How-To install Silva0.9 on OSX (Macintosh OS X)

 

This How-To describes the installation of Python, Zope and Silva on MacOSX

The ETH-Zurich start working with the Product Silva from Infrae as a web-based XML authoring and publication system. My goal was to bring Silva to my preferred platform (Macintosh), so I can build my own CMS and improve my knowledge.

My Tutorial:

How-To_Install_Silva0.9_OSX (pdf)

How-To_Install_Silva0.9_OSX (rft)

Important: I get some reports that after the installation of the instance you get an error if you start Zope:

File /opt/ZOPE/ZOPE2.5.1/Zope-2.5.1-src/z2.py, line 690, in ?
> IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
> '/opt/ZOPE/ZOPESITES/TEMPLATE_SILVA-0.9.0/var/Z2.pid'

If this is the case, please check the permission of the "var" directory of your instance.

Be shure that the var directory has the permissions showed below!

drwxrwx--- 11 zope daemon 374 Dec 29 19:00 var

Install script for Mac OSX

Marc Petitmermet wrote an extensive install script for Mac OSX. It installs all dependencies and creates a Silva instance. Based on my How-To and other install documents, this script is very well commented, easy to customize, and even comes with instructions and tips.

You will find this script on Marc's members-page
