sugarplum for debian -------------------- Some Important Tips Protect legitimate spiders from the poison! - copy or append ./examples/robots.txt to the root directory of your site (/var/www or wherever you've moved it). edit it to deny your sugarplum directory if you choose a new location. - good spiders (i.e. google) will respect your wishes, so be kind! Pick a more effective (and less obvious) name than "sugarplum" - for apache read the suggestion in /etc/sugarplum/apache.conf - for others, read up on however they're doing rewrites. - don't forget to restart your webserver after you make the change To enable sugarplum under Apache2: - it should "just work" (when activated by `sudo a2enconf sugarplum`), as long as you use a "conf.d" style configuration. - it might be necessary to enable mod_rewrite: `sudo a2enmod rewrite` - if i've messed up, there's also info in ./installation-notes-general.txt To enable sugarplum under WN web server: - see ./installation-notes-wn.txt Don't forget to link to it on your site - this works by placing (or even hiding) a link somewhere on your site that points to the disallowed directory. more information can be found in ./installation-notes-general, section 6 - go to http://yoursite/sugarplum/foo and check it out To enable/customize "teergrube" baiting: - see ./installation-notes-general, section 4 To enable logging: - uncomment/change the field "loglevel" to 1 in /etc/sugarplum/config - as root, # touch /var/log/sugarplum.log # chmod 660 /var/log/sugarplum.log # chgrp www-data /var/log/sugarplum.log - if you change the logfile location, update the log rotation file too (/etc/logrotate.d/sugarplum), and realize that if you purge this package it won't know about the new logfile location. -- sean finney Tue, 26 Apr 2005 19:55:23 -0400
