Hi all! I've been tinkering with creating an LJ site of my own on and off for a bit, but as firefoxfey can tell you, with vanilla LJ, its been made of fail, because manually configuring Apache 1.3.x and I don't mix. So when she told me that DW was Apache2 friendly, I thusly said YAY! And have been excited about getting my hands dirty again.
I've run into my first problem. I saw this, which the same problem that I am running into. Contained within the comments is the link to this patch, which I have saved as foo.patch in my $LJHOME directory. When I try to run
patch -p0 < foo.patch
I get this:
dw@ubuntu:~$ patch -p0 < foo.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 12
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

File to patch:
Based on that, I try to give it $LJHOME/cgi-bin/LJ/User.pm, which doesn't exist, so the script failed. I got the same thing when I sudo'd the command. I also tried to run
hg qimport foo.patch
From here: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Patches#Applying_Patches
And I got 'parameter not recognized.'
I'm an IT tech by day, so you can drop some technobabble at me, but I am NOT by any means a programmer/developer! I took a class of Perl in college, but that's about it. This is also my first foray into building a server other than a fileserver.
So please. Tell me what probably simple thing I'm doing wrong so I can move on to squeeing about finally getting a webserver workening!
