INSTALL

First install Mysql and Apache with the mod_php and the Mysql extension. Then run these bash commands using whatever paths make sense for your Apache and Mysql installs.

Set a bash variable to your ajax_chat root directory. You need to change the value

to be the directory of the ajax_chat working copy)...

export AJAX_CHAT_HOME=/path/to/ajax_chat

Copy an Include in to your Apache config by running this...

sudo -E bash -c "echo \"Include $AJAX_CHAT_HOME/apache_includes/local.httpd.conf\" >> /etc/apache2/httpd.conf"

Symlink /var/www/ajaxchat.brenttheisen.com to your local working copy dir. You can skip

this if you just make your root dir /var/www/ajaxchat.brenttheisen.com.

sudo -E ln -s $AJAX_CHAT_HOME /var/www/ajaxchat.brenttheisen.com

Bounce Apache...

sudo -E apachectl restart

Add the local hostname for the site to your hosts file...

sudo bash -c 'echo "127.0.0.1 local.ajaxchat.brenttheisen.com" >> /etc/hosts'

Create the Mysql database. This needs to be run by a user that can create schemas...

mysql < $AJAX_CHAT_HOME/ajax_chat.sql
