ezPublish

installing ezPublish (http://ez.no/jp/ezpublish). download the source athttp://ez.no/jp/download. choose eZ Publish full installation (version 4.2.0). 27.2MB. (registered at http://ez.no as a user.)

untar the downloaded file

> sudo tar zxvf ezpublish-4.2.0-full-with_ezc-gpl.tar.gz -C /var/www
> sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/ezpublish-4.2.0
> sudo mv /var/www/ezpublish-4.2.0 /var/www/ezpublish

take care of its prerequisites:

> sudo apt-get install php5 php5-gd php-cli php-pear curl
> sudo apt-get install postgresql

by synaptic package manager on ubuntu9.04. apache is already installed.

follow the instructions at here.

the first thing to do is to execute psql as a postgres user. turns out i need a password... which i haven't set up this page gives an instruction, and i did

> sudo apt-get install pgadmin3
> sudo -u postgres psql postgres

within psql,

postgres=# \password postgres

then set the password as

Enter new password: 
Enter it again:
postgres=#\q

to login as postgres,

> sudo su
> su postgres
> psql -U postgres -W

assuming to use port 5432. create a new database and a new user

postgres=# CREATE DATABASE myezdb ENCODING='utf8';
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# CREATE USER ezuser PASSWORD '********';
CREATE ROLE

grant permission

postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE myezdb TO ezuser;
GRANT

Next the instruction says to import the "pgcrypto" module. need to install pgcrypto as

> sudo apt-get install pgsql-contrib-8.3

Now, i can import the "pgcrypto" module into the new database:

postgres=# \c myezdb
Password for user postgres: 
You are now connected to database "myezdb".
myezdb=# \i '/usr/share/postgresql/8.3/contrib/pgcrypto.sql'

i donno what FUNCTIONs they are... but, it's ok. better restart PostgreSQL by

> sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 restart

Apache is already installed and running. changed the config file at /etc/apache2/sites-available/defult by adding after <Directory /var/www/>

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
                DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

saved the file as /etc/apache2/sites-available/ezpublish. then,

> sudo a2ensite ezpublish

After killing all the apache-related jobs (check ps aux | grep apache), start apache2

> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

then access the site

> firefox http://localhost/ezpublish/index.php &

got error messages

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /var/www/ezpublish/lib/eztemplate/classes/eztemplatearrayoperator.php on line 762

Fatal error: Class declarations may not be nested in /var/www/ezpublish/lib/ezdb/classes/ezdb.php on line 106

Ugrrr... After some gooling, changed memory_limit in php.ini

> sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

and changed to

memory_limit = 128M

also changed

max_execution_time = 720

Restarted apache2

> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Launched the browser

> firefox http://localhost/ezpublish/index.php &

Voila!

hit "Finetune" button. a 'system check' page appears giving some cautions. here, instead of editing php.ini, edit config.php-RECOMMENDED under the root directory of ezPublish as

date.timezone = "Asia/Tokyo"

and save it as config.php.

> sudo chown www-data:www-data config.php

to change the ownership of the file. hit 'next' button anyhow. ... encountered "Missing database handlers" did

> sudo apt-get install php5-pgsql

that solved the problem. got
put a smtp server name s***.xrea.com i have on a rental server. hit 'next'
Servername is localhost, Port 5432, Username postgres, and Password ********. hit 'next'
set default to japanese and additional to english(american). hit 'next'
not all the screen is shown. chose 'Website Interface' as a begining. hit 'next'. took a minute or two to get
chose 'Map to Japanese'.
chose 'URL'.
didn't change any assuming they can be changed in admin later.
changed lastname to YUI, firstname to Comio. mail-address is admin at comio.net. hit 'next'.
got a messge to change to virtual host. i am actually running in virtual host mode, but maybe the apache config file need to be modified. ignore this this time, and see if it's ok. hit 'next'.
this time i won't send info to ez.no. hit 'next'
finished ! i wonder what is 'Usermame' ... hit the link 'User site'. got
ok. see the demo page hit 'Admin site' at the Finished page. got
typed admin as username, and a password. good to see japanese there.
ok, got the admin page

looks like the available extension options doesn't include ez-flow for example in the admin page. need to find out if it can be added thru the admin site.
