Hi Duarte,<br>
<br>
We have many tasks that we consider high priority but sadly that
does not mean that we are always able to complete them as soon as
we'd like. Apologies for not being explicit about that when I
replied earlier.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<div>I was hoping that since updating the documentation on how
to set up a ensembl mirror is in your list of high priorities
you would have done this on the 81 release... Any chance it
might still be done in a near future?</div>
<div>Maybe someone with more experience than me might be able to
use their own experience and fill in the gaps/errors in your
instructions and setup their system.<br>

<div>I was hopping , since this is a priority that this would
have been updated with the new release... but it hasn't.</div>

<div>I would really like to be able to set up my own system
but the current instructions are simply not fit-for-purpose.</div>

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the documentation is out of date and needs reviewing and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>

<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>
<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>

<div>As indicated before, these instructions assume
