Product Opener is not yet released as open source. The instructions below are for reference and for early testers of Product Opener. They are very likely to change as the code will be restructured, made more independent of proprietary code and specific Open Food Facts uses etc.
 
 
 
When it is released, Product Opener will have much easier to use install scripts and instructions.
 
 
 
== Install directory ==
 
 
 
Instructions below use /home/obf for the install directory, replace with your install dir.
 
 
 
== Product Opener code ==
 
 
 
=== Configuration ===
 
 
 
==== startup.pl ====
 
 
 
This file is used to preload Perl module in Apache.
 
It contains a path that needs to be updated:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
# Needs to be configured
 
use lib "/home/obf/cgi/";
 
</pre>
 
 
 
==== Config.pm ====
 
 
 
==== Config2.pm ====
 
 
 
Contains info about the domain, database and path. This is separated from Config.pm so that it is easy to create test instance that share the same configuration in Config.pm but are on other domains.
 
 
 
<pre>
 
# server constants
 
$domain = "openbeautyfacts.org";
 
 
 
# server paths
 
$www_root = "/home/obf/html";
 
$data_root = "/home/obf";
 
 
 
$mongodb = "obf";
 
</pre>
 
 
 
== MongoDB database ==
 
 
 
== Apache servers ==
 
 
 
In production we use a light weight Apache web server for static files (e.g. images) that does reverse proxying to a modperl Apache server that dynamically generates the HTML pages.
 
 
 
If the trafic is low or moderate, you can use only one Apache mod_perl server that also serves images etc.
 
 
 
In the example below, the Apache mod_perl server listens on port 19000.
 
 
 
=== Light-weight reverse proxy for static files ===
