This document will briefly describe the steps needed before one can
complete the Status.net installation. After taking these steps you
should be able to browse to http://<hostname>/statusnet/install.php
and complete the installation.
Please refer to http://gitorious.org/statusnet/mainline/blobs/master/README
for a complete overview of how to setup Status.net with advanced features.
== Apache ==
You should point the Status.net installation directory to the
DocumentRoot of your web-server:
# ln -s ../statusnet /var/www/htdocs/statusnet
(make sure you use a relative symlink since Apache is chrooted)
== MySQL==
Please add the php-mysql package to enable MySQL support in PHP.
MySQL users running with chroot'ed httpd might like to take the
following steps to place the mysql socket inside the chroot:
Create a directory for the mysql socket.
mkdir -p /var/www/var/run/mysql
Adjust your my.cnf to put the mysql socket into the chroot,
[client]
socket = /var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqld]
socket = /var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
and set DBSocket in the Status.net configuration appropriately.
Now connect to MySQL and create a user and database for Status.net:
mysqladmin -u "username" --password="password" create statusnet
mysql> GRANT ALL on statusnet.*
TO 'statusnet'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED BY 'statnetpassword';
== PostgreSQL ==
Please add the php-pqsql package to enable PostgreSQL support in PHP.
Assuming you have an administrative account named `postgres',
you can create the 'statusnet' user and database like this:
createuser -U postgres --pwprompt --no-superuser \
--createdb --no-createrole statusnet
Now you can create the database for Status.net with:
pgsql -U statusnet
psql> create database statusnet
psql> \q
