One-click install of StatusNet on DreamHost

It was with exceptional pleasure that we heard about DreamHost's plans add StatusNet to their one-click install program. DreamHost has a great reputation among Web pros for its exceptional hosting options, and we're often asked about how to install on their platform. Having the software available as a one-click install is going to help a lot of DreamHost customers.
Little did we know that the DreamHost team were planning to set up their own network! Today they announced petstatus.com, "designed for pets, by pets." We love the idea, can't wait to see more pets jumping on board.
I look forward to working closely with DreamHost to make sure StatusNet continues to work well on their platform.

I stumbled upon this page, looking for the one-click-install bug regarding the API. Are you sure it's fixed? I'm still having trouble configuring everything.

no problems running status.net on dreamhost, http://microblogs.org is hosted there, works fine so far, only had to mod the config file to get the site running...

Getting the Status.net API working on DH

by Kyle Anderson - 03/17/2010 - 21:29

Most DH users (like me) use the php-cgi method, which Status.net currently doesn't directly support. You have to add these lines in your .htaccess to get the API part of the code working:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

I saw this on the statusnet gitorious. Unfortunately, it didn't enable my api. Choqok keeps failing to authenticate.

Yes same with me, but i

Yes same with me, but i instead installed manually (not one-click) and it started working.

No idea if it was a fluke, or something went pear shaped with the DH installer at that moment... But try what i did.

@Stan, are you using a PS or shared hosting?

Thanks!

Hi Evan, I believe we've spoken before on IRC. I had planned to back when it first was in development but didn't get around to it, mostly due to lack of time and also because I felt the software was too immature at the time. I wasn't involved with this oneclick setup, but I'm very impressed at how mature the project has become and definitely look forward to working with you guys in the future!

Now if we can just figure out the issue with identi.ca's xmpp feeds and our jabber daemons... ;)
