UCOSP code sprint: day 2
Saturday, September 26, 2009
Today our task was to let the CMS, Drupal, to know about the following modules: GMap, Location, OpenLayers. I am new to Ingres and find it would be helpful if there is an "all in a page step by step tutorial" out there for newbies like me. So there you go!
Tutorial for newbies to start working on Ingres Geospatial on Windows XP 32 bit
- Every step in the following should be done with the latest update/release
- Step through the guide in the movie to download and install Ingres. If you are using home edition, make sure that the Windows'user name that you are logged in with does not contain any space.
- Get Xampp - A tool with PHP, Apache, etc and all the necessary configurations in one package.
- Note that "//xampp/htdocs/" is the root of your "website".
- Get and install Drupal.

UCOSP code sprint: day 1
Friday, September 25, 2009
We started off 9am in the morning, with a demo by Andrew Ross about Ingres and valuable advices for our later career. After the lunch, our task for today is to get Apache, PHP, and configured them to work with each other, as well as to get Drupal installed.
I already have the first three on my machine from a all in one package that I have for quite a while: XAMPP. I went smooth myself for the installation back then, but there are various problems encountered by my teammates.
On top of the issue that I had with installation of Ingres. I found that the usability of installation process also has room to be improved for newbies. I would prefer myself not to spend 3 straight days at the code sprint to get every plugin and features into their own place, but use my time more usefully with everyone else. Nevertheless, I had a good time with them!
