[FM Discuss] Information needed about setting up booki publisher

[Daniel James]

Hi James,

> I wonder if bookipublisher needs to run on port 80 like OBJAVI does.

It's possible that assumption is hard-coded.

Why not make life easier for yourself, run everything on port 80 and use
different ServerName fields in your VirtualHost directives?
objavi.example.com, bookipub.example.com and so on:

<VirtualHost *:80>
      DocumentRoot /var/www/objavi
      ServerName objavi.example.com
      DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
      DocumentRoot /var/www/bookipub
      ServerName bookipub.example.com
      DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>

If you don't have DNS available you can set up names (e.g. for
localhost) in your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.1.1       objavi.example.com      objavi
127.0.1.1       bookipub.example.com    bookipub

Have you confirmed that PHP is actually installed and working? On
Debian/Ubuntu you can enable the PHP Apache module with the command:

$ sudo a2enmod php5

You may also find it useful to create a simple phpinfo page:

This should highlight any missing PHP modules.

Cheers!
