+[h2]Install a Virtual Machine (KVM)[/h2]
+

+
+[h3]Enable rewrite[/h3]
+
+The default installation of Apache2 comes with mod_rewrite installed. To check whether this is the case, verify the existence of /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load
+
+[code]
+root@debian /var/www $ nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load
+[/code]
+
+ (You should find the content: LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so)
+To enable and load mod_rewrite, do the rest of steps.
+Create a symbolic link in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
+
+[code]
+cd /var/www
+root@debian /var/www $ a2enmod rewrite
+[/code]
+
+Then open up the following file, and replace every occurrence of "AllowOverride None" with "AllowOverride all".
+
+[code]
+root@debian /var/www $nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
+[/code]
+or
+[code]
+root@debian:/var# gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default 
+[/code]
+
+Finally, restart Apache2.
+
+[code]
+root@debian /var/www $service apache2 restart
+[/code]
+
+[h3]Test installation[/h3]
+
+[code]cd /var/www[/code]
+
+create a php file to test the php installation[code]nano phpinfo.php[/code]
+
+Insert into the file:
+[code]
+<?php
+  phpinfo();
+?>
+[/code]
+(save CTRL+0, ENTER, CTRL+X)
+
+open webbrowser on PC and try #^[url=http://localhost/phpinfo.php]http://localhost/phpinfo.php[/url] (page shows infos on php)
+
+connect phpMyAdmin with MySQL database [code]nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
+[/code]
+- CTRL+V... to the end of the file
+- Insert at the end of the file:  (save CTRL+0, ENTER, CTRL+X)[code]Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf[/code]
+
+restart apache
+[code]/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
+apt-get update
+apt-get upgrade
+reboot[/code]
+
+[b]phpMyAdmin[/b]
+
+open webbrowser on PC and try #^[url=http://localhost/phpmyadmin]http://localhost/phpmyadmin[/url]
+
+(Source #^[url=http://www.manfred-steger.de/tuts/20-der-eigene-webserver-mit-dem-raspberry-pi#]http://www.manfred-steger.de/tuts/20-der-eigene-webserver-mit-dem-raspberry-pi#[/url])
+
+[h3]Create an empty database... that is later used by the red#matrix[/h3]
+
+
+open webbrowser on PC and try #^[url=http://localhost/phpmyadmin]http://localhost/phpmyadmin[/url]
+
+Create an empty database, for example named "red".
+Create a database user, for example "red".
+Grant all rights for the user "red" to the database "red".
+
+Note the access details (hostname, username, password, database name).
+
+
+[h2]Fork the project on github[/h2]
+
+Please follow the instruction in the offiical [url=http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/GitHub-Contributing-to-a-Project] documentation[/url] of git.
+It is a good idea to read the whole manual! Git is different to other version control systems in many ways.
+
+Now you should
+[list]
+[*] create an account at github.com
+[*] fork https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core
+[*] fork https://framagit.org/hubzilla/addons
+[/list]
+
+If you not want to use GIT from the command line - there is a usefull Eclipse plugin named ""Eclipse Mylyn to GitHub connector".
+
+
+[h2]Install RED and its Addons[/h2]
+
+[h3]Git at your computer / vm[/h3]
+
+You should have created an account on github and forked the projects befor you procceed.
+
+Delete the directory www
+[code]root@debian:/var# rm -R www/
+[/code]
+
+Install git (and optionally git-gui a client gui)
+[code]apt-get install git git-gui[/code]
+
+[h3]Download red#matri and addons[/h3]
+
+Download the main project red and red-addons
+[code]
+root@debian:/var# git clone https://github.com/yourname/red www
+root@debian:/var# cd www/
+root@debian:/var/www# git clone https://github.com/yourname/red-addons addon
+[/code]
+
+Make this extra folder
+[code]
+root@debian:/var/www# mkdir -p "store/[data]/smarty3"
+[/code]
+
+Create .htconfig.php and make it writable by the webserver
+[code]
+root@debian:/var/www# touch .htconfig.php
+root@debian:/var/www# chmod ou+w .htconfig.php
+[/code]
+
+Make user www-data (webserver) is the owner all the project files
+[code]
+root@debian:/var/www# cd ..
