rraph Pautasso	Tuesday 29 March 2005 11:50:35 pm For those who want to install and run EZ Publish on Mac OS X, a quick and dirty HOWTO: Tested on Mac OS X 10.3.8 with PostgreSQL 8.0 - download the ezpublish-3.5.1.tar.bz2 (or newest version) - StuffIt Expander will expand it - In goal to speed up by a factor four, you should change the DocumentRoot in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf to a new folder at the root (/www for example) In fact, i follow the tip from this forum and it works great :) - and : sudo mkdir /www sudo cp -R ezpublish-3.5.1/* /www sudo chown -R www:www /www - Download all the required packages from entropy.ch At least, PHP and (pgsql or mysql), there is a ImageMagick package but i have not test it yet. For pgsql, my HOWTO in the entropy.ch forum solve the "Function digest(character varying)" problem - Follow all setup instructions from entropy.ch for your selected packages - Test all of them - If all ok, go to http://127.0.0.1/index.php and create the demo - Enjoy ! I have made a SQL file that cleans the database in case of trouble during installation or reinstallation.

rraph Pautasso	Thursday 31 March 2005 12:50:08 am OK Of course, it will take some times before it is ready but it is now a work in progress :)
Christiane Kloss	Thursday 31 March 2005 1:56:46 am Hi rraph! The speed up sounds great. Does it work for multiple sites as well? For example /www/testdomain1 /www/testdomain2... "In fact, i follow the tip from this forum and it works great :)" Can you give me a hint, where I can find it? Thanks in advance Christiane
rraph Pautasso	Thursday 31 March 2005 11:15:17 pm Where i found the tip: http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/help_how_to_improve_performance_ez_slow Darwin, the lowest level of Mac OS X is based on a BSD distribution (i cannot remenber which one). So, when the ez base folder was moved from /Library/WebServer/Documents/ez to /www, the speed increased by a factor four If you use multisites, it may speed up but less, of course. Uninstall Virex on my PowerBook cut by half the server treatement time too and now ez is quite fast :)

Joe Rupp	Wednesday 21 December 2005 9:24:25 am I must admit to being a novice at this and I wonder if someone can give me a little more detailed rundown on a Mac OS X install. I've downloaded and unzipped the ezpublish-3.7.2.tar.bz2 file. Where exactly do I need to put it in order to connect and setup using my web browser? Thanks in advance.
