| 138 | | Configuration: VMWare Player installed by UHL IM&T. Ubuntu 120.10 LTS. ProFTPd (which needs openbsd-inetd installing first). WinSCP and PuTTY installed onto the Windows OS to connect to VM for file installations, etc. Use PuTTY to create a key pair for SSH connection. After that, WinSCP can connect using SFTP instead of FTP. Install ntp and set /etc/ntp.conf to point to the UK pool, because system time will get out of sync while the server is turned off. If this set-up doesn't do the trick we might need additional cron jobs. But ntp should sort it. |

| 140 | | For REDCap, install php-pear, php5-curl, phpmyadmin. |
| 141 | | |
| 142 | | Put the 'Virtual Machines' directory into "C:\Users\Public" and then create a shortcut to start VMWare Player and launch the relevant VM. If that shortcut were in the 'All Users' startup directory it would start automatically. But putting shortcuts in the 'All Users' directory requires admin permission. |
| 143 | | |
| 144 | | The server still needs suspending before the laptop is shutdown. There should be a fix for this. It probably involves using the VMWare VIX API, which I have downloaded to the shared folder for installing once admin privileges are granted. |

| 148 | | 4MMVLX1 is done, at least to this point, with the shortcut in my personal 'startup' directory. A support call has been logged asking for local admin rights. |
| 149 | | |
| 150 | | JLMVLX1 has had the VM image copied to it. |
