Need help installing on Godaddy virtual dedicated server

Hi - I have a sandbox area on Godaddy - Linux... I would like to install so I can see the admin side of Clearspace and appreciate what it takes to build a community.

 

I have downloaded a zip and although I have shell access would prefer to ftp to sub directory and instal with sample database.

 

How do I do this?

Re: Need help installing on Godaddy virtual dedicated server

Hi Ian,


This should be fairly simple assuming you are just testing this out and this isn't a production deployment. I would suggest downloading the standalone version of Clearspace for evaluation purposes.

 

  1. Extract the standlone to somewhere on your server
  2. Run the start-clearspace.sh script
  3. Navigate to www.yourdomain.com:8080/clearspace to setup clearspace
  4. Fill out all of your info, restart clearspace when it asks
  5. Then you should be able to access the site

 

 

Here are more specific docs:

Thanks.

Hey Ian,

 

Running the shell script shouldn't be too hard at all. If you log in your should just be able to run it with something like this:

 

./start-clearspace.sh &

 

That will run it in the background so that when you close the SSH session it will still continue running. Let me know if you need any further assistance. Thanks!
