Before install it ensure that you have already installed Apache, PHP (with GD module) and MySQL. If you do not know how to do it, contact with your sysadmin or read the following documents in order to do it yourself:
In addition, you need to have the convert utility installed on your system. This utility is part of the Image Magick package that is freely available from www.imagemagick.org.
Installation Process:
Configure Apache to serve the folder where you want to install the HomeSite Maker code (/export/www/homesitemaker for example). If you do not know how to do it, you may need to learn something about DocumentRoot or VirtualHost entries in the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf).
After that, login into the system as root user. Download the source file (homesitemaker-vX.X.tar.gz) and decompress it into the folder defined in the previous step.(/export/www/homesitemaker).
cd /export/www wget homesitemaker.no-ip.org/release/homesitemaker-v0.2.tar.gz tar -zxvf homesitemaker-v0.2.tar.gz
Edit the website configuration file in order to establish the database user and their password before starting to build your site.
cd /export/www/homesite vi includes/config_site.php
Change the default values of the following variables:
Create the MySQL database according with these values:
mysqladmin -u root -p create homesite_db mysql -u root -p mysql> GRANT select,insert,update,delete ON homesite_db.* TO homesite_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'homesite_passwd'; mysql>quit Bye mysql -u root -p homesite_db < database/homesite_db-v0.2-4.sql
Congratulations! You are ready to deal with the next section: build your own website.
Upgrading from previous version:
Since the 0.4.6 version, there is a script available to help you upgrading your web site. You will find it inside the Homesite Maker package. This script will help you to upgrade the code between versions. Just run script and use the attached SQL file to upgrade the database (if necesary). Use a command like the following one to upgrade your database:
