SynchroEdit: Revision 6

This page will describe my journey while installing "SyncroEdit"<http://www.synchroedit.com> for "DORS/CLUC 2007"<http://www.open.hr/dc2007/> conference.

{toc: }

I have been tracking development of this tool for quite a while, and since we wanted to add some social interaction at conference, SyncroEdit seemed like a right tool for a job.

^ SVN checkout

.pre
svn co http://svn.synchroedit.com/root/trunk syncroedit
cd syncroedit
.pre

^ Building and installing Debian packages

^^ server

First, apply patch to fix `init.d` script: {file: syncroedit-init.d-fix.diff}

.pre
cd server/
sudo ./debian/rules binary
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i synchroedit-server_0.5-1_all.deb
.pre

^^ client

.pre
cd client/
sudo ./debian/rules binary
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i synchroedit-client_0.5-1_all.deb
.pre

Now, deploy the client:

.pre
cd /data
mkdir synchroedit-client
synchroedit-deploy synchroedit-client
.pre

^ Setup ESPI

This is a tricky part. I didn't want to depend on php for this installation so I decided to write simple "ESPI"<http://wiki.synchroedit.com/index.php/ExternalServicePOSTInterface> in perl.
