Hi msx

Have you managed to get Ruby on Rails installed?
I installed Ruby using apt-get, and it installed Ruby 1.8.2 After installing RubyGem, I couldn't get Rails to install.

Hi DanielM

I've just run phpinfo and there is no mention of gd support in the version of php running on Bubba.
To run it yourself, save the following to a file named phpinfo.php in /home/web

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

then access it with web browser.

Regards

Dougie

Hi DanielM

libgd doesn't appear to be installed by default on Bubba. If you do 'apt-cache search libgd' it is there, so can be installed. Then it should run in php under spgm.

Hi J

I tried SugarCRM, but found it very slow. I now use MODx, which is much quicker on Bubba.
MODx is at: http://www.modxcms.com/

If you're using Firefox, try the ScribeFire add-in. It lets you post straight to Wordpress on your Bubba from a frame.

Thanks for a great product, Excito.
Best wishes for the future.

Hi Tor

I had altered /etc/apt/sources.list because I could only install software with apt-get using a UK mirror. When I set the sources.list to just use Excito, the upgrade went okay.

Thanks

Hi Tor

When I installed the upgrade, it stopped the Apache, Samba & ProFTP servers. On restarting Bubba everything was back to normal, although now the version number in web-admin is: 0.31.1-1 Is this correct? I noticed two files were marked for download. Did I only get one?

Hi Johnny

Wordpress have just issued a security warning on version 2.1.1:
http://wordpress.org/development/2007/03/upgrade-212/

This will probably be the version you have if you downloaded it recently. Some cracker gained access to the Wordpress server and altered the download file. Wordpress ...

Hi Johnny

I installed Wordpress. As Tor says, you install MySQL & php4-mysql. Copy the Wordpress tar.gz file to /var/www/html and gunzip it. Add a user to MySQL for Wordpress and create a Wordpress database. Edit wp-config-sample.php:

define('DB_NAME', 'yourdatabasename');
define('DB_USER ...

Hi Tor

I managed to get Python 2.3 installed at last. I tried a few UK mirrors, and eventually got Python from mirror.ox.ac.uk

I'm two happy chappies!

Tor

I've checked on the UK mirror, and the libreadline4 file is there:

/debian/pool/main/r/readline4/libreadline4_4.3-11_arm.deb

I guess it's just a connection problem, so I'll keep trying.
This sure is a good way to get to know apt-get!

Thanks for all your support.

Dougie

Thanks Tor.
When I changed sources.list to point to the UK mirror, I connected okay. :D
Still having a problem getting libreadline4, so Python won't install. The error recommends I run '--fix-missing'. I'm not very familiar with apt, as I'm used to rpm. (I've just moved to SimplyMepis on my main ...

After numerous attempts I can now connect to the Debian update repositories, but still get a timeout on the main repositories. I went to the Debian site and downloaded /sarge/main/binary-arm/Packages.gz
Can I copy this to /var/lib/apt/lists and gunzip it?

Hi Tor

I just realised that when I ran apt-get update, it only connected to the excito repositories. For all the Debian repositories I got a "connection timed out" message. I've tried updating twice, but I can't connect to Debian. I did uncomment the Debian lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list
I ...
