Linux-Tip News

We are proud to present Linux-Tip Europe. This page is designed to provide the Linux users community (not only in Europe) with news and articles that are of interest to them. It works by allowing members of the community to submit news and articles relating to Linux hardware and software. This same community can then decide what tips should be promoted based on what they consider to be the most important or interesting to the community by voting stories up and down. Stories that receive enough votes are promoted to the Linux-Tip Europe homepage.

Step 4: Installing OWL

Please download OWL from the URL mentioned above. I downloaded the Version 0.8.1.
Please unzip it and copy the directory /intranet in your Webserver root directory like this:

su
cd /home/user
tar xzf Owl-0.81.tar.gz
cp –R intranet/ /srv/www/htdocs
cd /srv/www/htdocs/intranet
chown nobody:nobody *

Next we have to adapt the owl configuration file located in /srv/www/htdocs/intranet/config

Please open owl.php in your favorite editor and change the following lines to you needs like this:

$default->owl_fs_root           = "/srv/www/htdocs/intranet ";
$default->owl_db_id[0]           = "0";
$default->owl_db_user[0]           = "owl";
$default->owl_db_pass[0]           = "mypassword";
$default->owl_db_host[0]           = "172.16.2.5";
$default->owl_db_name[0]           = "owl";
$default->owl_db_display_name[0]   = "Intranet";
$default->owl_db_FileDir[0]           = “/srv/www/htdocs/intranet";

Note: Please use your password and your host IP address.
