SettingUp
The general case:
- First, InstallCatalyst and all required modules.
- Check out a copy of SVN ( svn co http://svn.uwcs.co.uk/repos/website/trunk/UWCS/ ).
- If running at home, you will need to import some database snapshots.
- Start the server ( run script/uwcs_server.pl ).
- Browse to http://localhost:3000/ in your web browser.
For development purposes, it is easiest to run a copy on Backus. You will need an account on that server.
- Check out a copy of the SVN trunk in your Backus home directory.
- Run the built-in server on a different port ( e.g. script/uwcs_server.pl --port=3001 )
- You should now be able to browse to http://backus.uwcs.co.uk:3001/ directly, although the port may need to be un-firewalled
The advantage of this is that you get all the required Perl modules and the current database set up for free.
