Title: Ploticus on SME???
Post by: clm314159 on April 28, 2010, 12:57:21 AM

I am trying to get a mediawiki site up and running with the easytimeline add-on. So far, I have using PHP5 contrib (glad to read about the upgrade to php5 in SME v.8 coming soon), I have gotten the latest version of mediswiki to work. The easy time line add-on however, requires the ploticus program. I have tried to install it using the rpm and yum. Yum on SME is not configured with a repository that contains ploticus. The rpm that I downloaded wants more packages installed and it looks as if there is conflicts with the existing packages.

The install messages from rpm are at the end of this post.

At this point I got worried about breaking the server by overwriting some of these conflicting packages. So I was looking for some advice as to what to do next. Is there a way to install ploticus on SME? Or should I just install the whole site (mediawiki and easytimeline) on an Ubuntu server and set the approprate IP to go to the Ubuntu server in the "hostnames and addresses" menu item on the SME server manager?


Thanks for your time,
Chris

hi

enable Dag's (http://wiki.contribs.org/Dag) repository and you can install ploticus with (v 2.33, last is 2.41)

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=dag install ploticus

Stefano,
I tried your command and I got:

"Error getting repository data for dag.repo, repository not found".

I googled the problem and found that I need a dag.repo file in my /etc/yum.repos.d folder. I tried some examples from the web but they did not work. Could you or someone else post the contents of your /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo file?

Thanks,
Chris

The instructions in the wiki page referenced by Stefano create the dag repository in a manner that will help keep you from accidentally destroying your server.

Here's the link again: http://wiki.contribs.org/Dag

Thanks to both of you!

I got Ploticus installed.

I totally missed that there was a link on "Dag's" in Stefano's reply. I am really glad that there was a contrib for enabling that respository because as you say it really sucks to destroy a server.

Thanks again,
Chris

Moving this topic to SME 7.x Contribs where it is more appropriate.
