OK,
telnet localhost 80 gives me this:
trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: connection refused
trying 127.0.0.1...
connected to localhost
escape character is '^]".
Then I type:
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
<e>
<e>
And I get:
http/1.1 authorization required
date.......whatever
server: apache 1.3.12.........
www-authentication: basic-realm="midgard"
connection:close
Is this the correct response? My guess, I don't think so.
This is going to take a lllllllong time.
My own experience, it's easier to tell people how to do it right than it
is to try to tell them what they did wrong. I would be glad to help
with the install documentation, because what I've read is weak. There
are several versions of how to install all the packages and for someone
like me, that is new to these particular things, there's too much to
leave to 'figuring it out' or the mailing list for help. I'd like to
see a cookbook install. There is a little bit of that in 1 of the
INSTALL: cd here, type this, do that. Most install doc I read is way
to wordy. Like in the movie Amadeus, the King tells Amadeus 'there are
too many notes'. I had a pile of papers on my desk, hard copies of
this, handwritten notes from list or the web. I'll bet that the entire
install process for all the products related to Midgard could fit on 2
pages, 8 1/2 by 11.
I've installed other complex software, that comes documented in whole
books. I end up crossing out major portions, highlighting a few
relevant lines here and there, to come up with what I need to do. Many
times, I don't have time to think about the install or upgrade, because
I may have a window of time to work in. I'll end up with a a page or 2
of precise commands that work, every time. That's what I'd like to see
the Midgard install look like, hey all the open source stuff could use
some rewriting.
I don't know what's next, I guess I'll go back thru the 8 or 10
readme's, install files, read the web pages (written by the lucky soul
that got everything installed) and I'll piece together what I should
have done from the beginning. I'll get this installed and working, but
not because I think this is a great piece of software. Maybe later,
I'll be able to say it was worth it.
thanks for letting me vent and I'd be glad to help write some things
up...
