Typo Blog Autoinstaller Now Available!

Posted by Matt Lightner, April 29th, 2006

Due to popular demand, we’ve put together an autoinstaller for the popular Ruby on Rails based blog software Typo. The installer takes an application name (I.E. “myblog”) and a mySQL database password and does the rest for you, including setting up a mySQL database, installing the application files to your account and configuring the app to work with the new database. From there, all you need to do is create your new Typo admin user and start blogging right away!

If you want to install custom Typo themes or work with the application files, you can find them in the “rails_auto_apps” directory within your account’s top-level directory (outside of public_html).

For a more customized install, you can still install the program yourself or tweak a basic autoinstall instance.

The new installer is committed to our codebase and will be available in NetAdmin under “CGI and PHP Scripts” within the next 24 hours (we need to push out a new NetAdmin RPM to all the servers first).

Hope you enjoy this new feature–we’d love to hear your feedback on it!
