Welcome! Glad to have another Deb user :) I did the deb pkg and didn't have THAT much of a hard time; just had to add the port in the ServerName in Apache2 - long story, check the friendly thread if you ever run into that issue from 12-2004 :)

I already replied on #midgard, but here is the same info as it could be useful to others as well.

If you're running "testing" or "unstable" this should be quite simple by using apt-get: http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/installation/distros/debian .html (Note: the same DEBs reputedly also work with Ubuntu, although you need to install the dialog package first) > The - empty - , pretty well default site is now up at: > http://www.privaterra.org:8001 Ok. And you'll see the "Welcome to Midgard" page in: http://www.privaterra.org:8001/midgard/ The "Getting started" instructions can be found from there: "To get started with Midgard, you need to do the following: * Log in to an administrative interface * Create a new organization * Create a new website for the organization * Create the style for the organization's website * Log in to the website and start creating content" > Apart from the default install, i have been able to change the default > password and install the Town Portal template.

You could start with these tutorial slides: http://www.nehmer.net/~bergie/oscom3/ http://www.nehmer.net/~bergie/south-africa-2004/ Let me know if you have any questions after reading them ;-) > I'd be more than happy to document the process on a blog , any > suggestions as to where i could post my journey into midgard... You can basically blog it using whatever software you like. As you already have Midgard running that could be a good alternative. To create a blog there, log into a Midgard site and click "Create page", the create a subtopic handled by the "News listing (de.linkm.newsticker)" component. Newsticker has the needed blogging features like an RSS feed (in /topicname/rss.xml) and MetaWeblog API support. Once you have the blog running please let me know and I'll add you to Planet Midgard: http://www.midgard-project.org/planet/ > Robert /Henri -- Henri Bergius [EMAIL PROTECTED] Consultant Partner Tel: +358-20-198 6032 Nemein Oy http://www.nemein.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
