Step 4: Administration

Your Nuke site is now operational! Point your browser to the website’s administration section:

http://<yournukedomain>/admin.php

You will need to create a Superuser account immediately. Once that is completed you can begin exploring your Nuke installation.

[ElgertS]

Step 3: Configuration

Open the file “config.php” and fill in the information it requires for the following variables:

$dbhost: <yourservername> (this can be localhost in most cases)
$dbuname: <mysqlusername>
$dbpass: <mysqluserpassword>
$dbname: <mysqlnukedbname>

[ElgertS]

Step 2: Installation

Copy the “html” folder to the location you want to serve your Nuke site from. Configure the web server appropriately for the site hosting.

Now open PHPMyAdmin and create a database for Nuke. This can be named whatever you choose. by default each wants the database named after itself: “nuke” for PHPNuke & “postnuke” for Postnuke.

Go to the SQL option in PHPMyAdmin within your new database and select “Choose File”. Within the SQL directory of your initial project download folder you will find the code for creating the database.

Step 1: Download Nuke

Download the PHPNuke or Postnuke source code from their respective websites:

PHPNuke: http://www.phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1

Postnuke: http://download.hostnuke.com/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=34

In both the compressed file will generate a folder containing the project. Both structure their installs the same way starting with a project root folder named along with the current release. Inside of this are a variety of readme files and additional folders for SQL code, upgrading, and a folder called “html”. The “html” folder is where the Nuke projects actually reside. All the php scripts including index.php are found in this home directory for your Nuke site. The full Nuke documentation is found in there as well.

I haven’t tried it over VPN yet. Haven’t gotten that far. It feels fairly nice over ARD. I am running Jaguar on my laptop so I can’t run it directly, but over ARD it is fine, just that no response issue was fairly lame. I am on a 3mb cable connection and it is on a T1 line. The other server is on a dual T1 so that feels very nice.

I am very excited about the CLI. I hope to eventually get time to connect a PHP interface to manage websites and email that interacts with the CLI. That will be very very nice!

I found that most if not all domains were changing suddenly to a particular one so I deleted this and recreated it. Since then things are working better. The problem started with aliasing and I still have to have that off. I had to create separate website entries for domain.com and http://www.domain.com. For those sites that also had names like domain.net I had to make two more entries. This is how I had to do it in Mac OS X 10.2. 10.3 should not have this requirement and I hope to find a resolution before moving all the rest of my domains later.

[ElgertS]

Actually, my problem is not just alias files apparently. Even the other websites will jump before my eyes. They will state the correct information and then suddenly leap to something completely different.

[ElgertS]

That makes me very happy to hear that! I have been waiting to migrate my mail server and around 50 or so domains and when I saw what the GUI was offering me I was in shock.

This issue aside, Panther looks fantastic for my client base and their server needs. I am very excited about moving forward on it!

The Fedora project has been updated to release 1.1. This is a bug fix release with few new features. New features include support for Oracle 9i & support for self-referential URLs.

[ElgertS]

I plan to start playing with Asterisk now that you have introduced it, in about two weeks when my schedule will permit spending the time on it. It sounds very good.

[ElgertS]

This sounds delicious. We definitely should pursue this project!

[ElgertS]

Well, without getting ridiculous, I will lay down my dreams on this one just a tad.

First, it just makes sense. We want to control our communications and not have to learn and utilize several different types of tools that do not interact with each other in an intelligent manner.

Second, wouldn’t it just be great if we could let this lead to even more cool things? What if we could listen to these messages not just via business phones but through our Macs? Its just audio data, why can’t QuickTime bring it to us? This would allow us to archive messages when necessary. If we had a powerful interface for controlling this system, we could build complex questions that will determine where particular callers end up, voice mail or forwarded to a cell phone for instance.

the DBD::mysql perl module was recently patched and the update broke Sympa. Sympa was patched the next day so you need to install or update to version 3.4.4.2 if you update or install the new DBD::mysql module.

[ElgertS]

I have not found a way to install suidperl on OS X Server yet and have been given some notes from the Sympa user list regarding an alternative solution involving changing the Apache user to Sympa. Does anyone know how to achieve this? I would imagine this must happen in NetInfo.

Here are the emails I received regarding this issue:

[quote:1fe0b6aa4b]If you don’t have suidperl on MasOS then you should unset the SetUID bit on wwsympa.fcgi (chmod u-s).
Then you have 3 solutions to run wwsympa.fcgi as the ‘sympa’ user :

1. ?Make your main Apache server run as user ‘sympa’
2. If you can not, run an Apache Virtual Host as user ‘sympa’
3. Have a try with sudo : http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/

Please let us know if you have some news about suidperl and MacOS…
[/quote:1fe0b6aa4b]

In addition to this one:

[quote:1fe0b6aa4b]Have a look to wwsympa first line. It must look like #!/usr/bin/perl just replace it with #!/usr/bin/perl -u

The best solutiopnn is probably to run apache as user sympa : there is 2 way to do it

-add “uid” and “gid” apache parameter in httpd.conf look at it in apache.org

-modify /etc/passwd and select the same uid/gid for both httpd| apache and for sympa
[/quote:1fe0b6aa4b]

[ElgertS]

I am not aware of anyone else. The projects I link to note that people have successfully compiled to OS X. I hope to start playing more with this very soon and see what can be done.
