Arbit installation guide

This article is a stub, please help us extending it with more detailed

information.

This document will help you to set up an arbit instance.

Prerequisite

The minimum prerequisite for installing arbit currently are:

• A webserver with PHP 5.3

• A running CouchDB instance, with the minimum version 0.8.1

Installation

There are two variants of installation. On a system supporting links, you should probably chose the first one.

Linking

Link the htdocs/ folder from arbit to your webroot itself or a subdirectory in your webroot.

Copying

Copy the complete arbit instance ton one directory above your webroot and configure your webserver to serve the htdocs/ folder from arbit as you webroot.

Some files from the folders above the actual htdocs/ directory, like the cache, config and log files, should not be accessible from the web.

Webserver configuration

There are two ways to configure your webserver to get arbit working. Either configure the index.php as your 404-error-handler, or rewrite all requests, except for the images/ and styles/ directories to the index.php.

Apache example configuration

Please add.

Lighttpd example configuration

A lighttpd example configuration using a 404-error-handler could for example look like:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^arbit$" {
    var.localroot = vhostbase + "/arbit"
    server.document-root = localroot + "/htdocs/"

    server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php"
}
