Site is now up @ http://ideas.hackspherelabs.com

Concept

ideas.hackspherelabs.org - An idea storage and orginazation platform.

  • The site should allow one to brainstorm
  • You should be able to travel and link ideas
  • <idea> tag takes txt from other sites linked to the wiki
  • Site should allow paper sketches and such to be uploaded and notated

Temp Store

  • An array on top of the car with sensors and cameras intergrated into an in car computer.
  • A pair of sun glasses that allow you to stare at the sun, with improved image color, etc.

Idea Torrent Setup

http://www.ideatorrent.org/download http://www.ideatorrent.org/docs/en/installation.txt.html

The following pieces of software are required for IdeaTorrent to function:

  • A webserver with PHP5
  • PostgreSQL 8.3
  • Drupal 5.x OR 6.x


Steps

Note: Make sure that the user owns the database

http://fatpenguinblog.com/scott-rippee/granting-postgresql-database-and-table-ownership-privileges-to-a-new-user/ 

ALTER DATABASE mynewdb OWNER TO newuser;
  • Test connection to database
psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U drupalapp -W -d drupaldb;

 change the line:

 $db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

 to

 $db_url = 'pgsql://username:password@localhost/databasename';
Note: I had to use the full settings. That is the wizard will not try and configure the changed url. You must have the correct line.
Note: I also had to run install.php manually (I had to navigate to it)
Note: I use dreamhost. I had to do a custom php.ini and they told me that I would need to compile the module for postgreSQL (pgsql.so) but I did locate pgsql.so on the box that I was using and found a good module.
Here: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Php.ini#PHP_5.2

A snippit of documentation code from http://drupal.org/files/issues/settings_4.patch : 

+ * Specifying the database port:
+ *
+ * If you need to specify a port other than the default for your database
+ * you can put it in the $db_url:
+ * e.g:
+ *   $db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost:3306/databasename';
+ *   $db_url = 'mysqli://username:password@localhost:3306/databasename';
+ *   $db_url = 'pgsql://username:password@localhost:5432/databasename';
