Installes FrontAccounting (http://www.frontaccounting.com)
Tested on CentOS 6.6. Other platforms may work, possibly with some modifications.
| Key | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ['frontaccounting']['baseurl'] | String | The URL file path under which the accounting package should be available | /accounting |

| ['frontaccounting']['fileuser'] | String | The user name who should own the files in the application | root |
| ['frontaccounting']['filegroup'] | String | The group name who should own the files in the application | apache |
| ['frontaccounting']['company'] | Array | Information about each company in the Frontaccounting database.

['dbhost'] = "localhost" ['dbname'] = "frontacc" ['dbuser'] = "frontacc" |
Set up a Web server, for instance using the httpd cookbook. If you are using nginx or other servers, you may need additional work to make php work.
Set any attributes you need as non-default.
Specify the database password using the node.run_state[:frontaccounting_dbpw] mechanism:
node.run_state[:frontaccounting_dbpw] = 'password'
Include frontaccounting in your node's run_list:
{
"run_list": [
"recipe[frontaccounting::default]"
]
}After this cookbook is installed, FrontAccounting will have a single company. The COA, user names and passwords come from the database en_US-demo.sql that are shipped with FrontAccounting. As of this writing, the initial user names and passwords are:
| admin | password |
| demouser | password |
You should immediately change the user names and passwords for these users.