+root@debian:/var# chown -R www-data:www-data www/
+[/code]
+
+Add yourself ("surfer" in this example) to the group www-data. Why? Later you want to modify files in eclipse or in another editor.
+Then make all files writable by the group www-date you are now a member of.
+[code]
+root@debian:/var# cd www/
+root@debian:/var/www# usermod -G www-data surfer
+root@debian:/var# chmod -R  g+w www/
+[/code]
+
+Restart the computer (or vm)
+If you are still not able to modify the project files you can check the members of the group www-data with
+[code]
+cat /etc/group
+[/code]
+
+[h3]Register yourself as admin[/h3]
+
+Open http://localhost and init the matrix
+
+Befor you register a first user switch off the registration mails.
+Open /var/www/.htconfig.php
+and make sure "0" is set in this line
+[code]
+App::$config['system']['verify_email'] = 0;
+[/code]
+You should be able to change the file as "yourself" (instead of using root or www-data).
+
+[h3]Cron and the poller[/h3]
+
+Important!
+Run the poller  to pick up the recent "public" postings of your friends
+Set up a cron job or scheduled task to run the poller once every 5-10
+minutes to pick up the recent "public" postings of your friends
+
+[code]
+crontab -e
+[/code]
+
+Add
+[code]
+*/10 * * * * cd /var/www/; /usr/bin/php include/poller.php
+[/code]
+
+If you don't know the path to PHP type
+[code]
+whereis php
+[/code]
+
+
+[h2]Debug the server via eclipse[/h2]
+
+[h3]Check the configuration of xdebug[/h3]
+
+You shoud already have installed xdebug in the steps befor
+[code]
+apt-get install php5-xdebug
+[/code]
+
+Configuring Xdebug
+
+Open your terminal and type as root (su -l)
+[code]
+gedit /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini
+[/code]
+
+if the file is empty try this location
+[code]
+gedit /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini
+[/code]
+
+That command should open the text editor gedit with the Xdebug configuration file
+At the end of the file content append the following text
+
+xdebug.remote_enable=on
+xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
+xdebug.remote_host=localhost
+xdebug.remote_port=9000
+
+Save changes and close the editor.
+In you terminal type to restart the web server.
+[code]
+service apache2 restart
+[/code]
+
+
+[h3]Install Eclipse and start debugging[/h3]

+[h2]Contribute your changes via github[/h2]
+
+[h3]Preparations[/h3]
+
+There is a related page in this docs: [zrl=[baseurl]/help/git_for_non_developers]Git for Non-Developers[/zrl].
+As stated befor it is recommended to read the official documentation [url=http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/GitHub-Contributing-to-a-Project]GitHub-Contributing-to-a-Project[/url] of git.
+
+Eclipse has a usefull plugin for GIT: "Eclipse Mylyn to GitHub connector".
+
+Make sure you have set your data
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git config --global user.email "your@mail.com"
+[/code]
+
+[h3]Your first contribution[/h3]
+
+Create a descriptive topic branch
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git checkout -b dev_beginning
+[/code]
+
+Make sure your local repository is up-to-date with the main project.
+Add the original repository as a remote named “upstream” if not done yet
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git remote add upstream https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/
+[/code]
+
+Fetch the newest work from that remote
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git fetch upstream
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git merge upstream/master
+[/code]
+
+Hint: You can list the branches
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git branch -v
+[/code]
+
+Make your changes. In this example it is a new doc file.
+
+Check your modifications
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git status
+[/code]
+
+Add (stage) the new file
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git add doc/dev_beginner.bb
+[/code]
+
+Commit the changes to your local branch. This will open an editor to provide a message.
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git commit -a
+[/code]
+
+Push back up to the same topic branch online
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git push
+[/code]
+
+Now you can go to your (online) account at github and create the pull request.
+
+[h3]Following contributions[/h3]
+
+In case the main devolpers want you to change something.
+Fetch the newest work from the remote upstream/master to be sure you have the latest changes.
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git fetch upstream
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git merge upstream/master
+[/code]
+Make your changes, test them, commit (to local repository), push (to online repository)
+[code]
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git status
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git commit -a -m "added modification of branch"
+surfer@debian:/var/www$ git push
+[/code]
