Hello Peter...
Sorry i didn't get back earlier... i was away for the weekend. Anyway, I'll
walk through the steps I took to get it all up and running. I'm going to
assume that you started where I am, that is with very little knowledge of
Midgard and the RaQ3. I appologize if some of it is way too basic, but
hopefully this will make it as easy as possible.
You should check out some of the documentation on the CVS distribution... I
followed the installation instructions in the midgard/doc directory. Most
of below is from the details about installing on a RaQ, but I will go
through some differences I encountered on my RaQ3, which I believe you may
come across. Anyway, you can access CVS via the web at
http://www.midgard-project.com/cvsweb.pl/ . I also installed version
1.4beta4; however, my understanding is that the installation should be about
the same. (http://www.midgard-project.com/article/8325.html)
1) Install MySQL
(a) You can easily do this with the MySQL RPMs available at
http://www.mysql.com or at Cobalt's ftp site
(ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/raq3).
Do not install the MySQL Shared RPM (at least at this time).
(b)I installed it via the tarball from the MySQL site.
(i)To install via the tarball simply change to the directory in which
mysql was unpacked.
(ii)./configure --disable-shared --with-mysqld-ldflags="-all-static" --with-
client-ldflags="-all-static"
(iii) make
(iv)make install
(v)./scripts/mysql_install_db
(vi)/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld&
(note that the install directions tell you to execute
/usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld& however, safe_mysqld was not located in
that directory when _I_ installed MySQL)
2) Install Midgard Library
(a) I used 1.4beta4 from the tarball (even thouugh it is possible to use
RPM source I believe, I failed to get that to work on the RaQ3)
(i) LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/mysql" ./configure --with-sitegroups
(note that the instructions state to use LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql"
unfortunately for me MySQL installed into /usr/local/lib/. Perhaps I did
something wrong; but Midgard is working).
(also note, that sitegroups I understand is not available with the 1.2.5
release, but check that out with the list, that's just my recollection).
(ii) make
(iii) make install
You may see an error during the make process saying that this library
requires shared libraries, etc., etc. I just kept going despite it cause
we'll use commands to point to the static mysql modules.
3) Install Data
(a) This is easy and the instructions are in the tar'd release.
(i) mysqladmin create midgard
(ii) mysql midgard < tables.sql
(iii) mysql midgard < midgard-en.sql # for the english content, or
mysql midgard < midgard-ru.sql # if you prefer russian.
(iv) mysql mysql
Then at the MySQL prompts:
mysql> INSERT INTO user (Host,User,Password)
-> VALUES ('localhost','midgard',Password('midgard'));
mysql> INSERT INTO db (Host,User,Db,Select_priv,Insert_priv,
Update_priv,Delete_priv)
-> VALUES ('localhost','midgard','midgard','Y','Y','Y','Y');
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
4) Install Midgard Module
(a) This should be pretty straight forward
(i?) PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
(You may need to specify where to find Apache and apxs. I believe this is
where I did it at. That way you shouldn't get an error saying it couldn't
find apxs or something to that sort. Just specifying in the ./configure
command (e.g., --with-apache=/usr/sbin) does not seem to work).
(i)
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/lib -lmidgard -lmysqlclient"
./configure
(Like when installing Midgard-lib, I had to change -L/usr/lib/mysql
to -L/usr/local/lib/mysql to reflect where mysql was located).
(ii) make
(iii) make install
(iv) make conf
5) Install Midgard-PHP
(I had made sure I uninstalled any version of PHP, but that was just a
precaution [and the fact that I crashed my server and needed to reinstall
everything] but I do believe it wont cause problems if you don't uninstall
other versions of PHP).
(i) CC=cc
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/lib -lmidgard -lmysqlclient"
./configure --with-midgard --with-apache --with-mysql --with-pg
(Three notes, once again I changed -L/usr/local/lib/mysql
to -L/usr/local/lib/mysql. Also, Apache on my RaQ was compiled with cc as
opposed to gcc. Therefore, PHP wants to be compiled with cc. Thus the
added command at the beginning of CC=cc. Thirdly, I also included
PostgreSQL support with PHP [the last --with]).
(ii) make
(iii) make install
6) Update httpd.conf
(a)This is outlined in the INSTALL file I believe. Or check the
documentation at http://www.midgard-project.com. The installation walk
through for 1.1.1 is still pretty relevant)
(i) I found I had to change the library directories for php3_module
and midgard_module to
LoadModule midgard_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_midgard.so
LoadModule php3_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp3.so
(ii)I also had to uncomment AddModule mod_php3.c
(iii) You may want to change LogLevel to debug in case there is a
problem restarting the apache server
(iv) Follow the rest of the directions in the documentation for
setting up the httpd.conf file
7) Update the mysql tables to reflect the virtual servers you identified in
your httpd.conf file.
I believe that's about it.... just restart your server. Any problems see
what the error logs state. I can try to help you out. I did most of this
from memory, but I believe it should be fairly accurate. Maybe someone
wants to just go over them for accuracy.
Hope this helps... Again, I'll try to answer any questions, but I too am new
to this.
Drew
