Install Instructions for Jinzora

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jinzora/jz275.tar.gz
  • Untar the app into a location of your choice say in your home directory (with tar -xzvf jz275.tar.gz)
  • This creates a folder called jinzora2
  • In the case of jinzora, it needs the following step:
rm jinzora2/.htaccess
  • Create an Amahi web app in the Web Apps tab, under setup
  • For the root path of the app, point it to the root path of the web app you just untarred (/home/USERNAME/jinzora2/)
  • Create the app - give it a name of your choice, say jinzora
  • The app should be available as http://jinzora
  • Note that that url may take a bit to propagate. You can also try http://jinzora.home.com (assuming home.com is your home domain), which may propagate faster.
  • At this point your basic app configuration should be up and running. The next step is to create a mysql database and a user for it. See this page (except use, say, jinzora for the username and jinzora for the password, or whatever you like): http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=71&p=229#p229
  • After that, jinzora should be ready to continue install ...
