Introduction

Special thanks to the folks at BitRock for working with us on the installers.

The Ringside installer package contains all the stuff you need to get started with social application development:

• Apache/MySQL/PHP
• PHP Extensions for Deploying and Development
  • For Development : PhpDocumentor, PHPUnit, phing, Xdebug, XSL
  • For Social Server : CURL, Tidy, MDB2, Cache_Lite, MBString
• PHPMyAdmin
• Ringside Social Application Server
  • REST-based API Server (including growing support for FB API)
  • Social DSL Rendering (including a growing FBML support)
  • Extension APIs (APIs not available in public Social networks)
  • Web Layer (A demo/starter community )

Install Start

Install Ringside for your platform:

	windows	linux	mac
Start Notes	Double click the installer application to run	Make the installer executable chmod +x RingsideNetworks-1.0-0-linux-installer.bin Execute the installer (does NOT require root) ./RingsideNetworks-1.0-0-linux-installer.bin	Un-compress the .tgz file to Desktop  Double click the installer application to run

If you are installing on Windows, and you wish to install the software in a directory that has one or more spaces in it, you must ensure that Windows has 8.3 name support enabled. To see if your Windows has 8.3 name support, run this at a cmd window: "fsutil.exe behavior query disable8dot3". If it shows that setting is "1", then you must either elect to install in a directory that has no spaces in it or you must enable 8.3 by executing this: "fsutil.exe behavior set disable8dot3 0". If you do have to change that setting, you must reboot your Windows machine prior to running the installer in order for it to take effect.
