Re: [Debian-sf-users] Installing debian-sf

[Arnar Birgisson]

Brilliant.. thanks.

One question about the certificate, I saw somewhere that a certificate made 
with makecert coming with apache-ssl package didn't work, and one should use 
apache-mod-ssl package instead. Is this something I have to look out for? I 
read your post again and you say "use mod-ssl-makecert", I presume that's the 
script that comes with apache-mod-ssl.. so maybe my question is unneccesary.

I think you should get the latest version from CVS because the LDAP installation
is broken in the 2.6-0+13 package. The bug has been fixed in CVS. Recently some
scripts have been also recently added to make stats working. To know how to get
debian package from CVS, see http://www.nongnu.org/debian-sf/how_to_build.html

Please post your questions to the list.
I think you should first install the packages whose Sourceforge depends, and
then run the sourceforge installation itself. Don't forget for example to 
generate
first a certificate, overthise Apache will not run (use mod-ssl-makecert).
