NAME

OurCal::Setup - how to set up OurCal

METHOD

GET THE CODE

Either check the code out from

https://svn.unixbeard.net/simon/OurCal

or get it off CPAN.

INSTALL THE DEPENDENCIES

OurCal has a bunch of dependencies although most of them are fairly standard - you probably have a large swathe of them, especially things like LWP::Simple and Template. You only need Data::ICal::DateTime if you want .ics support>.

MAKE AN INSTANCE

If you've checked out into a web accessible directory then you're pretty much good to go, other than making sure everything is readable and executable by the web server process.

Otherwise you'll need to make a web accessible directory, copy index.cgi, templates and images there and make those web accessible.

WRITE A CONFIG

OurCal::Config will help better with this but as a suggested config.

image_dir = images

[providers]
providers = default

[default]
type = dbi
dsn  = dbi:SQLite:db/ourcal.db

Then create a db directory and make it writeable by the web process.

SETUP THE DATABASE

There's all the SQL you need in the sql directory.

YOU'RE GOOD TO GO

Feel free to add other .ics files both remote and local.
