Debian package for Elgg 1.5 v1.5-1
Release Notes
(This is not an Elgg plugin--It is a Debian .deb package used to install Elgg on Debian-based operating systems.)
I have just finished an EXPERIMENTAL, UNOFFICIAL, UNSUPPORTED Debian package of Elgg. I'm looking for help testing this package for eventual inclusion in Debian and its derivatives. If you are running a Debian or Debian-based system (Ubuntu, etc) and would like to help, please download this package and report any bugs you find to me.
To install, untar the archive, and as root say dpkg -i elgg_1.5-1_all.deb.
It will error out with unmet dependencies. apt-get -f install will fix this.
Interesting test cases:
* Users not using dbc to manage their database.
* Users using remote SQL servers.
* Users with existing websites or aliases that specify
Elgg should take over the root.
* SSL...does it work for you?
Awesome!!! I will definetely test it out!! :D
what is this for? i run ubuntu, but i dont know what this plugin is. I run xampp on ubuntu is how i use elgg.
@Sirwan-This is a .deb package for Elgg. If you already have Elgg up and running and don't want to beta test this, it's probably best not to install it!
so will i still have to configure apache, mysql etc? or will the deb do this
You will have to install the virtual-mysql-server package. This package will configure apache and install the base database for you, but don't use this on a production site--this is still experimental and I can tell you it _will_ change before it is included in Debian and Ubuntu's repos.

Hi, do you have memcache running on it ? On the version i'm using, when memcache is activated, I lose all the languages' data like it had gone back to the installation version in full english.
@tony -- I didn't put memcache in the suggested packages, so if you want to configure it you'd have to manually install and enable it. I'll add memcached support to a later version.
