-1) Installation
-===============
-The installation of Blogthon assumes that your httpd supports CGI and Python
-is installed. If all this is given, you can download Blogthon in a directory
-of your choice. After that you have to symlink 3 files into your www directory:
-
- * blogthon.cgi
- * styles
- * .htaccess (optional, but security relevant)
-
-Then create 3 directories and 1 empty file:
-
- * entries/
- * static/
- * plugins/
- * linklist
-
-If you don't want to disable comments, you have to change the permissions of
-entries/ to 777.
-
-Now copy the example configuration into your www directory, or to
-../blogthonrc or ../.blogthonrc.
-
-If all this is done, you can continue with setting up your httpd.
-
-
-1.1) Apache
-===========
-To enable CGI you just have to run 'a2enmod cgi' as root. Now put something
-like this in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:
-
-<Directory /this/is/where/your/www/root/is/>
- Options +ExecCGI
- AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
- DirectoryIndex blogthon.cgi
-</Directory>
-
-To finish the installation, reload Apache with
-'/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload' as root.
-
-
-1.2) Lighttpd
-=============
-First you have to enable cgi support for lighttp by
-running 'lighty-enable-mod cgi' as root. Now create a new config
-in /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/ named 50-blogthon.conf or something similar
-with this content:
-
-$HTTP["host"] == "YourBlogURL" {
- cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/python" )
- index-file.names = ( "blogthon.cgi" )
-}
-
-Enable this config by runnung 'lighty-enable-mod blogthon' and restart lighttpd
-with '/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart' as root.
-
-
-2) Entries
-==========
-To start blogging you just have to open your favorite editor, write your entry
-and save it under entries/. The filename should be like this:
- (entry title).(suffix)
-The suffix can be set in your configuration file. Default is '.txt'.
-
-While parsing an entry, blogthon places a <br /> behind each line, except for
-lines with <ul>, <li>, <table>, etc... So you don't need to make your own
-layout using <br /> tags. Aside from that you can certainly use <p> elements
-and all other HTML tags.
-
-
-3) Staticpages
-==============
-Staticpages are placed under static/ without a suffix. To sort them, you can
-start the filename with a literal and -. So '01-Foo' will be placed before
-'02-Bar'.
-
-If you want to make a staticpage to be a link to an extern page, you just have
-to place the following content in the first line:
-extern_link: http://your/link.
-
-
-4) Comments
-===========
-Comments are saved under entries/ like all entries, but with the suffix
-'.comments'. The syntax in this file is like this:
-
--.Nickname
-+.Date
-.some text
-.more text
-
-
-5) Linklist
-===========
-To add a link to your linklist, just add a line to the linklist file:
-
-http://some/link name of your link
-
-Of course you can use empty lines to split different sorts of links.
