new clientname)
  • cd /var/www/html/ilias/data
  • To look whats in here: ls
  • Choose the client to rename. In this case, I choose to rename corona1 to corona2
  • mv corona1 corona2
  • cd corona2
  • nano client.ini.php
  • Change the Name: name = "Corona-Client 2"

Configure the Datadir

  • cd /opt/iliasdata
  • Choose the directory: ls
  • mv corona1 corona2

Configure Lucene-Server (if installed)

  • Change the corresponding values: nano /opt/iliasdata/lucene/ilServer.properties
  • /etc/init.d/ilserver stop
  • /etc/init.d/ilserver start

Chat-System

The chatsystem needs no change.

Adjust rightsettings

  • If you have, change this script: nano /opt/scripts/setrights
  • And run it
