Install MojoMojo's prerequisites. See http://mojomojo.org/documentation/installation.
Install MojoMojo either using the cpan shell like this:
cpan MojoMojo
or by downloading the tarball from http://search.cpan.org/dist/MojoMojo and running perl Makefile.PL on it manually.
mojomojo.conf is the main configuration file and is in Config::General format.
mojomojo.conf
First make sure your config file has a valid DSN for your database (You can use SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL - SQLite by default). The setting you change is the connect_info array in the Model::DBIC block.
connect_info
Model::DBIC
For instance, for MySQL:
connect_info dbi:mysql:database=mojo_database;host=localhost connect_info mojo_user connect_info mojo_password
or for SQLite:
connect_info dbi:SQLite:__HOME__/db/sqlite/mojomojo.db connect_info db_user connect_info db_password
or for PostgreSQL:
connect_info dbi:Pg:dbname=mojomojo;host=localhost;port=5432 connect_info mojo_user connect_info mojo_password
Once the DSN is setup, create the table structure by running the following script:
./script/mojomojo_spawn_db.pl
This script has sane defaults for a test install, but you can override these. Run it with --help to see usage information.
Do one of these:
./script/mojomojo_server -p 3000
where 3000 is the port number and the default if no port is specified. Note that if you install it through the cpan shell, mojomojo_server will be found in your bin directory. Alternatively:
nginx and lighttpd are way easier to setup than Apache, and faster. Unless you need some specific features of Apache, nginx is a better choice.
nginx
lighttpd
See http://mojomojo.org/documentation/deployment for how to setup MojoMojo with various web servers.
See http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Cookbook.pod#Using_FastCGI for further information on FastCGI, or you can look at Catalyst::Engine::Apache for info on setting up Catalyst apps in Apache.
If your server is connected to a http proxy you may need to add the following line to the main config block:
using_frontend_proxy 1
Login to your MojoMojo and change the admin password. The defaul login/pass is admin/admin.
admin
For troubleshooting, see http://mojomojo.org/troubleshooting.
To install MojoMojo, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
cpanm
cpanm MojoMojo
CPAN shell
perl -MCPAN -e shell install MojoMojo
