Quick-start Guide*

For Getting Latest SVN Code

svn --force export https://keepintouch.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/keepintouch app

This above method is good for production installation as the "export" is done without SVN tags. If you wish to simply check out a working copy for development purposes, use this

svn co https://keepintouch.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/keepintouch app

Once you get the code...

2 files have to be changed in order to adapt KIT to your installation environment

# Line 25 in app/bin/sendnl.pl to match the location of Utils.pm. Utils.pm is by default located in /installation/path/app/Utils.pm

# Line 28 in app/Utils.pm to the location where you have placed kit.conf. This is usually in the $HOME directory of the Unix account into which kit.conf has been installed.


Below are old instructions, need to be heavily modified and elaborated...

0. Install Perl dependencies HTML::Template and CGI::AJAX
1. Copy CLI scripts and empty database to ~/bin and ~/db (most preferably in a
separate Unix account, say /home/keepitalive)
2. Copy template file to ~/public_html (or equivalent)
3. Copy cgi script to ~/public_html/cgi-bin (or equivalent)
4. Tweak Apache2 (not tested on other webservers) to load the cgi scrip and re-load/start
5. Fire up a browser and go to http://www.domain.com/~keepitalive/cgi-bin/addr.cgi
6. Write me an email (see footer) if it works or if you face problems

* Total separation of content and logic, so adapt the look & feel to your likes/preferences/compulsions
