# Install whiteboard.  If you are reading this on your local computer,
# it may already be installed.
darcs get http://code.zgib.net/whiteboard/
cd whiteboard/

# Install mobwrite.  Default installion assumes it is in ./mobwrite .
# There are local changes to this copy needed for saving properly
darcs get http://code.zgib.net/mobwrite/
ls mobwrite/

# At this point the directory layouts should look like this:
# ./whiteboard/
# ./whiteboard/mobwrite/
# ./whiteboard/ is the web server root or directory that is being served.

#
# Set up some file links.
#

ln -s mobwrite/compressed_form.js .
ln -s htaccess .htaccess
ln -s wb.py  wb.py.cgi          # make it a cgi script
chmod a+x wb.py
mkdir data/
chown USER data/

# You need to make q.py be a cgi script.  This gets hit *very* often (every second or so.  It's the sync gateway
ln -s q.py   q.py.mpy           # make it a mod_python script for speed
ln -s q.py   q.py.cgi           # Or, you can make it a plain cgi script
chmod a+x q.py

# Look at .htaccess and see what it does.  You don't have to use this,
# htaccess, you should integrate it with your server however you'd like to...
# Basically, NAME.wb  gets remapped to wb.py.cgi
#            NAME.txt gets remapped to data/wb_NAME.txt
# We make sure not to log access to q.* since there are MANY of them
# Define the various things to be CGI.



#
# Local configuration
#

# syncGateway is what the user's browser uses to communicate with the web
# server.
# The syncGateway needs to be adjusted in wb.py (leave it blank for the
# default, q.py.mpy in the present directory(?))
emacs wb.py

# PORT is what is used to communicate between the sync gateway (q.py) and
# the mobwrite daemon running on localhost.
# The port needs to be configured in three places:
emacs q.py rundaemon.py



#
# Running it
#

# This is kind of a hack, but runs mobwrite from within the mobwrite/
# directory.  Run this as the user that owns the data/ directory.
python rundaemon.py
