Unfortunately, there is currently no configure installation process. However, the installation should be straightforward anyway. The best way to install gnats2w is to install them on Debian systems. If your target machine doesn't run Debian, you have to perform the steps described below.
The most difficult thing about it is probably getting all the software needed installed. You need to have installed and configured properly the following software components:
All the software is available in Debian.
If you want to use gnats2w with FastCGI, you must have installed the `fcgi' Python module too, See section FastCGI.
The recommended way of installing gnats2w is from its Debian package. The Debian GNU distribution makes the installation one-command process and ensures all the needed software is installed. If you choose this way of installation, you can skip the rest of this section. If you do not choose to install gnats2w from Debian package for whatever reason, follow the steps described below.
After you have all the required software installed and working, See section Required software, you can perform the following steps to install gnats2w:
prefix
variable to the main
installation directory and the CGI_DIR
and FCGI_DIR
variables to locations, where you want to have placed the CGI and
FastCGI links. It can also be a good idea to set TMP_DIR
to some
secure location.
make
.
This should be totally straightforward.
gnats
user and run make install
.
If you have no gnats
user on your system, create one. No special
UID number is required, on Debian systems it is 41.
After succesfull installation and configuration, you can enter gnats2w at the URL of the `index.cgi' script, See section Usage.
