Recommended setup on Unix

  1. Install DamageControl into for example /usr/local/damagecontrol. (By unpacking the .tar.gz.)
  2. Create a new user for the DamageControl server, for example damagecontrol.
  3. Create a working directory for DamageControl in for example /var/damagecontrol.
  4. Give damagecontrol write access to the working directory, it does not need write-access to the DamageControl install directory. In fact it is recommended that you do not give it write-access to that directory.
  5. Copy the startup scripts (bin/server and bin/server.rb) to the working directory (/var/damagecontrol). Edit the shell script (server) so that it sets up DAMAGECONTROL_HOME properly. Edit the the server.rb script so that it starts with 
    $damagecontrol_home = ENV['DAMAGECONTROL_HOME']
  6. Use something like daemontools to run and monitor the DamageControl server.
