Installing AMPOS2


Typo3 needs a server with PHP and a MYSQL server for the database. And thanks to the AMPOS2..Apache/2+MySQL/2+PHP/2+OS/2 ...) package created by "www.amp4ecs.de". We can install everything with one Warpin package.
  • Download the the warpin file: ampos2-a22-20081227.wpi.
  • Start the install, click through the license agreements until you get to the packages page. Make sure the everything is selected. Double click on the OS/2 Libraries and the phpMyAdmin option. Then click NEXT and the create directories dialog will display. Click YES, then the install 8 packages dialog will display. Click YES and press the INSTALL button to install everything.
  • Reboot the system

Now we need to get the Typo3 package.
  • Download this file to get typo3. Unzip the packages to any place. The include CMD file will download all the necessary files and make all the OS/2 specific changes for you.
  • Open command line in that new folder, call GetTYPO3v4forOS2.cmd with option -t4:1
  • Move resulting folder "dummy-4.1.5" to data folder \htdocs of your apache server. You can rename the folder, I renamed it to "os2notes".
  • Create an empty data file ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL in folder \typo3conf
  • Start server "Apache" and "MySQL", call localhost/yourRenamedFolder/ in your favorite browser to finish the configuration of typo3!

Scoll down to the end of the page and press 'Write to localconf.php'.  And that is it for the setup of TYPO3!!!  Click on "Frontend website in new window." to see TYPO3 in action! Unfortunately there is not much to see yet, since we have not create your web site.
