=head1 INSTALLING MOJOMOJO =head2 Step 0 Install MojoMojo's prerequisites. See L. =head2 Step 1 - install Install MojoMojo either using the cpan shell like this: cpan MojoMojo or by downloading the tarball from L and running perl Makefile.PL on it manually. If you do this, run make installdeps to get all the required modules installed. =head2 Step 2 - configure C is the main configuration file and is in L format. First make sure your config file has a valid DSN for your database (You can use SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL - SQLite by default). The setting you change is the C array in the C block. For instance, for MySQL: connect_info dbi:mysql:database=mojo_database;host=localhost connect_info mojo_user connect_info mojo_password or for SQLite: connect_info dbi:SQLite:__HOME__/db/sqlite/mojomojo.db connect_info db_user connect_info db_password or for PostgreSQL: connect_info dbi:Pg:dbname=mojomojo;host=localhost;port=5432 connect_info mojo_user connect_info mojo_password Once the DSN is setup, create the table structure by running the following script: ./script/mojomojo_spawn_db.pl This script has sane defaults for a test install, but you can override these. Run it with --help to see usage information. =head2 Step 3 - launch MojoMojo is a Catalyst application and works with Catalyst's built-in web server, or with an external one. =head3 Using the Catalyst built-in server Catalyst includes a test server which can be started using: ./script/mojomojo_server.pl -p 3000 where 3000 is the port number and the default if no port is specified. Note that if you install it through the cpan shell, mojomojo_server will be found in your F directory. =head3 Using an external web server MojoMojo has been tested with Apache, lighttpd and nginx. If you need to make a choice, nginx and lighttpd are much lighter in terms of resource consumption, and faster at serving static files, while Apache is more popular and powerful. Comparison information can be found at WikiVs: =over 4 =item * L =item * L =item * L =back See L for how to setup MojoMojo with various web servers. =head4 Set up Apache using either mod_perl or FastCGI. See http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Cookbook.pod#Using_FastCGI for further information on FastCGI, or you can look at L for info on setting up Catalyst apps in Apache. If your server is connected to a http proxy you may need to add the following line to the main config block: using_frontend_proxy 1 =head2 Step 4 - login Login to your MojoMojo and change the admin password. The default login/pass is C/C. For troubleshooting, see L. =head2 Step 5 - create pages Create a new page. Decide what URL you would like for the page then browse to that URL. You will then be asked to add content. For example, if you want to create a page about food, go to /food.
