Forum OpenACS Development: Response to How many and who is writing install guides?

Collapse
Posted by Tapiwa Sibanda on
I have kinda documented my install on RedHat 7.2 for the absolute beginner. This includes basic overview of RedHat install and also where to find *all* the files required for the install. There are also a couple of gotchas with the standard RH7.2 including the LANG=C settings.

I will polish it off this weekend or early next week, and make it available for all. I have strong windows/dos background (there goes the street cred!), and kinda played around with Linux in the RH 5&6 days. I borrowed heavily from Vinod, the official install guide and the forums.

What I want to do is have a step by step for someone with little or no knowledge of both *nix* and webservers to install openacs. It will be really dumbed down, but hopefully will lower the threshold for entry into the openACS club.
