- This installation guide assumes that you have the Apache HTTPD webserver installed.
- Extract the Vanilla unix distribution (
vanilla-x.y.z.tar.gz) to a directory of your choice (e.g. /usr/local/vanilla/).
- Download REBOL/Core from http://www.rebol.com/platforms.shtml. You can use the direct link ftp://ftp.rebol.com/pub/downloads/core/rebol042 if you like.
- Place rebol042 in a proper directory (e.g.
/usr/local/bin/) and make it executable (e.g. chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rebol042).
- Copy
wrapper.cgi and vanilla.r.conf into Apache's cgi-bin directory.
- Rename
wrapper.cgi to vanilla.cgi and vanilla.r.conf to vanilla.cgi.conf.
- Edit
vanilla.cgi with your favorite text-editor and change the first line to point to your REBOL/Core executable (e.g. change it to #!/usr/local/bin/rebol042 -cs)
- Execute
chmod.sh in your vanilla root (e.g.
$ cd /usr/local/vanilla
$ ./chmod.sh)
- You're almost done! Edit
vanilla.cgi.conf and adapt at least vanilla-space-identifier and vanilla-root.
- Use some random string as
vanilla-space-identifier, for example the current date and time (e.g. vanilla-space-identifier: "2003-09-22 01:51").
"vanilla-root" must point to your Vanilla installation directory (e.g. vanilla-root: "/usr/local/vanilla/"). Do not forget the trailing slash! (it must be "/usr/local/vanilla/" but not "/usr/local/vanilla").
- Finally you have to link the vanilla resources into your webserver, so you can enjoy the full beauty of your brand new vanilla. Go to the document-root of your webserver (e.g. /var/www/mywebspace) and link the
res directory there:
$ cd /var/www/mywebspace
$ ln -s /usr/local/vanilla/res/ resources
- That's it for now, you should now be able to access your Vanilla instance thru a browser, try http://localhost/cgi-bin/vanilla.cgi.
