Caltrops - Break This Forum





	[quote name="Entropy Stew"][quote name="I"]Make sure apache and postgres are both started. You should be logged in as root Unpacking 1. Copy pointy-whatever-ver.tgz to the /home/httpd (or wherever your webserver's home dir is) 2. "tar zxvf pointy-whatever-ver.tgz" Setting up the web symlinks 1. "ln -s pointy pointy-whatever-ver-dir" 2. "cd htdocs" 3. "ln -s pointy.php /home/httpd/pointy/pointy.php" 4. "ln -s forum-purple.css /home/httpd/pointy/forum-purple.css" Setting up the db 1. "su - postgres" (substitute your postgresql db user name is here if it's different) 2. "createdb caltrops" 3. "psql -d caltrops -" connect to the db via the psql command line 4. (you are now in the psql command line) "\i /home/httpd/pointy/install/createTables.sql" 5. Watch the pretty scrolling text 6. "\q" to exit psql 7. "exit" to un-su yourself Setting up Pointy 1. "cd /home/httpd/pointy" 2. Open pointy.php in an editor.You will see: // Set this to the Pointy install dir $pointyHome = '/home/httpd/pointy'; at the top. Change pointyHome to the dir you installed it in (duh). Save & exit. 3. "cd etc/" (NOT cd /etc) It should theoretically work at this point (browse to http://localhost/pointy.php). And by "work" I mean throw an error about not being able to find any forums. Let's add some!!@!@121111 Adding a forum 1. "su - postgres" 2. "psql -d caltrops" 3. Type the following: insert into forums (sid, forum_name, num_posts, forum_sticky, forum_last_updated) values ('1', 'Wookie Hairdressers\' Union #2018', 0, 'true', now()); 4. You will have a wookie hairdresser's forum in the attic (sticky forum top part). change true to false in that example, and you'll get a basement forum. I believe Pointy needs at least one sticky attic forum to work. Notice the backslash in front of the single quote used to escape it.[/quote] Fuck if I remember all the steps exactly. -/ES/-[/quote]
