• Installing Etherpad on Debian

  Date: 2010.03.10 | Category: debian, etherpad, google, guide, install, installations | Response: 14

  IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS DOCUMENTATION IS NOW DATED.  You can now install Etherpad from apt.

  Installing Etherpad 1.0.1 with APT

  Add the following line as a source in your graphical package manager (In Ubuntu: System->Administration->Synaptic package manager; then Settings->Repositories and then finally Third party software), or edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add it there.

  deb http://etherpad.org/apt all .
  

  apt-get update
  apt-get install etherpad
  

  Answer the questions (if any, depends on your system settings)

  /etc/init.d/etherpad start
  

  Other Linux distributions
  Download the .tgz and unpack it
  Follow instructions in README

  BELOW IS THE OLD GUIDE for Etherpad V1 released by Google

  Install prereqs

  
  echo "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
  apt-get update
  apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
  

  If the above fails then do not continue.  The output of

  java -version

  Should read..

  java version "1.6.0_17"
  Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

  apt-get install scala mysql-server libmysql-java mercurial
  

  Paste the below to /etc/profile

  export PATH
  export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"
  export SCALA_HOME="/usr/share/java"
  export JAVA="/usr/bin/java"
  export SCALA="/usr/bin/scala"
  export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
  export MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR="/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.10.jar"
  export JAVA_HOME SCALA_HOME JAVA SCALA MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR PATH
  umask 022

  Download the etherpad source to /usr/local/etherpad

  hg clone https://etherpad.googlecode.com/hg/ /usr/local/etherpad
  

  Set the environment variables

  export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"
  export SCALA_HOME="/usr/share/java"
  export JAVA="/usr/bin/java"
  export SCALA="/usr/bin/scala"
  export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
  export MYSQL_CONNECTOR_JAR="/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.10.jar"
  

  Add your domain to the superdomain section

  
  nano /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/etherpad/globals.js
  

  Search for etherpad.com and replace it with your domain (confused? You will figure it out)

  Create the etherpad mysql db and privelidges

  mysql -u root -p
  

  Enter your password when prompted

  create database etherpad;
  grant all privileges on etherpad.* to 'etherpad'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
  quit
  

  cd /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/
  ln -s /usr/share/java /usr/share/java/lib
  bin/rebuildjar.sh
  bin/run-local.sh
  

  Wait quite a while while it builds.

  Test by browsing to your server at http://hostnameofserver:9000

  Making pro work…

  Make sure it doesn’t redirect to etherpad.com for pro

  Edit /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/main.js

  Replace all instances of Etherpad.com with yourdomain.com

  Edit /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/static/crossdomain.xml

  Add to the obvious section

  
  <allow-access-from domain="yourdomain.com" to-ports="*"/>
  
  <allow-access-from domain="*.yourdomain.com" to-ports="*"/>
  

  Edit /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/etherpad/pro/pro_utils.js

  Replace

  var fromDomain = 'etherpad.com';

  with

  var fromDomain = 'yourdomain.com';

• Short throw projector rumour

  Date: 2009.09.29 | Category: installations, iwb, projector, short, throw, ultra | Response: 0

  I’m not usually one for spreading rumours but I heard today that you can get a Hitachi ultra short throw projector with wall mount fully fit for £949 with a full 3 year bulb + unit warranty.

  I’m waiting on hearing confirmation but if this is true then it is an amazing deal! I guess we’re waiting on an official press release from the installs team..
