installing livejournal for dummies

[kunzite1]

could someone please find/write such a guide?

i've tried installing debian "sarge" on a box and then attempting to install apache/perl/mod_perl/mysql/etc to get it to work correctly.

i can get perl and most of the required and optional perl modules installed. (use apt-get and cpan. with help from some documentationi can get apache installed. (

I use the guide found here:
http://wiki.ljcode.org/index.php?title=LJ_Server:Installation

For apache I use apache-perl (apt-get install apache-perl). A few of the perl modules I have to use CPAN to get them (Unicode::CheckUTF8 for starters).

Make sure you uninstall apache2, as apache2 and apache 1.33 trying to run at the same time will cause issues.

Make sure you use the httpd.conf which is found here:
http://wiki.ljcode.org/index.php?title=LJ_Server:Installation#Example_httpd.conf
and that the permissions are correct for the entire /home/lj folder (or where ever it's installed - chmod lj:lj /home/lj -Rf & chmod 775 /home/lj -Rf).

Feel free to comment back at me, as I've setup way too many LJ servers :)
