Installing Andromeda on Ubuntu 6.06

In File: /var/www/adocsrobo_live/application/byhand/rpToc.php

Andromeda is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License

Linux: Andromeda has been installed cleanly on Ubuntu Edgy and Gentoo. We have a separate page for [[Running on Linux]].

Mac: Andromeda can be installed and run on Mac OS X provided you follow particular instructions. Our user reported using instructions for Postgres here and for PHP here. He also reported that "I had to edit the httpd.conf file and comment out the Apple PHP module lines and allow the Entrophy package install lines to be the only active php module." This is apparently because the default Mac PHP module is not configured for Postgres or Mysql.

Windows: See our [[Running On Windows]] page for special information.

In short, Andromeda requires Apache, PHP, and Postgres, all of which are pretty easy to get going.

The pages [[Running on Windows]] and [[Running on Linux]] contain the detailed requirements.

The latest Andromeda download files are always available on Sourceforge:

...then return here to continue the instructions.

Here is what you do:

  • Follow the instructions in [[Running on Windows]] or [[Running on Linux]] to get your machine ready.
  • Make a subdirectory of your web root named "andro_root"
    • On gentoo, the web root is /var/www/localhost/htdocs
    • On Unbuntu, the web root is /var/www
    • On a Windows machine with Xamp, the web root is X:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs.
  • Download the tarball to that directory and un-tarball it.
  • Point your browser to http://localhost/andro_root/andro/
  • Follow the instructions on-screen.

Install Reverts to Step 1 after I complete Step 3

This is caused by an error with sessions, so that Andromeda is "forgetting" what step you are on. Make sure that php.ini has the setting "session.use_cookies = 1".
