What is Scoop
|
Scoop is a "collaborative media application". It falls somewhere between a
content management system, a web bulletin board system, and a weblog.
Scoop is designed to enable your website to become a community. It empowers
your visitors to be the producers of the site, contributing news and discussion,
and making sure that the signal remains high.

Where can I get Scoop
|
|
You can download the latest release tarball: scoop_1.1.8.tar.gz
You can grab the nightly build. Note: This is generated automatically from the current CVS, and may not be reliable! Get that here: scoop-1.1-nightly.tar.gz
The developers strongly recommend CVS as the primary way to obtain Scoop, since releases tend to have pretty long delays between them. If you have CVS installed, do the following:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop co scoop
The above is two commands; each one must be on a single line. When prompted for a password for anonymous, enter 'anonymous' (without the quotes). For more CVS info, "Open Source Development with CVS" is an excellent online reference.

Where can I get help

There are several sources of information and support for Scoop. The first place to look is the scoop-help mailing list. You can browse the archives, or join the list. If you want to post a question, joining the list is strongly recommended. You can also join the #scoop IRC channel on SlashNET.
For documentation, there is the (largely complete) Scoop administrator's guide. You can also read the current
README and
INSTALL files, from Scoop WebCVS (username and password are both "anonymous"). The admin guide is also included with Scoop, in the doc/ directory.
If you have new feature ideas or requests, or descriptions of something you're working on for Scoop, this site is the place to submit them. You can also search this site for information. If you want to get your hands dirty, or have any questions about developing for Scoop, there is also the Scoop-dev list. You can browse the archives, or join the list.
Bug reports and patches should be filed on the Scoop Bug Muncher.
If you have any problems with this site or your user account, e-mail the Admin

I've installed scoop and not having much trouble with it. Most of the admin tools are farily easy to use and the Admin guide really helps. My question concerns customization of the colours, and annoying problem I've got with link colours.

Installation Help!!

I've tried and tried and tried. I've narrowed down the problems. I'm at a loss as to what I've missed.
Here's the scoop.. When I comment out (in startup.pl) the following lines, EVERYTHING loads up, apache works, etc.. BUT, the site doesn't work (for obvious reasons). When I uncomment the same lines, Apache loads and the promptly dies.

I tried to install scoop using the script with no luck. I also tried a manual install. But ran into road blocks in both directions. Is there some more detailed installation help available? I am trying to install it on Windows 2000. Have not really gotten mod_perl to work yet.

OK, so I'm not having any technical issues with Scoop. It's working great for me, and I've got a site almost all ready to go.
No, my question is: how do you really get a site started?

Coexistant Scoop site

I have been thinking about running a small time scoop site, however, I need it to be able to coexist with a few directories such as /mirror/. This is in itself not that difficult, however, I cannot geta directory listing of those directories (I get the scoop homepage instead).

My provider started blocking port 80 because of all the IIS worms that were running amok. Now this causes a slight problem with scoop...
