I used pyblosxom for a while around version 1.3 (I think) and I'm now
back trying it again. I'm not doing too well at the moment. I'm
trying to install the 1.5 beta version on ubuntu 9.10 server.
So, I'll run through what I have done:-
Get the code
svn co https://pyblosxom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pyblosxom/trunk/pyblosxom/ pyblosxom
As root, run the install
python setup.py install
So far, so good, no errors. However this is where I get a little
confused. I have copied pyblosxom.cgi to my CGI directory, now I
need to get config.py onto my python path. As installed, config.py
is /var/www/pyblosxom/Pyblosxom/data/config.py but I don't really
want it there. Which bits of the tree do I need to move to my
blog directory?
I assumed that I need to move the Pyblosxom directory to become
the blog directory on my web server, so
mv /var/www/pyblosxom/Pyblosxom /var/www/boatBlog
and my 'basedir' is thus /var/www/boatBlog. Have I got this right?
So I put sys.path.append("/var/www/boatBlog/data") in pyblosxom.cgi
and when I run the test I get
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi test
Exception: Plugin directory '%(basedir)s/plugins' does not exist.
Please check your config file
In config.py there is
blogdir = "%(basedir)s"
Is that "%(basedir)s" anything special or just a placeholder, i.e.
should I just replace it with
blogdir = "/var/www/boatBlog"
and create a /var/www/boatBlog/plugins directory? It just seems a
little odd that the plugins directory isn't there already.
Anyway, having done all this I get no errors when I run the test
of the CGI script.
Now, this is where I've run out of steam, when I run
pyblosxom-cmd create ./blog/
I get the following error traceback
root@server:/var/www/pyblosxom# pyblosxom-cmd create ./blog/

After doing that, to create a blog you do: % pyblosxom-cmd create <dir> and that's it. PyBlosxom builds the directory structure for your blog with flavour files and pyblosxom.cgi and config.py files. Sounds like you should read through the README and INSTALL files. There are a lot of changes in PyBlosxom 1.5 specifically to make it easy to install. /will |

Looking harder at the above error it seems as if there should be a config.py in the installation somewhere that can't be found. -- Chris Green |

After a clean installation if I run 'pyblosxom-cmd create <dir>' in the installed pyblosxom directory (i.e. the directory where there is a data directory and the Pyblosxom directory) then the create works, but if I run it anywhere els it fails with the error I reported. -- Chris Green |

Thanks Will.
By the way I think part of my problem with installing 1.5 was that it
is actually much simpler than it used to be. I.e. just about *all*
one needs to do is:-
Unpack the code
run 'python setup.py install'
run 'pyblosxom-cmd create ./blog/'
Then go and configure a few things. I had been reading what is in the docs
directory and doing stuff I found in there before running pyblosxom-cmd
and I think that's where I was getting a bit lost. I also hadn't
realised (thought through properly that is!) that no part of the
unpacked tar file is needed for the installation to work after you've
done what's above. I was somehow thinking that stuff in either the
pyblosxom or the Pyblosxom directories had to be visible to apache for
it to work.
(I had also added to my confusion by installing on my headless server
system via an NFS mount - that's my problem!)
