This may sound (or even be) far off, but has anybody ever thought about using antville as desktop CMS and publishing system? The thought came to me because I'm using Antville offline, as a great text & image storage & retrieval system.

While looking for an off-site solution for websites without much server functionality, I thought how nice it would be to just push a button & publish one of those antville "sites" via ftp as static pages.

That would save so much work that I'd even be willing to program it myself (not sure if I'm still able to, but... worth a try)

So, if you think this would be a good idea, help me do some brainstorming (and if you think it would be a baaad idea, just tell me why!)

I'll post my first ideas in the comments to avoid getting too longish here.

maybe i shouldn't even confess that we are testing antclick here, as this installation (linux, athlon 750, 512MB, 40GB) is connected via a merely 128kbaud line. and is going up and down for the coming days. but now it's already too late. stupid me. update: please don't expect a weblog you maybe create there to have a long life, as the whole thing has not yet started officially and we must keep the right to erase all and start again - until things work for us as they should. thanks for your understanding!

Antville.org will go down for some time within the next hour due to replacement of RAM. We hope this will fix elise's problems.

jemand bitte mal die Uhr vorstellen? Es ist jetzt 7h30 und nicht 5h30. Danke.

this how-to document is outdated. here is what i did (on mac os x).

1. get precompiled mod_jk from here. the latest version is 1.2.2. make sure you download the one for your appache version and configuration
2. points 1., 2., 3. and 4. as in said document. if necessary change the access rights for mod_jk.so
3. additionally add a line AddModule mod_jk.c further down in the httpd.conf
4. change to mountpoint for antville in apps.properties to match the one specified in mod_jk.conf. i.e. if you use tobi's setting then it is antville.mountpoint = /helma
5. uncomment the line AJP13_PORT=8009 in your hop.sh. you may or may not want (un)comment the other ports
6. restart apache. if you messed something up you will get an error
7. start helma and try localhost with "/" at the end and you should see your antville main page

Hello,

because of several problems with password-upper/lowercases and whatnot in McKoi, I would like to migrate to MySQL.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any suitable database converter on the web.

Do you have any useful tips?

For switching to mysql, I have to alter db.properties in /apps/antville, not the one in the antville root directory, as I understand...
