| |
|
| |

| |
| # port 80 access (default web port)

| |
|
| |
| ===Installation===
| |
|
| |
| ====Important points====
| |
| * You need to use Ubuntu 10.04.x (Luicd) 32-bit (i386). Not 64-bit (amd64)
| |
| * Options:
| |
| ** Official Ubuntu distro - http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu-releases/10.04.2/ubuntu-10.04.2-server-i386.iso (or use a local mirror closer to you).
| |
| ** Using a pre-built turnkey appliance can save some time - http://www.turnkeylinux.org/core
| |
|
| |
| ====First step:====
| |
| Install Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid 32-bit on a virtual machine or a real computer.
| |
|
| |
| ====Commands====
| |
| ''The following commands should be executed as root (or using sudo)''
| |
| apt-get update
| |
| apt-get -y install python-software-properties
| |
| apt-add-repository 'deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner'
| |
| apt-add-repository ppa:timothy-john-phillips/mirc
| |
| apt-get update
| |
| apt-get -y install mirc
| |
|
| |
| You will be asked to agree to the terms and conditions of Sun Java and then to ImageIO. Agree to it all.
| |
|
| |
| ===Usage===
| |
|
| |
| ====Web access to the MIRC site====
| |
|
| |
| Point a web browswer at the IP address of your Ubuntu machine and you should see your new MIRC site.
| |
|
| |
| Administrator access:
| |
| * username = admin
| |
| * password = password
| |
|
| |
| ====Manual Startup and Shutdown (rarely needed)====
| |
|
| |
| From the command line:
| |
| To start the mirc server
| |
| service mirc start
| |
| To shutdown the mirc server
| |
| service mirc stop
| |
| To restart the mirc server
| |
| service mirc restart
| |
|
| |
| ====What happens behind the scenes====
| |
| # Installing the mirc-z1 package automatically installs two other packages
| |
| ## sun-java6-jre - this is the official Sun (Oracle) Java 1.6 JRE package, which lives in the partner repository.
| |
| ## jai-imageio-1.1 - this is a package I created to automate the installation of the Sun (Oracle) ImageIO libraries.
| |
| # the MIRC/CTP files are put into /usr/share/mirc/
| |
| # An Ubuntu Upstart script (mirc.conf) is installed in the /etc/init/ folder.
| |
|
| |
| I've made these repositories to simplify the installation of MIRC on Linux. It eliminates the fiddling with Java Image IO tools.
| |
| I plan to update it with each release of MIRC Zx.
| |
|

| Hope this helps someone. Appreciate any feedback. - timothy.john.phillips@gmail.com
