tDiary for Debian
-----------------

We provides custom setup scripts.

Set up your own tDiary
======================

A setup script I make is available. Type

    /usr/bin/tdiary-setup {default|symlink|copy}

and follow the messages. That's all.

The `default' mode is recommended. The `symlink' mode, which just makes
symbolic links, does not work well under Apache suExec mode.

For example:

    $ pwd
    /home/daigo/
    $ tdiary-setup default /home/daigo/public_html/diary

Then your tDiary can be seen at http://localhost/~daigo/diary/.

Configure the tDiary
====================

Most features can be set from browsers; a few basic features must be set in
the configuration file. At first edit `tdiary.conf' under the installation
directory. The configuration page is for example
http://localhost/~daigo/diary/update.rb, which can be reached from the top
page.

tDiary plugins and themes expand functionalities. Find your favorites.

Apache (Web Server) setting
===========================

Be sure that Apache allows users to override configurations with a
`.htaccess' file because the default tDiary setup requires it.


Update tDiary
=============

After installing new packages run `tdiary-setup' with the `update' mode to
the installation directory.

You might need to remove cached data because data format might have changed.
If you see an error page just after updating, give a try to delete caches:

For example:
      $ rm -rf /home/daigo/diary/cache

Notice for users who are familiar with tDiary already
======================================================

Each user's theme directory is not necessary because tDiary in Debian tries
to find it at /var/www/tdiary/theme, which is set in theme_url.rb.

Community
