Hi!

Im building community site and would like to include online library. Ive found a great script on http://www.greenstone.org but there are practically no instruction on how to get on webhost. Is there anyone who could help me with it?

 

I don't even know where to start... :P

 

Will appreciate any help!

THanks

The install instructions are here.

 

Based off them I think you won't be able to install this on TCH servers, for these reasons:

 

Unix installation

To install the Unix version from the CD-ROM, insert the disk into the

drive, and type

mount /cdrom mount the CD-ROM device (this command may

differ from one system to another; for example on

OS/X you cd to the /Volumes directory and then to

the appropriate subdirectory for the CD-ROM)

cd /cdrom change directory to the CD-ROM’s top level

cd Unix change directory to where the Unix install script

resides

sh Install.sh begin the installation process (an explicit sh is used

because many installations forbid you to execute

programs directly from CD-ROM)

and

 

Unix webserver configuration

If you already have a webserver, some small changes will have to be

made to its configuration to make your Greenstone installation operate.

The install script explains what these are. You will probably need help

from your system administrator to reconfigure the webserver—he or she

should be able to understand the instructions output by the install script.

For your convenience, the output of the install script is written to a file

called INSTALL_RECORD in the directory into which you installed

Greenstone.

 

Unless you're on a dedicated server then these changes would affect everyone and so won't be done. I'd suggest you locate a more shared-hosting friendly package. =)
