I am running Debian Jessie. I wish to use the blogging package Blosxom, which was written in Perl, about fifteen years ago. The last development work on Blosxom appears to have been done about ten years ago.
The original CGI script and documentation are available on sourceforge, http://blosxom.sourceforge.net/documentation/users/; all configuration parameters are in the Perl script. Debian has a Blosxom package which allows use of a separate configuration file. The Debian package places some files in locations other than the locations used in the original script. Blosxom can generate a web page dynamically in response to a web request; alternatively, Blosxom can generate a set of static web pages which can be uploaded to a remote web server. Blosxom also generates an RSS feed. I am interested in Blosxom primarily because it can publish entries composed entirely in plain text (but HTML formatting can be added, as desired). I have two specific problems, which the documentation does not seem to address: (1) I do not know how to trigger Blosxom in static mode. (2) Apache2 is running on this machine, but I do not know how to enable Apache to find and serve the blog which is produced, either dynamic or static. I would be grateful for assistance.
