NAME

Axyl - A Php platform for website development

SYNOPSIS

create-axyl-website.sh
setup-axyl.sh
/etc/init.d/axyl-lucene

DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly introduces the Axyl web-develop

ment platform. Axyl is a framework for creating websites using

the Php programming language. Database support is provided in a

DB-independent manner with modules supplied for Postgresql (pre

ferred), Oracle, MS-SQL Server, MySQL, and ODBC. Websites can al

so easily be developed with no database-backing. Support is also

provided for Lucene, the industrial-strength search engine devel

oped as part of the Apache project (http://lucene.apache.org).

This is a Java daemon (Debian users must install the axyl-lucene

package) which listens on a user specified port for XML commands

to either index or search. Other features include template-driv

en content, themed look and feel, wysiwyg content-management in

terface for users, built-in menu and security system, and a GUI

control-panel.

OPTIONS

create-axyl-website.sh Used to spawn a new Axyl website

from the Axyl installation. This shell script does everything re

quired for you to start a new project, and is found in the

install sub-directory of the Axyl installation. It creates the

directory hierarchy which the website will be served from and

makes all the necessary links, copies etc. to set you up.
setup-axyl.sh This script is also located in the Axyl

install directory and is intended to be used by people who have

acquired Axyl from CVS, an RPM, or from a tarball. It sets up the

configuration file (/etc/axyl/axyl.conf) up, installs the Lucene

Server and does one or two other things which the Debian package

would normally do automatically. Advanced users only - we recom

mend using the Debian package instead.
/etc/init.d/axyl-lucene start|stop|restart This is the

Axyl LuceneServer start/stop script. The installation will have

made sure that the daemon starts on reboot automatically. You can

manually start, stop and restart it using this script as root

from the command line. Post-installation, the daemon should have

been started for you.

FILES

/etc/axyl/axyl.conf Contains the basic setup locations for

the Axyl installation and also the Port setting for Lucene.

Should be left alone, as-installed. FYI only.

documentation of all is always the code ;-)
