KDE.org/Local Setup
Introduction
This page will help you getting started improving the KDE websites. Currently all pages are being ported to WordPress since it offers a full CMS.
Prerequirements
You should have some things running on your machine already before starting. You will need:
- Apache2 and the usual modules (php such as libapache2-mod-php5)
- mysql
This could for example look like:
apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql mysql-server
Make sure that it works by checking out localhost in a web browser.
You can modify the default setup to do the development in your home directory if it isn't already set up like that. Read up on apache if you want to. Some hints:
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/kdesites sudo a2ensite kdesites
The easiest will be to have all kde sites in a subfolder structure, such as:
~/public_html/kdesites/kde.org ~/public_html/kdesites/edu.kde.org
Thus point the apache setup to ~/public_html/kdesites
You can set up local subdomains in /etc/hosts
Setting up
For new sites we use WordPress. You should get the latest WordPress release from: wordpress.org
Simply unzip/tar the download in a sub-folder. Get WordPress working. Next after testing that wordpress works, check out the Neverland theme and create a symlink:
git clone URL ln -s ../../../neverland/themes/wordpress/neverland/ .
Check that you have the Neverland theme in wordpress.
