After spend the past couple of weeks attempting to get an instance of mc working on a Linux (Ubuntu) box, time has run out for the time being and it’s become important to get mc running, so I’ve switched back to setting up a winXP box to host mc. Once again, this blog will become a station for documenting the process and related, hopeful, progress. I’ll also jot a few notes down about what I learned working with Linux and the VR portion of mc.
Here’s a list of tasks (completed as of this writing) required for setup:
Update XP with special interest in having sp2 installed before snooping around the net much.
7 zip (recommended for unzipping jpgraph)
perl activestate
pm needed**:
db_file (for mh version 2.103)
gd-graph will also load gd
DBI:
Xampp (can now use php5 with latest version of jpgraph)
remove test_x10.pl and mytest.pl from ./code/test AND
remove all items via web interface misterhouse home>setup mr house>Edit Items (must be same time as removing the above modules before restarting or it’ll crash)
ini editor>web>web_refresh (remove: meta http-equiv=”Refresh” content=”600;url=/misc/photos.shtml” /) [stops pictures]
dbi:mysql settings???
I also downloaded VNC Real to make working much more comfortable (from my laptop on the sofa!) Access Control set for +192.168.0.100/255.255.255.255
Failed to remember that CYGWIN is required to run digitemp. Also need to add CYGWIN to the user define PATH in xp. will elborate as time allows…. in a bit of hurry right now..
Note to self (you didn’t think all this was here just for you!) Serial driver for dual serial pci card is in G:\serialDRivers\ITD\IT887x
**perl modules are installed via a program call ppm, which is started from a command prompt (start/run/cmd) BE SURE TO CHANGE VIEW TO ****ALL**** PACKAGES. (yelling at self at 5:00 am after spending hours trying to download and install db_files.pm)
*unzipping these was a two step process: first one created a zip file from gz zip file
