The Annotate distribution contains a directory named
cgi-bin
. In this directory, you can find the
Annotate CGI scripts together with the components it needs to work. The
contents of this directory should be moved to a location where the web
server executes them as CGI scripts (i.e., a
ScriptAlias
ed directory) . Make sure that the
annotate
file is executable and that all files in
that directory (as well as its subdirectories) are readable.
I assume that you already have a working RDBMS system at hand. You have to create a table with the columns described below.
Table 1.1. Comment table structure
Field name | Field type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | integer, not null | identifier and primary key |
node_id | char, not null | DocBook Node-ID |
Name | char | the annotation author's name |
eMail | char | the author's mail address |
Date | datetime | annotation date and time |
Comment | text | annotation text |
If Annotate knows your database type, the installation script will ask you whether it shall create this table for you.
