Gregarius requires a relatively up-to-date PHP installation (>= 4.3.0) with xml (expat) support. It works fairly well with PHP5.
Your PHP installation must support socket operations. See: http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php
Additionally you will need access to a MySQL or a SQLite database.
-
If you are upgrading from an earlier version make sure you have a backup copy of all the files you have modified
-
If you haven't already done so, download the latest release from the sourceforge.net project site
-
Unpack the Gregarius package inside your web directory:
1. If you are installing from a tar.gz archive:
tar xvfz rss-x.y.z.tar.gz
2. If you are installing from a zipped archive:
unzip rss-x.y.z.zip
-
cd to the created directory:
cd rss -
Choose your installation type:
1. For a graphical installation, point your browser at the root
directory of your installation. Enter the necessary information
about your database structure and continue.
2. For a manual installation, create a configuration file, based on the
sample:
Copy the sample database configuration file:
cp dbinit.php.sample dbinit.php
Edit the `dbinit.php` file to match your database configuration.
Make sure that the database exists and has the right permissions
and the database user you define owns privileges to create/modify
tables. Point your browser at the root directory of your
installation. You should read a message informing you that the
database schema has been generated.
-
If at this point, the browser returns a 500 internal server error, then remove (or disable) the .htaccess file in this directory and try again.
mv .htaccess .htaccess.tmp
See the [FAQ](http://wiki.gregarius.net/index.php/FAQ) for more
information.
If the database user you defined lacks privileges to create
database tables you should import your schema manually: from the
command-line type (replacing `database_user`, `database_host` and
`database_name`)
php schema.php --dump > dbstruct.sql
mysql -u database_user -h database_host -p database_name < dbstruct.sql
-
Point your browser to the URL corresponding the install location and click "Admin". After selecting a new password, you can start adding feeds by pasting URLs of RSS or RDF feeds into the "Add a feed" field. Alternatively you can import a list of feeds using the OPML import feature.
-
This version of Gregarius comes with default password protection, however you may wish to to strengthen it by using a .htaccess file.
See [http://wiki.gregarius.net/index.php/Password_Protection]()
for this purpose.
