[Mod-pubsub-developer] New installation instructions

[Joyce P. <tru...@ya...>]

Hi guys, I've just checked in a new INSTALL document, hopefully much
more idiot-proof.  I added a troubleshooting section with some of the
many issues I ran into during my various installation attempts.  Some
questions:

1)  I'm finding it hard to believe any Windows user could build and
run this thing.  Am I wrong?  Is there any way we could make it
easier for the Windows masses?

2)  I hate the whole .htaccess thing, and think it causes a lot of
trouble.  Are people really going to be running the mod_pubsub server
in situations where they won't have access to httpd.conf?  If not,
it's much more foolproof to suggest they set the ExecCGI stuff in a
<Location> block inside httpd.conf rather than fooling with
.htaccess.  I suggest we make this the default.  Anyone opposed?

3)  You're supposed to create a world-writeable directory called
kn_events -- but after the mod_pubsub server starts writing to that
directory, you have to change the permissions again to make its
subdirectories world-writeable too.  I think this is a bug, I'm going
to file it.

4)  In my tests at home, I'm only getting about one event per second
or two.  Does anyone know how to speed this thing up any?

I just got a dedicated server, so I'm planning to throw a mod_pubsub
instance up there this week -- any of you who want to play on it, let
me know.  JP
