Follow these instruction to create a version of the ISFDB to run on your home Linux system. These instruction do not include setting up the ISFDB wiki.
Setup the Web server
The ISFDB code relies on a web server. Apache is a good choice for this. The basic instructions are:
- Download the software. For Linux this is generally a source distribution, found at http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi.
- Following the build instructions. In general, you should expect to uncompress, untar, run configure, run make, and run make install.
- Setup the system so that apache start automatically after a boot. First copy the startup/kill script from the apache installation to the standard Linux location:
cd /usr/local/apache2/bin cp apachectl /etc/init.d/httpd
- Next setup the Start and Kill scripts from runstate 3 by creating symbolic links:
cd /etc/rc3.d ln -s ../init.d/httpd S85httpd ln -s ../init.d/httpd K85httpd
- Next setup the Start and Kill scripts from runstate 5 by creating symbolic links:
cd /etc/rc5.d ln -s ../init.d/httpd S85httpd ln -s ../init.d/httpd K85httpd
- Finally, if you want to startup Apache without a reboot:
cd /etc/init.d sh httpd start
- You should now be able to point a browser at you machine's IP address and see something.
