According to Etherpad.org there is a package which is the preferred method to install (not the above as presented by Mikko): http://doc.etherpad.org/ep/pad/view/ro.lRwwt2zukr/latest
Basically, after enabling the partners reporsitory (so sun-java6-jdk becomes available): 1. Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://etherpad.org/apt all . 2. apt-get update 3. apt-get install etherpad 4. Answer the questions (if any, depends on your system settings) 5. /etc/init.d/etherpad start 6. Go to localhost:9000 I have tested both (Mikko's and etherpad.org's package) on 10.04LTS VMs and both resulted in a usable but only locally accessible install. When trying to reach the Etherpad install from another host I got an error about reaching www.false.com:9000. It seems a superdomains variable needs to be set but I haven't found clear documentation about this. You may also encounter memory error and the only way I could start the server was to reboot and then: 1- cd /usr/share/etherpad 2. sudo ./bin/run.sh -- [needs-packaging] etherpad - web based collaborative real-time editor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563484 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
