Description David O'Brien 2013-10-29 11:18:58 UTC
Description of problem:

A few things to look at:
- Check for prerequisites or important conceptual or reference material
- Review for style and consistency
- Identify and fix any factual errors, incorrect paths, etc.
- Identify any missing steps or other info that would prevent a successful installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


Expected results:

- Writing style consistent with Red Hat Style Guide as much as possible (Zanata is a community project and some variations are acceptable)
- No factual errors
- No missing information
- No broken links

Additional info:

This bug may end up being a tracker for smaller bugs on this page.

Hi,

Just couple of things:

In section Prerequisites:
How about adding:
Database such as MySQL (which is not included in the zip)
Database java connector (mysql-java-connector) (which is included in the zip).

There are several optional packages:
1. clamav for antivirus
2. Fonts for CAPTCHA and server monitoring diagrams.

In section "Configuring Zanata", item 4, do you think showing the whole tag more readable? e.g.

<simple name="java:global/zanata/email/default-from-address" value="admin"/>

In section "Configuring Zanata", item 5, besides the format suggested in earlier paragraph, in FireFox it looks like:


java:global/zanata/smtp/host java:global/zanata/smtp/port java:global/zanata/smtp/username java:global/zanata/smtp/password java:global/zanata/smtp/tls java:global/zanata/smtp/ssl 


Which is not very readable.


In Section Starting the Zanata Server:
If cwd is not <ZANATA DIR>/bin/, then it won't work.
Instead, use following command:

cd <ZANATA DIR>/bin; ./start-zanata.sh


Regards,

b3103eb..96eadeb  master -> master

Includes all of the above fixes, but I wasn't sure what to do about the Windows version "start-zanata". Does that require similar treatment?

thanks for the review.

David

Yes. it would be 
cd <ZANATA DIR>\bin
start-zanata.bat

Oh, I forget to mention:
In Configuring Zanata, item 5
Those properties are included standalone.xml.
You need to add them between:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:naming:1.3">
            <bindings>
                ....
            </bindings>
</subsystem>

The same place that you put 
<simple name="java:global/zanata/security/admin-users" value="admin"/>
and 
<simple name="java:global/zanata/email/default-from-address" value="admin"/>

Regards

Updated documentation for downloads: 

http://docs.zanata.org/en/latest/user-guide/systemadmin/configuration/installation/index.html

I think all the instructions in zanata.org/download should move to http://docs.zanata.org/en/latest/user-guide/systemadmin/configuration/installation/index.html and have just download links of various version of Zanata package.
