Howto install EZ publish - 4.0 - Ubuntu 7.10

From the website : http://ez.no :

eZ Publish is an Enterprise Content Management platform with an easy to use out of the box Web Content Management System. It is available as a free Open Source distribution.

Ezpublish is a powerfull and robust CMS that is easy to install when all the requirements is present.
Reason for suggesting a HOWTO for EZ publish is that it is difficult to set up a server that will run Ezpublish with all required extensions ETC. :

1) Apache should be 1.3x but 2.x is ok if "prefork" is used
2) PHP 5.2x with

MySQLi extension (recommended) Required if a MySQL database will be used.
or MySQL functions
PostgreSQL functions Required if a PostgreSQL database will be used.
Zlib compression functions Required (see below).

Session support Required (enabled in PHP by default).
PCRE functions Required (enabled in PHP by default).

The tricky point with Ez publish is to get a "perfect" server environment.
A well written HOWTO" on this topic would be a "killer"

 

I've just written a tutorial about it and will publish it in the next days.

 

Ez publish also has a lot of entrys / rewrite rules in the virtual host file for the actual web site to function properly,,

 

Hello falko, did you publish the tutorial?
