Re: [Slashcode-general] subnet requirement on sotry link.

[Faye G. <fgi...@st...>]

Hi,

  I wanted to use Slashcode for a forum but felt that setting up a sub 
domain was a bit overkill. BTW I am the Sys Admin.

  So far I've taken mysql 5.0.27, apache 1.3.37 and last Fridays CVS 
head of slash code and a custom CPAN config file and got a working slash 
setup, all done as non root.

  It did involve several bug reports to CPAN package owners and 
HTML-Calendar is still broke BTW, it has to be installed by hand. It's 
the "make test", I've reported it to the author.

  Everything so far has been scripted so I'll probably make a HOWTO of 
it later. I did have to hack the top level slash makefile to pass PREFIX 
and LIB args to the various perl install steps. Expect a patch for that 
soon.

  I've also found what I think is a bug in 'install-slashsite' in the 
handling of the "-L" arg. I found it late last night so I'm going to sit 
  on it until I'm sure.

  My next problem is that the setup won't currently compile on 64 bit. 
But that's an apache problem.

  Anyway it would be nice if there was an easy way to tell slash to use 
relative paths or CGI args for sections rather than sub domains.

Yours
