Hi Casey, Robert Krahn (@HPI) recently created a <a href="http://www.lively-kernel.org/repository/lively-wiki/users/robertkrahn/rk-installInstructions.xhtml" target="_blank">video illustrating setup</a>. Below are some old detailed instructions I compiled for my own use last spring along with an Apache config file. These instructions were for Linux. 1. Instructions Preparing Apache for Lively These steps were performed for Linux under Ubuntu 8.04 HardyHeron running at <a href="http://slicehost.com" target="_blank">slicehost.com</a>. Connecting to the machine as root using ssh from Mac OS X 10.5.6 Caveats: The version of Apache was having trouble with digest authentication so this setup example is using basic authentication only. The recommendation is to use something better than basic authentication. Apache modules may be configured permanently (a2enmod) or at runtime in httpd.conf (LoadModule). When I rehearsed these steps for this writeup, I did not get LoadModule working reliably quickly for WebDav so I stopped. Running as root I think is a bad idea but I did it for this writeup. # connect, update the system, and install the Apache web server ssh <username-or-root>@<host> sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apache2 a2enmod dav a2enmod dav_fs a2enmod auth_digest a2enmod proxy a2enmod proxy_http a2enmod rewrite apt-get install subversion cd /var mkdir lively-kernel cd lively-kernel svn checkout <a href="http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-kernel/trunk/" target="_blank">http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-kernel/trunk/</a> # copy the kernel client files to web document root - this will force overwrite the existing Apache index.html page (warning!) cp -rf trunk/source/kernel/* /var/www # these commands ensure that WebDav has permissions for Apache's document root cd /var chmod -R 755 www chown -R www-data www chgrp -R www-data www # important caveat: if you later manually upload files, for example using ftp and not WebDav, you likely need to issue these again # create username and password for WebDav access htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/access <webdav-username> # otherwise auth digest would be like: htdigest -c /etc/apache2/access global <webdav-username> # edit the web server configuration with httpd.conf source # if you are not familar with the vi editor it will likely be easier just to upload httpd.conf using an ftp client vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf # run or reload the web server sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart # sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload # now configure the Lively install # pending 2.
