#1 Install difficulty...

[MilousTale]

I'm fascinated by the possibilities of this tool. I've been trying to install it for some time so far without success...

I'd really appreciate some help installing it on my laptop - I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 with Apache2 Perl 5 and Postgresql 8.2 and with TWiki installed and running

Here's what I've done and feeling unsure about using your install text file as a template:

Requirements:
postgresql-server - installed and running

postgresql-pl - can't find this package in Ubuntu repositories - I can find a postgresql-plpearl-8.2

libdbd-pg-perl - installed

Installation:
1) untar golix.*.tgz to inst_dir (/var/www/html/golix)
done!

2) cd inst_dir
3) create DB for golix:
$ su - postgres
$ createdb golix
$ psql golix < ip/create_db.sql

Done

4) install TWiki

Done - using Ubuntu repositories into /var/www/twiki

5) create new web in TWiki (for example Tasks)

Done -

6) set vars in const/Vars.cfg and .htaccess (both in golix inst. dir),

Done

copy .htaccess from golix dir to twiki dir

copied to /var/www/twiki

7) set paths in golix/twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/GolixPlugin.pm and in
golix/twiki/templates/Tasks/*

Nothing seemed to need changing - Is this where i've gone wrong?

8) copy golix/twiki to twiki dir

copied contents of golix/twiki to /var/www/twiki - Is this correct? Should it be the Task web I created in TWiki?

9) copy apache.conf-golix to apache2 conf.d directory and rename it on
golix

I did the following...
sudo cp /var/www/golix/apache.conf-golix /etc/apache2/conf.d/golix

If I now browse to my localhost/golix/index.cgi the file is displayed in the browser...

Thanks for reading through and good luck with this interesting idea

Installing the TWiki PlugIn

The directory structures of the TWiki installation that results from an apt-get install or synaptic installation is not the same as the usual installation.

The Perl module GolixPlugin.pm goes into:

/usr/share/perl5/TWiki/Plugins

GolixPlugin.txt goes into

/var/lib/twiki/data/TWiki

I've not worked out the template location yet.

The result of installing the plugin correctly and changing the paths in the files that have to be edited is that I can now login to Golix and I can see all the tabs along the top - Unfortunately i have an internal server error. Still, progress!
