tDiary for Debian
-----------------

Set up your own tDiary

  A setup script I make is available. Type 
    /usr/bin/tdiary-setup {default|symlink|copy}
  and follow the messages. That's all.
  
  The `default' mode is recommended. The `symlink' mode, which just makes
  symbolic links, does not work well under Apache suExec mode. 

  For example
    $ pwd
    /home/daigo/
    $ tdiary-setup default /home/daigo/public_html/diary
  Then your tDiary can be seen at http://localhost/~daigo/diary/.


Configure the tDiary

  Most features can be set from browsers; a few basic features must be set in
  the configuration file. At first edit `tdiary.conf' under the installation
  directory. The configuration page is for example
  http://localhost/~daigo/diary/update.rb, which can be reached from the top
  page.

  tDiary plugins and themes expand functionalities. Find your favorites.
  

Apache (Web Server) setting

  Be sure that Apache allows users to override configurations with a
  `.htaccess' file because the default tDiary setup requires it. 


Update tDiary

  After installing new packages run `tdiary-setup' with the `update' mode to
  the installation directory. 

  You might need to remove cached data because data format might have changed.
  If you see an error page just after updating, give a try to delete caches:
  
  For example 
    $ rm -rf /home/daigo/diary/cache


Notice for users who are familiar with tDiary already.
       
  Each user's theme directory is not necessary because tDiary in Debian tries
  to find it at /var/www/tdiary/theme, which is set in theme_url.rb.
