Installing BibORB

Installing BibORB 1.3.2.

Requirements

BibORB is based on PHP, XML, XSL and use web pages formated using XHTML/CSS standards. Consequently, you should ensure that:
  • PHP (>=4.0.3) is installed on your webserver.
  • PHP XSLT functions are available.
  • MySQL or any other database if you wish to use authentication.

Install

The bibs directory contains all bibliographies created by BibORB as well as the electronic releases of papers that would have been uploaded.

Under the hypothesis that the bibliography named "test" exists, the directory bibs is structured as follows:

    bibs/
     |->test/
         |->test.bib
         |->test.xml
         |->description.txt
         |->papers/
             |->...lots of pdf, ps, ps.gz :) ...
     |->otherdatabases.....

References are stored in the test.xml but a BibTeX copy can be maintained up-to-date for convenience. It is also possible to modify directly the test.bib file to modify your bibliography and then use "Update from BibTeX" in the Admin BibORB menu to update the BibORB bibliography. (it may be usefull for users who edit their BibTeX file with other tools).
