Title: XOOPS CONTENT MANAGEMENT
Post by: Chaloner Hale on June 05, 2003, 06:59:43 PM
If you want a very easy CMS look at www.xoops.org. I installed it in an iBay in less than a minute. Very slick and very configurable.

To install in an iBay, first create the an iBay. I used xoops. Download the the tarball into any work directory and extract it with tar -zxvf xoops-2.0.2.tar.gz. Change into the extracted directory with;

# cd xoops-2.0.2

Copy all files to your xoops iBay with;

# cp -Rf * /home/e-smith/files/ibays/xoops

Create the database with;

# mysqladmin create xoops

Create user and priviledges with;

# mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 12187 to server version: 3.23.41

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> grant all on xoops.* to xoops@localhost identified by 'yourpassword';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> quit
Bye

Use your browser and go to www.yourdomain.com/xoops and the install will start automatically. Use the database name, user and password used in creating the database and voila!

Chaloner, what are you using for your site's main web page? XOOPS, GEEKLOG or one of the nuke variants?

To tell you the truth I forget. I think it is Geeklog but I would have to check. It has been quite some time since touching it....

I will say that when I have time I think I would be inclined to play with Xoops...  and covert one mess to another...

Don't forget to delete the "index.html" in the created ibay ... ;-)
