Lire supports various installation environments. This
chapter contains all there is to know about the
installation of Lire in various setup scenarios: from the
simple client setup to the installation of an online
responder. You can find some quick installation instructions
in the INSTALL file. Please note: if
your vendor ships a prepackaged Lire system, you're likely
better of using that one. Furthermore, Stichting LogReport Foundation offers
prebuild packages like RPM's. Be sure to look around for these
before deciding to do a manual installation using the Lire
tarball.
The simplest setup to install Lire in a client-server scenario is where the log files are sent by email to an online responder for processing.
You can test Lire by using Stichting LogReport Foundation's online
responder available at
<log@.
(To process sendmail log files, send them to
service.logreport.org.><log@sendmail.logreport.org>).
To use Lire in such a setup, you only need a mailer (any will do) and an email address where the generated report can get sent to.
No special installation is necessary. You can generate reports by sending the log files to the responder right away. Consult the the section called “Using A Responder” for the complete story.
