This howto is meant as a practical guide; it does not cover the theoreticalbackgrounds. They are treated in a lot of other documents in the web.
This document comes without warranty of any kind! I want to say that this isnot the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achievingthis goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that thiswill work for you!
1 Preparation
Set up a basic ubuntu 7.04 system and update it.
2 Get Postbooks
wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/postbooks/PostBooks-2.2.0Beta3-Linux6.tar.bz2
wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/postbooks/postbooks_quickstart.backup
wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/postbooks/init.sql
3 Install PostgreSQL
4 Configure PostgreSQL
The default configuration of PostgreSQL on Debian and Debian-based distributionsrequires that the system-username is the same as the postgresql-username to connect topostgresql.
So we have to customize the pg_hba.conf:
Near the end of the file you should see this:
Change it to:
Now restart Postgresql:
5 Prepare Postgresql For Postbooks
sudo su postgres
psql -U postgres -f init.sql template1
createdb -U mfgadmin mfg
pg_restore -U mfgadmin -d mfg postbooks_quickstart.backup -v
6 Create A Desktoplauncher
Right click on the Desktop and choose 'Create Launcher..'from the menu.
In the new window choose:
Type: Application
Name: Postbooks (or something else)
Command: /home/%yourusername%/PostBooks/PostBooks
Comment: Insert something if you want
