======================================================
Steps that I took to install SeedDMS on Ubuntu 12.10
- a personal account and not an authoritative guide.
======================================================

Download four tar balls from;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/seeddms/files/seeddms-4.0.0-pre5/

seeddms-4.0.0-pre5.tar.gz
SeedDMS_Preview-1.0.0.tgz
SeedDMS_Lucene-1.1.1.tgz
SeedDMS_Core-4.0.0pre5.tgz

Install as follows the pear components:
sudo pear install SeedDMS_Core-4.0.0pre5.tgz
sudo pear install SeedDMS_Preview-1.0.0.tgz
sudo pear install SeedDMS_Lucene-1.1.1.tgz

Download and install the pear Log application:
wget http://download.pear.php.net/package/Log-1.12.7.tgz
sudo pear install Log-1.12.7.tgz

And zend:
sudo pear channel-discover zend.googlecode.com/svn
sudo pear install zend/zend

I installed the following packages, not all of which may be required
and you may require other packages, please check the dependencies on
the README.md for example for full text search, you need pdftotext,
catdoc, xls2csv or scconvert, cat, id3 

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql php5-mysqlnd libapache2-mod-php5
sudo apt-get install pdo_mysql php5-gd id3 scconvert
sudo apt-get install php-http-webdav-server
sudo apt-get install zend-framework zend-framework-bin
sudo apt-get install libzend-framework-zendx-php
sudo apt-get install libjs-dojo-core libjs-dojo-dijit libjs-dojo-dojox
sudo apt-get install libzend-framework-php (It kept bitching about Zend so I just kept piling on packages until it worked)

mbstring is already a part of libapache2-mod-php5
pepper:~> show libapache2-mod-php5|grep mbstring
 mbstring mhash openssl pcre Phar posix Reflection session shmop SimpleXML
 

Define three locations:
[1] Some cosy place in yourfile system for the source files to which you
will link
I chose "/opt/seeddms-4.0.0-pre5/"
untar seeddms-4.0.0-pre5.tar.gz into this location

[2] Make a directory and three subdirectories for the data for your site;
I chose to do this under "/opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test/data"
sudo mkdir -p /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test/data/lucene/
sudo mkdir /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test/data/staging/
sudo mkdir /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test/data/cache/

Give ownership (or write access) to your httpd process to those directories;
sudo chown -cvR  www-data  /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test/data/

[3] Somewhere under your www root, make a directory for the sources of
your site:
These can be of course under different virtual domains.
/var/www/www.mydomain.eu/seeddms_multisite_test 
cd /var/www/www.mydomain.eu/seeddms_multisite_test; 
sudo ln -s /opt/seeddms-4.0.0-pre5 src (README.md does not include the `src'!)
ln -s src/inc inc
ln -s src/op op
ln -s src/out out
ln -s src/js js
ln -s src/views views
ln -s src/languages languages
ln -s src/styles styles
ln -s src/themes themes
ln -s src/install install
ln -s src/index.php index.php

If need be;
sudo chown -cvR  www-data /var/www/www.mydomain.eu/seeddms_multisite_test/

Create Dataabse;
Run the following sql commands to create your db and a user with
appropriate privileges.

mysql> create database seeddms_multisite_test;
mysql> grant all privileges on seeddms_multisite_test.* to seeddms@localhost identified by 'your_passwd';


Point your browser to the  location of your instance as in [3] above
and /install
I resorted to a text browser on my server due to failure to access the
db from a remote browser;

pepper:~> elinks www.mydomain.eu/seeddms_multisite_test/install

This is how I filled it in;
                                                            SeedDMS: INSTALL
   SeedDMS Installation for version 4.0.0

   Server settings
   Root directory:                /opt/seeddms-4.0.0-pre5/_______________________
   Http Root:                     /seeddms_multisite_test/_______________________
   Content directory:             /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test/data___________
   Directory for full text index: /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test/data/lucene/___
   Directory for partial uploads: /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test/data/staging/__
   Core SeedDMS directory:        _______________________________________________
   Lucene SeedDMS directory:      _______________________________________________
   Extra PHP include Path:        _______________________________________________
   Database settings
   Database Type:                 mysql________________
   Server name:                   localhost____________
   Database:                      seeddms_multisite_tes
   Username:                      seeddms______________
   Password:                      ********_____________
   Create database tables:        [X]

   [ Apply ]


If all is okay (and I hope this happens more quickly for you than for me),
you should be notified accordingly and invited to login to your new site
with credentials admin/admin. (This password is cleverly set to expire
in a couple of days. So do not get a shock like I did when it suddenly
does not work).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To make additional sites;

If you wish to make additional sites, you need to copy the data directories thusly;
sudo cp -avr  /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test_2
And the sources thusly;
sudo cp -avr /var/www/www.mydomain.eu/seeddms_multisite_test /var/www/www.mydomain.eu/seeddms_multisite_test_2

And of course make data directories for this site:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test_2/data/lucene/
sudo mkdir /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test_2/data/staging/
sudo mkdir /opt/dms/seeddms_multisite_test_2/data/cache/

Then create another database as shown above but of course give the db
another name.
Run the install again from the new location.
