Hmm i guess a mention of the required platform (php, extentions) plus
updated readme with full recent instructions might be in order indeed :)

Could you add this? Perhaps we could just modify the "building
shindig" page
(for lack of a better place) and have separate sections for java and
php.
The only things that probably need to be put there are prerequisites
(version + extensions) and configuration.

That is correct.
The PHP server and the Java server are two versions of the -same-
thing,
depending on your own environment and preferences you can pick the
one that
suits you the best.

to
build the Java server, so I don't even need to install Maven. Is
this
true?

Hi Erel,
The easiest way to get up and running (the README is slightly out
of data
/
missing details, should update it):
(assuming /var/www/html is where your document root's live)
# cd /var/www/html
# mkdir shindig
# cd shindig
# svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/trunk/ .
Point your apache to the php dir with a virtual host like:
<VirtualHost your_ip:your_port>
ServerName your_host
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/shindig/php
... other normal settings in vhosts...
</VirtualHost>
Restart apache, and point your browser to http://
<yourhost>/gadgets/ifr?url=
http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
If you have all the requirements (php 5.2.x with the json, mcrypt
and
curl
extentions enabled) you should see something like:
http://shindig.chabotc.com/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
Note: shindig php requires the <trunk>/javascript ,/config and /
features
directories.. thats why you need a full checkout of shindig. If
you want
to
put those somewhere else on your server, edit config.php to
reflect their
new locations.
Hope it helps!

Hi,
I would like to support OpenSocial on my site, so I downloaded
Shindig.
My
site is mostly in PHP so I went to the readme file titled
"Installing
and
Running The PHP Shindig Gadget Server" (
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/trunk/php/README)
. It
says
"Copy the files to your web root" - what files exactly should I
copy? I
tried copying the entire directory tree under "php" but it
didn't work -
it
does not contain a file named "ifr".
Another question: Is it possible to use only the Javascript
files that
are
bundled with Shindig, without building Shindig?
