15Steps for setting up a local Test Manager instance for development:
16
17 - Install apache, postgresql, python, psycopg2 (python) and pylint.
18
19 - Create the database by executing 'kmk load-testmanager-db' in
20 the './db/' subdirectory. The default psql parameters there
21 requies pg_hba.conf to specify 'trust' instead of 'peer' as the
22 authentication method for local connections.
23
24 - Use ./db/partial-db-dump.py on the production system to extract a
25 partial database dump (last 14 days).
26
27 - Use ./db/partial-db-dump.py with the --load-dump-into-database
28 parameter on the development box to load the dump.
29
30 - Configure apache using the ./apache-template-2.4.conf (see top of
31 file for details), for example:
32
33 Define TestManagerRootDir "/mnt/scratch/vbox/svn/trunk/src/VBox/ValidationKit/testmanager"
34 Define VBoxBuildOutputDir "/tmp"
35 Include "${TestManagerRootDir}/apache-template-2.4.conf"
36
37 Make sure to enable cgi (a2enmod cgi && systemctl restart apache2).
38
39 - Default htpasswd file has users a user 'admin' with password 'admin' and a
40 'test' user with password 'test'. This isn't going to get you far if
41 you've loaded something from the production server as there is typically
42 no 'admin' user in the 'Users' table there. So, you will need to add your
43 user and a throwaway password to 'misc/htpasswd-sample' using the htpasswd
44 utility.
45
46 - Try http://localhost/testmanager/ in a browser and see if it works.

50N.B. For developing tests (../tests/), setting up a local test manager will be
51 a complete waste of time. Just run the test drivers locally.
