Prerequisites
=============
version may render your Laconica site unable to send or receive XMPP
messages.
- Facebook library. Used for the Facebook application.
+- PEAR Services_oEmbed. Used for some multimedia integration.
+- PEAR HTTP_Request is an oEmbed dependency.
+- PEAR Validat is an oEmbed dependency.e
+- PEAR Net_URL is an oEmbed dependency.2
A design goal of Laconica is that the basic Web functionality should
work on even the most restrictive commercial hosting services.
1. Unpack the tarball you downloaded on your Web server. Usually a
command like this will work:
- tar zxf laconica-0.7.2.1.tar.gz
+ tar zxf laconica-0.7.3.tar.gz
- ...which will make a laconica-0.7.2.1 subdirectory in your current
+ ...which will make a laconica-0.7.3 subdirectory in your current
directory. (If you don't have shell access on your Web server, you
may have to unpack the tarball on your local computer and FTP the
files to the server.)
2. Move the tarball to a directory of your choosing in your Web root
directory. Usually something like this will work:
- mv laconica-0.7.2.1 /var/www/mublog
+ mv laconica-0.7.3 /var/www/mublog
This will make your Laconica instance available in the mublog path of
your server, like "http://example.net/mublog". "microblog" or
If you've been using Laconica 0.6, 0.5 or lower, or if you've been
tracking the "git" version of the software, you will probably want
to upgrade and keep your existing data. There is no automated upgrade
- procedure in Laconica 0.7.2.1. Try these step-by-step instructions; read
+ procedure in Laconica 0.7.3. Try these step-by-step instructions; read
to the end first before trying them.
0. Download Laconica and set up all the prerequisites as if you were
T_STRING") in the browser, check to see that you don't have any
conflicts in your code.
- If you upgraded to Laconica 0.7.2.1 without reading the "Notice inboxes"
+ If you upgraded to Laconica 0.7.3 without reading the "Notice inboxes"
section above, and all your users' 'Personal' tabs are empty, read the
"Notice inboxes" section above.
