Hi Duarte,<br>
<br>
Sorry to hear you are having problems. We are aware that the
documentation is out of date and needs reviewing and it is high on
our list of priorities. Having your feedback about the issues you're
facing will be useful when we come to do that.<br>
<br>
See below for a couple of comments,<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your manual to how to install a local version of your
ensembl site are woefully incomplete and out ot date.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there any willingness of fixing these instructions?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A few of my remarks:</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The description on how to build configure and install and
configure Apache server and mod_perl are incomplete and even
my attempts at following the steps on my debian server simply
fail due to missing dependencies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given most people will be running servers on debian and
ubuntu and similar servers it would be very welcome a more
targeted approach to the usual default configuration of
systems after after a simple</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>sudo apt-get install git</div>
</div>
<div>sudo apt-get install apache2<br>
</div>
<div>
<div>sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2<br>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is the way I have opted to install git, apache and
mod_perl and I think because if it, I still have not been able
to setup the site properly because your setup assumes wrong
folder locations for many of the apache2 configuration files
installed in this manner.</div>

Does setting the $APACHE_DIR help ?<br>

The instructions are correct - have you checked out ensembl-git-tool
?<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>As indicated before, these instructions assume a
non-standard apache setup.</div>
<div>At least in debian and ubuntu ... there is no httpd command</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>apache2 server is started using the command :</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>sudo apache2ctl start</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this has highlighted a few of the difficulties with
your documentation</div>
<div>Maybe these are problems only to newbies like me... but at
least, maybe they can help other that are also experiencing
difficulties following your manual.</div>
