Projects/kde.org/Staging Setup

    From KDE TechBase

    Needed Software

    On the machine you use for this setup, you need to have installed a Linux/*BSD with a working Apache (1 or 2) with mod_php4.

    Getting the needed module from SVN

    You need to checkout the www module from our SVN, it's located in /trunk. The www module will be the documentroot of your apache, therefor keep care that the apache process can read this dir.

    Setup of the Apache vHost for the Staging

    You need to setup a vHost for the staging, here an example to have some vHost for your localhost running on port 8080.

     # listen on this port, too
     Listen 8080
     
     # staging vhost
     <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>
         # set documentroot + 404 handler
         DocumentRoot <path_to_www>
         ErrorDocument 404 /media/404.php
     
         # php part
         php_value short_open_tag Off
         php_value register_globals No
         php_value safe_mode On
         php_value include_path ".:<path_to_www>/media/includes"
    
         # enable .php
         AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
     </VirtualHost>
    

    Using the Staging

    After restarting your Apache, you should have a running staging area on http://127.0.0.1:8080. You can now simply access and test all *.kde.org sites within this vhost. They all will behave like they are on their own domain, in their own vhost.

    www.kde.org is now available under:

     http://127.0.0.1:8080/sites/www
    

    pim.kde.org is now available under:

     http://127.0.0.1:8080/areas/pim
