CPAN-Tester-WWW-Admin
=====================
This distribution contains the files used to run and manage the CPAN Testers
Reports Administration website.
The CPAN Testers Reports Administration website is built on top of the
Labyrinth Website Management System. As such, the code to drive the website
is contained within the Labyrinth and associated plugin prerequisites. In
order to define the website in terms of functionality, layout and style, the
files within the './vhost' directory of this distribution should be installed
into your web server's virtual host directory.
Included in the distribution is a C<vhost.conf> file, which contains the
virtual host settings to implement the site using the Apache Web Server.
INSTALLATION
This distribution is in two parts, the first is the installer and the second
are the website files.
In the first instance the installer will install Labyrinth and associated
plugins. These library modules form the engine of the website. These can be
installed as
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
In the second instance, download the latest tarball and copy the contents of
the 'vhost' directory into the directory you plan to use to provide access to
the Admin. Create an appropriate database in MySQL and load the contents of the
SQL file, ./cgi-bin/db/cpanadmin-base.sql. Note that this only provides the
base tables and contents.
You then need to update the configuration file, ./cgi-bin/config/settings.ini,
with the necessary database connection settings, together with the correct
paths to your virtual directory. Then you'll need update the run script,
./cgi-bin/pages.cgi, to point your configuration file.
Finally, you'll need to update your web server as necessary. The CPAN Testers
Reports Administration website runs under Apache2, and the vhost file,
./vhosts.conf, can be adapted as appropriate for other web servers
applications.
CPAN TESTERS FUND
CPAN Testers wouldn't exist without the help and support of the Perl
community. However, since 2008 CPAN Testers has grown far beyond the
expectations of it's original creators. As a consequence it now requires
considerable funding to help support the infrastructure.
In early 2012 the Enlightened Perl Organisation very kindly set-up a
CPAN Testers Fund within their donatation structure, to help the project
cover the costs of servers and services.
If you would like to donate to the CPAN Testers Fund, please follow the link
below to the Enlightened Perl Organisation's donation site.

If your company would like to support us, you can donate financially via the
fund link above, or if you have servers or services that we might use, please
send an email to admin@cpantesters.org with details.
Our full list of current sponsors can be found at our I <3 CPAN Testers site.
