Hi,
finally, after loading the Midgard CVS on David's recommendation, I've
got Midgard to compile, but still not to WORK.
- I installed /lib /mod/ /php4 and /data from the CVS snapshot dd.
yesterday. All packages compiled without problems on suse 7.1, kernel
2.2.18.
- I have libphp4.so midgard-root.php and midgard.so in usr/lib/apache
- the midgard database ist installed; on /dbinstall I selected
"ASGARDSITE"
- Startup of apache is without probs, so I assume that the modules and
libraries from midgard load as they should.
- I needed to put the /usr/lib/apache/ path (where midgard.so resides)
into /etc/ld.so.conf. Otherwise I got "Cannot get midgard module
descriptor in Unknown on line 0" from the php preparser when executing
other .php3 projects and those projects were blocked - even when
"extension = " was defined WITH the path included. Maybe this should be
recommended more intensively to installers in the future.
I still can't get more than the plain source text from any *.mdg files.
The midgard-data.conf states:
--------------------------------
MidgardDatabase midgard midgard midgard
## Uncomment these if you want to use filetemplates
# MidgardTemplate phpelements.xml
# AddType application/x-httpd-php-midgard .mgd
## Uncomment this for PHP3,
## MidgardRootFile "/usr/lib/apache/midgard-root.php3"
## or this for PHP4
MidgardRootFile "/usr/lib/apache/midgard-root.php"

</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
--------------------------------
The dbinstall replies during install were ok, except:
" REPLIGARD/READ-Message: ERROR OPENING FILE Asgard-1.4.1.xml.gz
gzip: Asgard-1.4.1.xml.gz: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden"
There is no such file in the CVS. I grabbed it from the /data tarballs
and re-started dbinstall which imported something. At the end of
dbinstall I was asked to connect Midgard through [servername]/admin/.
But there was no such directory created, so I assume this info is wrong.
I copied example/ and midgard/ from the snapshot/data/images path (this
was mentioned in INSTALL). Both contain no code except pics. I also
copied the data/filetemplates/ft-en branch into DOC-ROOT/midgard2. I
accessed DOCROOT/midgard2/index.mdg but only get the source code back.
I am still not clear about the last steps: Why do I need the admin and
example files? They contain no source/code data. And where is the real
code stuff then? Is everythig grabbed from the Midgard database? And
why then do I not have any connects there?
>From my point of view, the INSTALL description contains a number of
uncertainties, not all information is really clear. The subsequent
steps to get a running install should be completely reworked - only
"code-nerds" will understand it right now. Some kind of "block scheme"
would be helpful too. I am still confused about how all these things go
together ...
And finally: I've put more then 2 workdays into all my attempts, with
NO result. For admins with less patience, this alone would be a "nail
in the coffin" against using Midgard ;-(.
