Gene Snider	Wednesday 25 May 2005 5:49:08 pm You are correct that the file needs be copied and renamed ( and the kickstart values uncommented and modified as appropriate ). However ( depending on where you are located ) beware of trying to set the language to eng-US. I have had nothing but difficulties with that ( perhaps a latent anti-US bias in the code? ). In particular the translation will blow up unless you turn it off completely.

Goal: Using the eZ publish Kickstart System

Current Objective: Acquire / Extend known community documentation for this system.

I was looking for information on using / testing / debugging the kickstart system.

After a bit of searching first both ez.no and google without any positive results, I now turn to the forums.

Question: How do you instruct eZ publish to parse and setup eZ publish using the kickstart file.

Background: I have placed my edited copy of the kickstart.ini.tmpl file into the root of my eZ publish installation, I have checked the permissions of the file, I have hit the web server for the installation.

Brainstorm: I just got an idea, perhaps I only need to... rename the file or perhaps move it to another location?

mv kickstart.ini.tmpl kickstart.ini

The eZ publish documentation could really use a documentation page on this topic.

Where is the best location for a kid like me to create this documentation and make it sing?

Interesting

I have learned by first greping (searching inside the source code directory files) for the relevant keyword, I see that:

cd /path/to/ezpublish/; grep -R "kickstart.ini" * | less

The kickstart.ini file is referenced in the kernel/setup/steps/ezstep_installer.php.

It seems that that is just where It is to read and parse the kickstart variables.

Fyi, I have not installed the .htaccess_root to .htaccess, yet *shrugs*

I also reread the header of the kickstart.ini:

# Kickstart file for the setup wizard
#
# Here it is possible to specify kickstart data for each step
# in the setup wizard. Each step that is present will be skipped
# in the web interface
#
# Copy this file as kickstart.ini in the root of eZ publish
# to enable this functionality
