Hello,

to install openca you just need the two packages:

1. openca-tools
2. openca-base

First install the openca-tools. download the package, unpack it,
go in the directory and just follow the standard config/compile/install
procedure:

        $ ./configure
        $ make
        $ make install             <-- You might need to have root privileges

To install the openca-base package, follow a very similar procedure.
The simplest way to do it, just cd into the unpacked directory and:

        $ ./configure --prefix=SOMEWHERE
        $ make
        $ make install-online
        $ make install-offline

If you do not want to install the CA on the same machine as the RA+PUB, just
do not execute the last step (do it on the CA machine).

Then go to the SOMEWHERE directory and edit the config.xml file (there you
will find the basic options). The next step is to execute the ./configure_etc.sh
script that automatically apply the changes to all the .template config files.

After that, you shall be pretty set... start OpenCA by using the openca_rc 
script
(eg., SOMEWHERE/etc/openca_rc start).

BTW, there is no build.sh script - it must be a reference to an old installation
procedure. Follow the above steps and you should be fine. One note, though.

Check the SOMEWHERE/etc/access_control directory, you might want to set the
appropriate access methods to the different interfaces (pub/ra/ca... ).

Later,
Max

I am installing an OpenCA on Ubuntu Server.

I'm done installing the following below.

 * OpenCA PKI Modules
 * LibPKI
 * OpenCA OCSPD
 * PRQPD Server

Addition to that are the Perl 5.8.8, Apache2 2.2.4, Sendmail, OpenSSL, OpenLDAP, and mod_ssl and other projects needed.

But, this instruction is confusing me,

0. Build and install OpenCA using the build.sh script which installs
both parts of OpenCA (RA and CA) in /usr/local/openra and /usr/local/openca
respectively. (Extract openca-x.y.tar.gz and put build.sh inside openca-x.y
directory. Then change directory to openca-x.y and type ./build.sh )

-->I've downloaded the openca-0.9.3-rc1 (is this the one i'm asked to extract?). After extracting it, i found no "build.sh" inside it, how is it?

This package was installed, I checked it in the synaptic package manager,
but still there are no parts of openca and openra in /usr/local/. What's the possible problem?

I badly need your help. Timeframe of 1 week to install this was given to me.

Thanks in advanced!
