Hi Davis, Please keep in mind I am a complete noob to eZ publish. If I am understanding your question you have an existing webserver and you want to check out ez publish. Cool. You need a supported db running like MySQL I am assuming a LAMP install here.
I would create a folder in the root of your web server ( mkdir /var/www/html/testcms ).
Unpack the file for your system like tar -zxvf ezpub.tar.gz
This process creates a folder in the folder you executed the tar program ie ezpublish-3.4.1
Open this folder | select all the files and folders and copy them to your testcms folder.
Now open your web browser and goto http://yourwebserver/testcms/
The setup process starts...correct pre-flight issues.
One issue I have is pre-flight sees GD and not imagemagick which is clearly installed. I use convert all the time. Answer questions and the next time you access
http://yourwebserver/testcms/index.php you will see your test site.
My early issues. I ususally compile php and apache via Apachetoolbox. BUT this time I am using a FedoraCore1 RD system with everything installed via RPM and updated with apt-get. So I am using Apache 2.0.50, PHP 4.3.8, and MySQL 3.last release.
There is an issue with RD installs - - > you need the phpcli binary to run the runcronjobs.php file... if you are using RedHat your php is most likely in PHP CGI mode.
WHICH I understand is the way the PHP guys want it run. There is a hack on the forum which works for me... search for "phpcli workaround."
Download the "Building an eZine site" pdf. Quite good. I also purchased the book. Complex. The guys in the forum going back and forth over CGI and CLI php are both
contributors of this book. :) I tend to lean towards the "fix it" side.
Now if you download the RPM complete installer it loads apache, php, and MySQL. I would not run this on an existing LAMP system. You will have two webservers running on port 80 amoung other issues. Like php being installed as a CGI and CLI and being two versions of php. The complete install downloads work well on a system that does NOT have PHP, Apache, and MySQL installed already. As stated on the ez.no web site Testing Only.
BUT hey apache 1.3.28 could run forever :) The install paths are not standard. Good luck, Tom
