same as http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/MiRInstallDebian - just for FreeBSD

i'm doing this with 6.0-RELEASE

1. java

# pkg_add -r javavmwrapper

get diablo-jdk-freebsd6-1.5.0.06.00.tbz from http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml

# pkg_add diablo-jdk-freebsd6-1.5.0.06.00.tbz

(check $ java -version)

# mkdir -p /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/

# cd /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin

# ln -s ../../diablo-jdk1.5.0/bin/java

2. tomcat

# pkg_add -r tomcat55

# cd /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat5.5/conf

# ls -d *.sample | sed 's/\(.*\).sample$/mv "&" "\1"/' | sh

set environment variables (this is for bash, adjust for your shell)

• # CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat5.5; export CATALINA_HOME

• # TOMCAT_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME; export TOMCAT_HOME

add those 2 lines (without , export...) to ~/.profile

add jakarta_tomcat55_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/020.jakarta-tomcat55.sh start

# netstat -na | grep 8180

check http://localhost:8180/ if tomcat is working

3. get mir

get mir 1.1

$ cd /usr/local/www (or whereever you like)

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.codecoop.org:/cvsroot/mir login

(don't enter any password, just hit "enter")

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.codecoop.org:/cvsroot/mir checkout -r MIR_1_1 mir

get templates

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.codecoop.org:/cvsroot/imc-germany login

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.codecoop.org:/cvsroot/imc-germany checkout neotemplates

4. update templates (old ones)

symlink site-specific templates into /mir/etc-directory:

/usr/local/www/mir/etc$ rm -rf bundles/ extrasource/ open/ producer/
/usr/local/www/mir/etc$ ln -s ../../neotemplates/etc/bundles
/usr/local/www/mir/etc$ ln -s ../../neotemplates/etc/extrasource
/usr/local/www/mir/etc$ ln -s ../../neotemplates/etc/open
/usr/local/www/mir/etc$ ln -s ../../neotemplates/etc/producer

/usr/local/www$ mkdir site
/usr/local/www/site$ ln -s ../neotemplates/site/img
/usr/local/www/site$ ln -s ../neotemplates/site/includes
/usr/local/www/site$ ln -s ../neotemplates/site/script
/usr/local/www/site$ ln -s ../neotemplates/site/static
/usr/local/www/site$ ln -s ../neotemplates/site/style

5. set up mir

/usr/local/www/mir/etc$ cp config.properties-dist config.properties

edit config.properties

add line:

Mir.Localizer=DeLocalizer

Your can find more Keys and Values to configure in /mir/source/default.properties. Dont change them there. Override them with your own entries in your config.properties.

6. compile

/usr/local/www/mir$ ant

Symlink your new application in tomcats webapps-directory

/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat5.5/webapps/# ln -s /usr/local/www/mir/bin/mir/ mir

check http://localhost:8180/mir - you should see db errors because there is no db yet

7. set some file-permissions

/usr/local/www/mir# cp perms.sh-dist perms.sh

/usr/local/www/mir# ./perms.sh (doesn't work!)

/usr/local/www/# chmod -R 777 site/ (euh, this should really not be done in a production environment)

8. postgres

# pkg_add -r postgresql80-server postgresql80-client

add postgresql_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh initdb

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start

9. create db

edit /usr/local/www/mir/dbscripts/createmirdb.sh

replace #!/bin/bash with #!/usr/local/bin/bash

/usr/local/www/mir/dbscripts# sudo -u pgsql ./createmirdb.sh [dbname] pgsql [dbuser] [dbpw]

(as in config.properties)

you can now enter your admin on http://localhost:8180/mir/servlet/Mir using admin:indymedia (change this!)

10. http daemon

use your favorite..

# pkg_add -r lighttpd

add lighttpd_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf

# mv /usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf

edit /usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf

• uncomment "mod_ssi",

• add "index.shtml", to server.indexfiles

• uncomment ssi.extension

• change server.document-root to "/usr/local/www/site/"

# touch /var/log/lighttpd.error.log

# chmod 666 /var/log/lighttpd.access.log

# chmod 666 /var/log/lighttpd.error.log

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh start

12. install ImageMagick

# pkg_add -r imagemagick

done

not working paths i went

old java-way

this is the original freebsd way for java, but as of 2006-04-05 there's an easier way

# cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14

# make install

follow directions. (get j2sdk-1_4_2_10-linux-i586.bin from sun.com and put it into /usr/ports/distfiles at time of writing)

# cd /usr/ports/devel/apache-ant/

# make install

kaffe

kaffe should technically work, but i wasn't able to do it. i got this far:

# pkg_add -r kaffe

# export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/kaffe/"

add line to ~/.profile

# mkdir -p /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin

# cd /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin

# ln -s ../../kaffe/bin/java

but tomcat fails to start with

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/apache/commons/logging/Log;
   at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke0 (Method.java)
   at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke (Method.java:255)
   at kaffe.jar.ExecJarName.main (ExecJarName.java:67)
   at kaffe.jar.ExecJar.main (ExecJar.java:75) 

in /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat5.5/logs/stderr.log
