Install Instructions for Jinzora

(Note this will be automated with one-click install)

• Create the install directory/web-app
  • goto http://setup
  • select the web-apps tab
  • click create new button and use the name "jinzora"

• navigate to the web-apps directory
  • from the command prompt

         cd /var/hda/web-apps/jinzora

• Download the Jinzora tarball - As of this writing, at: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jinzora/jz275.tar.gz
  • Form the command line enter

        wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jinzora/jz275.tar.gz

• remove the automatically created directory html. From the command line:

        rmdir html

• Untar the app: From the command line:

        tar -xzvf jz275.tar.gz

• This puts the .tar contents into the folder called jinzora2
• rename the folder "jinzora2" to the new name "html"

        mv jinzora2 html
       

• configure the security access .htaccess file (edit the file):

        nano /var/hda/web-apps/jinzora/html/.htaccess

• As the first character in all lines put a # then press ctrl-x, and y and "enter" to save
• 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.

• After that, jinzora should be ready to continue install ...
• Navigate to the jinzora directory

         cd /var/hda/web-apps/jinzora/html

• Your web server needs write permissions to some of the Jinzora files. To write log files and cached pages for example. We've created a script called 'configure.sh' that sets the required permissions. First, the script needs to be made executable:

         chmod 744 configure.sh

• Run the script to set permissions:

         sh ./configure.sh

• Create a databsae for jinzora to use

         hda-create-db-and-user jinzora2

(database name=jinzora2, username=jinzora2 and password=jinzora2)

At this point your basic app configuration should be up and running. Launch Jinzora and follow the instructions.

• Use a browser and go to http://jinzora/
• Now you can setup jinzora

(at the end you will have to remove the install directory at some point):

    rm -rf /var/hda/web-apps/jinzora/html/install
