AjaxLife Blog

I finally managed to get around to putting up some compiled stuff. Yay!
I have put up the “bin” (server) and “web” (client) archives at the Google Code project. Note that documentation is somewhere between terrible and nonexistent.

Basically, to set up AjaxLife on your server with minimum fuss, grab and extract the “bin” archive. This done:

1. Open a command prompt (Windows XP: Start menu -> Run -> type “cmd” and hit return)
2. Type “cd “, then drag in the folder that was created when you extracted the archive.
3. Type “AjaxLife.exe –root http://secure.katharineberry.co.uk/ajaxlife/” (if you’re using mono, e.g. because you’re on Linux/OS X/dislike .NET, prepend that with “mono “)

Note that the above steps assume you already have the dependencies, i.e. either .NET 2.0 or mono > 1.2.5.

If you want to not use my server for the client stuff, grab the “web” archive, extract it somewhere in your web server’s content directory (preferably supporting PHP with GD), and change the –root argument to point at it. Note that this is in relation to the web browser, not the server.
