Installing Rocksolid Light (rslight) - a web based news client
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rslight is based on NewsPortal, which discontinued development in 2008, and was
|
||||||
|
developed by Florian Amrhein https://florian-amrhein.de/newsportal/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rslight contains some major code and feature changes, but would not exist
|
||||||
|
without NewsPortal as a basis for development.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Requirements:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You will need a web server: rslight has been tested with apache2, lighttpd, nginx
|
||||||
|
and synchronet web servers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
php is required, and your web server must be configured to serve .php.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
php-mbstring (to support other character sets), sharutils (for uudecode) and
|
||||||
|
openssl are required.
|
||||||
|
phpmailer is required if email confirmation is to be used.
|
||||||
|
These are the names for Debian packages. Other distributions should
|
||||||
|
also provide these in some way.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you get errors, check your log files to see what packages I've failed to mention.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For FreeBSD:
|
||||||
|
pkg install php72
|
||||||
|
pkg install php72-extensions
|
||||||
|
pkg install sharutils
|
||||||
|
pkg install php72-pcntl
|
||||||
|
pkg install php72-sockets
|
||||||
|
pkg install php72-mbstring
|
||||||
|
pkg install php72-openssl
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Installation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Set up your webserver to handle php files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Extract rslight into a temporary location
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Run the provided install script (debian-install.sh or freebsd-install.sh) as root
|
||||||
|
and answer the prompts. This will configure locations, create directories and move files
|
||||||
|
into place.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Edit configuration file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Load common/setup.php in your browser to configure your site. The admin password
|
||||||
|
was displayed during install but can also be found in your config directory in
|
||||||
|
admin.inc.php
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Add a cron job for the root user. Change the directories in this line to match your setup
|
||||||
|
as shown in the installation script. Set the minutes as you wish. The paths must match your
|
||||||
|
installation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*/5 * * * * cd /usr/local/www/html/spoolnews ; bash -lc "php /etc/rslight/scripts/cron.php"
|
||||||
|
This will start the nntp server, then drop privileges to your web user and begin pulling
|
||||||
|
articles from the remote server to create your spool. You won't see articles immediately
|
||||||
|
in rslight, please wait 15-30 minutes to begin to see articles appear.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have trouble, post to rocksolid.nodes.help and we'll try to help.
