user that your mail server runs as). On Ubuntu these are
www-data and nobody, respectively.
- PostgreSQL:
- createdb patchwork
- createuser www-data
- createuser nobody
+ For PostgreSQL
- MySQL:
+ $ createdb patchwork
+ $ createuser www-data
+ $ createuser nobody
+
+ - postgres uses the standard UNIX authentication, so these users
+ will only be accessible for processes running as the same username.
+ This means that no passwords need to be set.
+
+ For MySQL:
$ mysql
> CREATE DATABASE 'patchwork';
- > INSERT INTO user (Host, User) VALUES ('localhost', 'www-data');
- > INSERT INTO user (Host, User) VALUES ('localhost', 'nobody');
+ > CREATE USER 'www-data'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
+ > CREATE USER 'nobody'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
2. Django setup
- At the time of initial release, patchwork depends on a svn version of
- django. I've been using svn commit 7854 - but anything after this
- point should be fine. If your distribution provides a sufficiently
- recent version of django, you can use that; if not, do a:
+ Set up some initial directories in the patchwork base directory:
+
+ mkdir -p lib/packages lib/python
+
+ At the time of release, patchwork depends on django version 1.0.
+ However, most distros don't provide 1.0 yet. If yours does, then you
+ can skip this step. Otherwise, do a:
cd lib/packages
- svn checkout http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk django
+ svn checkout http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/tags/releases/1.0
cd ../python
ln -s ../packages/django/django ./django
MEDIA_ROOT
TEMPLATE_DIRS
+ If you wish to enable the XML-RPC interface, add the following to
+ your local_settings.py file:
+
+ ENABLE_XMLRPC = True
+
Then, get patchwork to create its tables in your configured database:
cd apps/
And add privileges for your mail and web users:
Postgresql:
- psql -f lib/sql/grant-all.sql patchwork
+ psql -f lib/sql/grant-all.postgres.sql patchwork
+ MySQL:
+ mysql patchwork < lib/sql/grant-all.mysql.sql
