StatusNet FOR LINUX
StatusNet (formerly known as Laconica) is a free, open-source microblogging platform that allows people to communicate through 140-character messages over the Internet. One of the most popular microblogging services, Identi.ca, is based on StatusNet. Users can choose which people to "follow" and receive only their friends' or colleagues' status messages. It provides a similar service to sites like Twitter, Jaiku, and Plurk.
Installation Instructions:
- Unpack the tarball on your web server by running the command:
tar zxf statusnet-0.x.x.tar.gz
- Move the tarball to a directory of your choice in your web root by executing:
mv statusnet-0.x.x /var/www/mublog
- Make the target directory writeable by the web server using:
chmod a+w /var/www/mublog/
- Create a database to hold your microblog data with:
mysqladmin -u "username" --password="password" create statusnet
- Create a new database account that StatusNet will use to access the database by granting permissions, like:
GRANT ALL on statusnet.* TO 'lacuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'lacpassword';
- Navigate to the Laconica install script in your browser at:
http://yourserver.example.com/mublog/install.php
- Enter the necessary database connection information and your site name to configure your site and install the database.
After following these steps, you should be able to access your microblog's main directory and see the "Public Timeline". If you encounter any issues, you can always refer back to the installation instructions.
