I've just tried installing BE-web, per instructions at bibledit.org
(google project). In some places I had to guess what to do, but
everything did seem to go according to the directions (in blue), up
until the fourth step below (green), from
http://bibledit.org/demo/help/001ubuntu1004server.php.
sudo make install
Yes. I got a message(be-web.txt) attached, saying my installation
prefix is '/usr' and my Web server document root is '/var/www'.
Test the web server. Open the site in the browser. It should
say something like
It works!
This did seem to work. I opened file:///var/www/index.html came up
with this message. Typing "localhost" as a browser address gives me
the same message.
Setup Bibledit-Web. Open the setup url in the browser. If the
site is "site.com", then this will be something like:
http://site.org/bibledit/setup.php
Yes. I tried this, and discovered that I had missed installing php, so
I did install php, then when I typed "localhost/bibledit/setup.php"
something ran, giving me this message:
Site setup
Please scroll down to see all messages
Ok: Web server username www-data
Ok: Files are writeable
Error: Smarty compile directory is not writeable
Bibledit-Web should now be ready, and accessible through:
http://site.org/bibledit
from here on it's not working. I can't figure out how to access
bibledit. http://localhost/bibledit gives me a blank page.
file:///var/web/bibledit gives me a directory of what's in that
folder, but when I select one of those php files I get "what program
do you want to use to run this file".
http://localhost/bibledit/index.php also gives me a blank page, though
I can see "index.php" in /var/web/bibledit/.
Obviously I'm missing something... PHP does seem to run--it works with
that one file 'setup.php'. Is "http://localhost"; a different location
from "file:///var/web"? If so, where is it?
The Bibledit instructions are not too clear in some places. I guess I
sort of mixed up the instructions from these three pages:
http://bibledit.org/demo/help/installation.php --this page has links
for v 0.1 on different Ubuntus, but it sent me to
http://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/community/development to get v
0.2 from the repository. Then I did make etc., through sudo make
install, and finally I remembered to look at
http://bibledit.org/demo/help/001ubuntu1004server.php, which mentioned
installing these packages, which I did.
phpmyadmin php5-cli git-core curl
I redid ./configure, make, sudo make install after this (told php to
work with mysql because I'd installed it per a note on
http://bibledit.org/demo/help/installation.php. I googled to figure
out how to install mysql; I ended up installing these pkgs:
libgtk2.0-dev git-core rcs curl libsqlite3-dev libenchant-dev
libgtkhtml3.14-dev libgtksourceview2.0-dev libwebkit-dev texlive-xetex
and
php5-mysql mysql-server phpmyadmin php5-cli git-core curl
Help or advice would be welcome.
Thanks, Kim
