Get the www.opkg.org source code

It's now possible for everyone to download the www.opkg.org source code.

You can download it and develop new features or fix some bugs. Every help is welcome!

 

You can get the latest snapshot running in a few simple steps:

  1. Set up a web server (the snapshot is optimized to run on a local LAMPP server in /opt/lampp/). You may take the one from www.apachefriends.org.
  2. Download the lastest snapshot:

    wget http://www.opkg.org/opkgorg_snapshot_21022009.tar.gz

  3. Extract the archive to your server's root directory:

    tar xvfz opkgorg_snapshot_*.tar.gz -C /opt/lampp/htdocs/

  4. Execute the whole SQL-Code in the db_export.sql file. Do this either using phpMyAdmin or the mysql command line tool.
    This will create the whole database structure and fill in the needed data. Furthermore it creates the user 'opkg'.
    Note: If you don't have the permissions to create new users, just edit the $db variables in the functions.php. Replace all the 'opkg' entries with an existing user/password.
  5. Edit the file functions.php: Make the session variables on top of the file suit your needs.
  6. Open the opkg directory in a web browser and see if everything works: http://localhost/opkg/
  7. If it's not working, have a look at the functions.php file again. Maybe you also need to modify the .htaccess file (or install the ModRewrite module for apache, to get htaccess working).

 

The password for all database and website users is 'opkg'.

 

If you made changes to the code and want them to be published on www.opkg.org, please contact me. I will have a look at them and implement the changes in the main site.
