permalink cyn.in

found cyn.in. started to try to install it on Ubuntu9.10.

page for downloading is http://www.cynapse.com/downloads/cynin-community-edition: community edition is here. its source code is available here. how to cyn.in build quick start is here.

oh, it's for 32bit x86, and the computer i'm using is 64bit AMD... will continue when i find a server i can work on. (note: later found it's only for pre-built iso version as pointed by Dhiraj Gupta in comment. if installed from source, cyn.in can be installed on 64bit CPU machines.)

ok. i found an 32bit x86 server (with Intel Cerelon 3GHz, 1GB RAM). downloaded cynin-ce-31-8-i386-10.iso at http://www.cynapse.com/downloads/cynin-community-edition, and burned it on a CD-R. booted the server with the CD. installing Debian and Cyn.in starts, and end in half an hour or so.

access the site from a PC on the same LAN as http://192.168.1.4/. the first page looks like this: [[image: cynin.png]]
kina cute :-) but... what is the default username and password... found at README.txt in /home/cynin/buildout that the username is admin and its password is secret. now, after logging in, the following page is shown: [[image: cynin3.png]]

it's already shown in Japanese, at least partially :-) found some words and word orders are pretty funny... perhaps automatic translation is used? quality of automatic translation of English to Japanese is still less than acceptable for general readers without re-editing/proofreading. i will be able to modify them when i find a way to translate it.

by the way, https://192.168.1.4:10000/ shows a Webmin page: [[image: cynin1.png]]
login as root leads to: [[image: cynin2.png]]

The 32 bit only is for the pre-built ISO CD of Community Edition. If you buildout from source on the x86-64 Ubuntu, that will work fine with the exact same quickstart instructions (updated instructions with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala dependencies are here) , we do it all the time! :)

Most new computers are actually 64 bit these days, but OS and software are still playing catch up, so it's more practical for us to distribute the 32 bit ISO by default. This reduces confusion in many scenarios where Virtual Box or any other virtualization is used, for example.

Thanks Dhiraj for good information. I appreciate it, and will be able to make use of it later on :-)
