Books for you

Blosxom runs as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) script on your web server, so if you
want your blog live on the web at all times, you need to have a host that permits running
CGI scripts (most do). You may want to experiment with several tools before settling on
one, though. For this, you have the capability to run Apache on your own openSUSE
system. See Chapter 26 for a more detailed explanation of Apache.
To try Blosxom on your own Apache server, follow these steps to install:
1. Go to http://www.blosxom.com/downloads/blosxom.zip to download Blosxom.
2. Extract blosxom.cgi into the ~/public_html/cgi directory and make it executable
(chmod 755).
3. Create a local directory to store your Blosxom posts; Blosxom recommends
~/blosxom, but you can choose anything you like.
CHAPTER 14 Creating Basic Websites 304
CAUTION
Don??™t choose a common directory to store your posts in. Blosxom will post to your blog
any file in the directory with the appropriate extension (*.txt by default).
4. Open blosxom.cgi in a text editor to configure your blog.
