-The easiest MIRC install ever. ''Updated to Z1''
+#REDIRECT [[Running CTP as a Linux Service]]
-===Included features===
-# Automates the (usually annoying) Installation of Java ImageIO libraries.
-# Port 80 access (default web port)
-# Automatically starts at boot up and closes at shutdown.
-===Installation===
-====Important points====
-* You need to use Ubuntu 10.04.x (Lucid), 10.10 (Maverick), or 11.04 (Natty)
-* 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (amd64) architectures are now supported
-* Desktop and Server versions are both supported.
-* Options:
-** Official Ubuntu distros - http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu-releases/ (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 (Lucid, Maverick, or Natty) 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 package automatically installs
-# The latest MIRC (currently Z1) into /usr/share/mirc/
-# The sun-java6-jre package- this is the official Sun (Oracle) Java 1.6 JRE package, which lives in the partner repository.
-# The jai-imageio-1.1 package - this is a package I created to automate the installation of the Sun (Oracle) ImageIO libraries.
-# An Ubuntu Upstart script (mirc.conf) is installed - this automates the startup and shutdown of the MIRC server.
-===Why did I bother?===
-I've made these repositories to simplify the installation of MIRC on Linux (faster than Windows, and free).
-At the very least 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
