Lizzy Site Creation

pop up description layer
To create a new Lizzy Site called MyLizzySite, do the following:

  • Under Lizzy Path , copy one of the existing sites (e.g. LizzyDefault) to MyLizzySite.

  • If Lizzy was installed with the Split Installation procedure, then you also need to go to Lizzy Documents Path and copy one of the existing sites (e.g. LizzyDefault) to MyLizzySite.
    • Make sure you copy the directory with the same name as the one you copied in Lizzy Path (in other words, if you copied LizzyPath/LizzyDefault to LizzyPath/MyLizzySite, then copy LizzyDocumentsPath/LizzyDefault to LizzyDocumentsPath/MyLizzySite)

  • Configure your web server to access the new site.
    • With Apache, you do this by editing the httpd.conf file
    • Add a ScriptAlias so that the web server can access the scripts directory:
          ScriptAlias /MyLizzySite/scripts/ "LizzyPath/MyLizzySite/scripts/"
      
    • Add an Alias so that the web server can access documents in the uploads
          Alias /MyLizzySite/uploads "LizzyPath/MyLizzySite/uploads/"
      
    • Restart Apache

  • In the LizzyPath/scripts/config/local_config.pl file, set the $uploads_URL configuration variable to:
        $uploads_URL = 'http://YourIPAddress/MyLizzySite/uploads';
    

  • If Lizzy was installed using the Split Installation procedure, you must also add the following in the LizzyPath/scripts/config/local_config.pl file:
        $pages_dir = 'FullPathOfPagesDirectoryForThisSite';
        $scripts_url = 'FullURLOfTheScriptsDirectory';
    

  • Verify that the proper access permissions are set for MyLizzySite subdirectories. The Web Server User user must have read and write permissions to the uploads and pages subdirectories.

  • On some *NIX platforms, you may have to change the first line of every *.cgi scripts in the scripts/public/ and scripts/restricted directories of LizzyPath/MyLizzySite. This first line must specify the full path of the perl executable on your machine. You can do this by hand or by running the chshbang.bat script supplied in the lib directory as follows:
         perl chshbang.pl "/usr/bin/perl" /LizzyPath/Lizzy/MyLizzySite/scripts
    
    This command updates the shbang line of all cgi scripts in the specified directory to /usr/bin/perl.

  • You may now access your web site (and start editing it) by accessing the following URL:
                http://YourIPAddress/MyLizzySite/scripts/public/wiki.cgi
