Scripting

This section deals with all the coding that went into putting up this website.

Among the topics covered, I will talk about how I installed Bricolage on My OSX Laptop, including updating perl, installing a custom apache configuration, and compiling it with all the required modules. Most of the info here is also covered in David Wheeler's documentation, though there are a couple of wrinkles I found in my install that are not.

There will also be info about running two instances of Apache on an OSX machine, (one for bricolage, the other for preview displays) as well as the oddities of the startup scripts on OSX, and how to ensure that Apache always starts.

Other topics will include general scripting for this site, including examples of Perl, Javascript, PHP, and Bricolage templating.
