Installing the Preview App

Our online previewer application can be installed as follows...

Requirements

• Our source code.
• PHP5 with JSON support and the the so-called fopen() wrappers, which allow PHP to open remote URLs using fopen().
• The web server must be able to open http connections to XXX.googlecode.com, where XXX is an arbitrary Google Code-hosted project name. On a home server this is not normally a problem, but can be if inside a firewall which restrict's the server's access to the outside world (e.g. an organization where servers cannot resolve external hostnames).
• It is untested on non-Apache servers and is known to not work on Windows servers (but why is unknown).

Setting up Apache

If you run Apache/PHP locally then you will want to an entry to your /etc/hosts (or equivalent):

127.0.0.1 localhost <any local aliases> wikiwym

In your Apache configuration, add something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAlias wikiwym
    DocumentRoot /path/to/wikiwym
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache and then point your browser at http://wikiwym/.

If all goes well, you'll then have a running copy of the server and client.
