Open-AudIT should be installed on 64bit systems only. You might try it on a 32bit system, but this will not be supported going forward.
These installation instructions and scripts have been tested on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 13.04, Debian 7. Other versions may work. If you do install on another version and need to make alterations, please contribute this back to the community so others can also benefit.
The below commands should be run as the root user (you can "sudo su" on Ubuntu).
All items in CAPITALS should be substituted with actual specific values.
Make sure your server is up to date.
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
There are a few variables you should note down (they will be used later on).
HOSTNAME
uname -n
TIMEZONE
cat /etc/timezone
Install MySQL (make a note of your supplied root password).
apt-get instal mysql-server
Install Apache, PHP, SNMP, zip and Nmap.
apt-get install -q -y apache2 openssh-server php5 php5-ldap php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-snmp nmap snmp zip chkconfig daemon
Configure PHP (substituting $TIMEZONE from above).
sed -i -e 's/memory_limit/;memory_limit/g' /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini echo "memory_limit = 512M" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini sed -i -e 's/max_execution_time/;max_execution_time/g' /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini echo "max_execution_time = 300" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini sed -i -e 's/max_input_time/;max_input_time/g' /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini echo "max_input_time = 600" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini sed -i -e 's/error_reporting/;error_reporting/g' /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini echo "error_reporting = E_ALL" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini sed -i -e 's/display_errors/;display_errors/g' /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini echo "display_errors = On" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini sed -i -e 's/upload_max_filesize/;upload_max_filesize/g' /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini echo "upload_max_filesize = 10M" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini # Get a valid dat/time string from http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php sed -i -e 's/date.timezone/;date.timezone/g' /etc/php.ini echo "date.timezone = $TIMEZONE" >> /etc/php.ini
Set the server name (substituting $HOSTNAME from above) for Apache and restart
echo "ServerName $HOSTNAME" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf service apache2 restart
Set the SUID for the nmap binary (so we can use the apache front end to run scripts which call nmap).
chmod u+s /usr/bin/nmap
