RE: [Openinteract-help] oi2 installation

[Cole K. <cke...@vi...>]

Turns out SQLite was installed, but I needed Apache::Session::SQLite.
Installing that got rid of the related failed tests during 'make test', but
the failure related to manage_create_website remained.

I still have the same problem with installing the web site. I'm running
oi2_manage as root from within /usr/local/OpenInteract-1.99_00, where I
unpacked the distribution.  I'm using --source_dir=. as the instructions say
to.  The website dir is /home/cole/oi2, in my home directory when I'm not
root. Everything else (template files, etc.) gets created there without
problem.  (By the way, the INSTALL.website file created there refers to
oi_manage rather than oi2_manage.  Is that correct?)
OpenInteract-1.99_00/pkg exists and contains the .zip files.  I changed
permissions to allow anyone to read & execute those zip files.  Still have
the same problem...

The tests use SQLite to create a website, store data, etc. If you
could install the module it would be a help.

That's odd... when you create the website what is your source
directory set to? That is, you should have something like this:

# OI2 distribution unpacked to /path/to/build/OpenInteract-1.99_00

  /path/to/build/OpenInteract-1.99_00/pkg/...
  /path/to/build/OpenInteract-1.99_00/sample/...

$ oi2_manage create_website \
      --website_dir=/path/to/mysite \
      --source_dir=/path/to/build/OpenInteract-1.99_00

And /path/to/build/OpenInteract-1.99_00 must be readable by the user
executing the command and have 'pkg/base_box-2.01.zip' and all the
other files.

The next beta (1.99_01) should be out by Wednesday evening and will
have (among other things) a 'create_source_dir' task so you don't
have to keep using the distribution directory (which is often
unpacked by root in /root or some other inaccessible place).

Later,

Chris
