See the GetWeb home-page for an on-line demo: http://www.healthnet.org/dist/getweb/ See COPYING for copyright information. Install Directions ================== You must have Perl 5.002 or Perl 5.003. Install instructions for GetWeb 1.11 (1.1 release): 1. First install libwww-perl with the following steps: a) Install IO-1.12 or later b) Install libnet-1.01 or later c) Install libwww-perl-5.04 or later. Ignore any MD5 warnings. I have tested with both libwww-perl-5.04 and 5.07. Please install 5.07 or later if you are installing a new libwww-perl from scratch. 2. Install MIME-tools with the following steps: a) Install MailTools-1.06 or later b) Install MIME-tools-2.04 or later I have tested with both MIME-tools-2.04 and 3.204. 3.204 encodes Latin-1 accents a little better, so use 3.204 if you are installing from scratch. 3. Untar the latest GetWeb distribution into the getweb home directory. Chdir to that directory. 4. Run: # perl Makefile.PL # make # make test # make install 5. Create a new user account, "getweb". 6. Copy config/mailbot.config into /usr/local/getweb/config. Edit it to reflect your local configuration. (In particular, if you have a thicker link to the internet than our 56k line, you can set quota.message higher than our 70 messages per week.) 7. For now, copy the pub/ area into /usr/local/getweb/pub. You may want to change these files later. (In particular, you should eventually change 'getweb@usa.healthnet.org' to the address that you are running getweb as.) 8. Create a ~getweb/.forward file containing the following line: "| getweb.pl" (Or, if you want to batch these, you can instead have getweb run a daemon process like: "getweb.pl -f /var/spool/mail/getweb". If you do this, change set spool.get in mailbot.config to a command which fetches mail on your local system.) AutoLoader Patch ================ If your AutoLoader.pm file is buggy, you may get this line while running 'make test': You must use AutoLoader.patch; see README file. Test failed! If so, you need to patch your Autoload file because of a bug in perl5.003. One way to do this is to apply AutoLoader.patch, included in this distribution: # cd /usr/lib/perl5 # ls AutoLoader.pm AutoLoader.pm # patch < /usr/home/getweb/GetWeb-x.xx/AutoLoader.patch
