- ant (a java-based make)
-1. checkout the cvs:
-cvs -d :pserver: cvsanon@brazil.indymedia.de:/var/cvs login
-password: cvs
-cvs -d :pserver: cvsanon@brazil.indymedia.de:/var/cvs lco mir

2. customize the config:
-cd mir/source
-cp config.properties-dist to config.properties
-edit config.properties
-3. configure the build.sh file with java_home
+ cd mir/source
+ cp config.properties-dist config.properties
+
+now customize config.properties for your needs.
+
+
+3. configure the build.sh file with java_home
+ cp build.sh-dist build.sh
+ chmod 755 build.sh
-4. Link in the webapps directory of tomcat to the install directory (the directory is called Mir).
-5. copy the mir/template-dist-directory to mir/template
+4. copy the mir/template-dist-directory to mir/template
-6. run sh buil.sh
-7. create a new database (the dbname should be the same as in config.properties)
-as user postgres: createdb dbname
+5. compile
+ sh build.sh
-8. run psql dump of create_pg.sql:
-psql -Upostgres dbname < create_pg.sql
-8. run psql dump of help*.sql files.
+6. Link in the webapps directory of tomcat to the install directory (the
+directory is called "Mir" and is located in the same directory in which
+you installed the "mir" directory).
+ cd /usr/share/tomcat/webapps
+ ln -s Mir-install-dir Mir
+
+
+7. create a new database
+the database name should be the same as in config.properties
+as user postgres:
+ createdb dbname
+
+
+8. create base table
+ psql -Upostgres dbname < dbscripts/create_pg.sql
+ cat dbscript/help*.sql | psql -Upostgres dbname
9. chmod 777 Mir/log
11. configure mod_jk
-12. now the admin-application is accesable by: http://host/Mir and the openposting-servlet by http://host/OpenMir>
+insert the following patch into /etc/apache/httpd.conf. Edit the directories
+to suit your needs.
+
+<IfModule mod_jk.c>
+JkWorkersFile /usr/share/tomcat/conf/workers.properties
+Include /usr/share/tomcat/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto
+</IfModule>
+
+Do not put any JkMount lines into your httpd.conf!
+
+If mod_jk.conf-auto doesn't get written or is 0 bytes in size, check your
+system for file ownership/permissions problems.
+
+
+12. Add a password to your PostgreSQL user and link it to Mir (optional)
+
+Add a hard to guess password to the PostgreSQL user database:
+
+# psql -U postgres Mir
+alter user postgres with password 'yourpassword';
+
+
+Then, in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf you should make sure that nobody can
+use the database without a password:
+
+local all password
+host all 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 password
+host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 reject
+
+
+Then, change the database password line in config.properties:
+
+Database.Username=postgres
+Database.Password=yourpassword
+
+You should make sure that no copy of config.properties (neither in mir nor
+in Mir/src nor in Mir/WEB-INF/classes) is world-readable. Else you wouldn't
+have to install a password, anyway.
+
+If you can't access PostgreSQL after this for any reason, try to change
+"password" in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf into "trust". This should disable
+any authentication method and make the database accessible again.
+
+that's it :)
+
+now the admin-application is accesable via:
+
+ http://host/Mir
+
+and the openposting-servlet via
+
+ http://host/OpenMir
+
+standard login is redaktion/indymedia
