Installer Etherpad-Lite sur CentOS 6

Il faut en prérequis une CentOS 6 de base et le dépôt EPEL configuré

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install gzip git-core curl python openssl-devel npm nodejs mysql-server

useradd etherpad

cd /opt
git clone git@github.com:ether/etherpad-lite.git
chown -R etherpad:etherpad ./etherpad-lite
cp -a etherpad-lite/settings.json.template etherpad-lite/settings.json

mysql -uroot

CREATE DATABASE etherpad;
GRANT ALL privileges ON etherpad.* TO 'etherpad'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'ThisIsMySQLPassw0rd';
FLUSH privileges;

Éditez le fichier /opt/etherpad-lite/settings.json selon vos besoins, notamment la partie base de données pour utiliser MySQL

chkconfig etherpad on

Si tout se passe bien, le démon devrait se lancer

/etc/init.d/etherpad start

mysql -uroot

ALTER DATABASE `etherpad` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
USE etherpad;
ALTER TABLE `store` CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;

/etc/init.d/etherpad restart

Voilà, etherpad devrait être accessible (port 9001 par défaut)
