Topic: livejournal on SME server, is it possible?

[Chris]

Long story short i have some friends going over seas that wanna keep a journal, i offered some space, but don't know if an install is possible. I  am not an expert on installing a package not made for the SME OS. Anyone install this program or something like it?
Here is some info on the install:

There shouldn't be any problem installing LJ on a 5.6+ SME box. I haven't done so, but having a quick look at the requirements it looks like it shouldn't be a problem.

The one thing you will need to look at are the Perl Modules:
DBI   libdbi-perl
DBD::mysql   libdbd-mysql-perl
Digest::MD5   libdigest-md5-perl
Image::Size   libimage-size-perl
MIME::Lite   libmime-lite-perl
MIME::Words   libmime-perl
Compress::Zlib   libcompress-zlib-perl
MIME::Base64   libmime-base64-perl
URI::URL   liburi-perl
HTML::Tagset   libhtml-tagset-perl
HTML::Parser   libhtml-parser-perl
LWP::Simple   libwww-perl
LWP::UserAgent   libwww-perl
Mail::Address   libmailtools-perl
Unicode::MapUTF8   libunicode-maputf8-perl
Storable   libstorable-perl

I have all of these on my boxen, but they may not have come stock with SME, but there are rpm's available. Mod-perl will be the biggie.

mod_perl is an apache module not a perl module, but if you don;t have it installed there are instructions on contribs.org.
