nZEDb (At Last!)

Acquiring nZEDb

Switch your active group to 'www-data'

newgrp www-data

Switch to the system's www location.

cd /var/www/

This directory should have been created when your web server was installed. If, for whatever reason, it did not do:

mkdir -p /var/www
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www
sudo chmod 775 /var/www

Set the permissions:

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/nZEDb/app/libraries
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/nZEDb/libraries
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/nZEDb/resources
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/nZEDb/www

Setting up nZEDb:

Open up an internet browser, head to http://AddressOfYourServer/install changing AddressOfYourServer for the IP (or domain name) of your server.

If this only shows you the web servers default page, you probably need to use a domain name of some kind.

Open your local hosts file (on the computer which you are trying to browse from) and add an entry for the target server.

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add:

IpAddressOfYourServer   <server_name_used_in_configuration>

Follow the on screen instructions to create the basic configuration of your indexer!
