Prerequisites
=============
- MySQL. For accessing the database.
- GD. For scaling down avatar images.
- mbstring. For handling Unicode (UTF-8) encoded strings.
- - gettext. For multiple languages. Default on many PHP installs.
For some functionality, you will also need the following extensions:
Sphinx server to serve the search queries.
- bcmath or gmp. For Salmon signatures (part of OStatus). Needed
if you have OStatus configured.
+ - gettext. For multiple languages. Default on many PHP installs;
+ will be emulated if not present.
You will almost definitely get 2-3 times better performance from your
site if you install a PHP bytecode cache/accelerator. Some well-known
1. Unpack the tarball you downloaded on your Web server. Usually a
command like this will work:
- tar zxf statusnet-0.9.2.tar.gz
+ tar zxf statusnet-0.9.4.tar.gz
...which will make a statusnet-0.9.2 subdirectory in your current
directory. (If you don't have shell access on your Web server, you
2. Move the tarball to a directory of your choosing in your Web root
directory. Usually something like this will work:
- mv statusnet-0.9.2 /var/www/statusnet
+ mv statusnet-0.9.4 /var/www/statusnet
This will make your StatusNet instance available in the statusnet path of
your server, like "http://example.net/statusnet". "microblog" or
parameters correctly so that both the SSL server and the
"normal" server can access the session cookie and
preferably other cookies as well.
-shorturllength: Length of URL at which URLs in a message exceeding 140
- characters will be sent to the user's chosen
- shortening service.
+shorturllength: ignored. See 'url' section below.
dupelimit: minimum time allowed for one person to say the same thing
twice. Default 60s. Anything lower is considered a user
or UI error.
'search', 'message', 'settings', 'admin'. Ignored when site
is private, in which case the entire site ('/') is disallowed.
+url
+---
+
+Everybody loves URL shorteners. These are some options for fine-tuning
+how and when the server shortens URLs.
+
+shortener: URL shortening service to use by default. Users can override
+ individually. 'ur1.ca' by default.
+maxlength: If an URL is strictly longer than this limit, it will be
+ shortened. Note that the URL shortener service may return an
+ URL longer than this limit. Defaults to 25. Users can
+ override. If set to 0, all URLs will be shortened.
+maxnoticelength: If a notice is strictly longer than this limit, all
+ URLs in the notice will be shortened. Users can override.
+ -1 means the text limit for notices.
