RSS2Jabber

Installation

• apt-get install php4-cli mysql-server php4-mysql
  • create an admin account on mysql if not yet done, cf Mysql
• Get it from BerliOS
• Untar it under /usr/local/lib/rss2jabber
• Create a user:group rss2jabber:rss2jabber
  • home:/usr/local/lib/rss2jabber shell:/usr/bin/php
• chown -R rss2jabber:rss2jabber /usr/local/lib/rss2jabber
• Create mysql elements:

mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE rss2jabber;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rss2jabber.* TO rss2jabber@jabber.hellea.net IDENTIFIED BY 'rsskey';
mysql> USE rss2jabber;
mysql> SOURCE db.sql;

• I'm not sure if the bit can register itself the first time so I created its jabber account with a regular client
• Edit config.inc.php with your DB and server params
• mkdir /var/log/jabber/rss2jabber
• chown rss2jabber:rss2jabber /var/log/jabber/rss2jabber

Test

su - rss2jabber /usr/local/lib/rss2jabber/rss2jabber.php

Run

• Edit config.inc.php and change verbosity level

su - rss2jabber /usr/local/lib/rss2jabber/rss2jabber.php >& /var/log/jabber/rss2jabber/log &

Still needs to daemonize the stuff...

? cron: pgrep -f rss2jabber.php >/dev/null || su - rss2jabber /usr/local/lib/rss2jabber/rss2jabber.php >& /var/log/jabber/rss2jabber/log &

Usage

add JID:<rssuser@yourjabber_server> to your contacts and send it the command: help
