HEDD installation

I’ve been getting HEDD up and running for Moodle.

Jumpstarted yesterday from the Moodle definition. The main gotcha is that this box has no CD-ROM, so the disks ar c0t0 and c0t1 rather than c1 based.

Today I got PostgreSQL and PHP installed. PostgreSQL is using /data/pgsql as its data directory, and I essentially copied the startup script from the FreeBSD port for Solaris.

PHP was simple and straightforward, after modifying the apxs perl script to point to the right perl location (/usr/bin rather than /usr/local/bin).

Update: having to recompile PHP with OpenLDAP support. I made OpenLDAP without slapd support, since we aren’t going to be running any LDAP server here and this takes out the requirement for Berkeley DB.
