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!

I was in the middle of manually editing the User.pm file, then I saw your comment, saved what I had done, then I tried patch -p1 < foo2.patch, which, in retrospect, I shouldn't have done. Because I got the same error as before.
Now I just have to either stick with manual updating or see if I can revert to the original User.pm.

cd $LJHOME
cp cvs/dw-free/cgi-bin/LJ/User.pm cgi-bin/LJ/User.pm
cp cvs/dw-free/cgi-bin/ljlib-local.pl cgi-bin/ljlib-local.pl
cp cvs/dw-free/htdocs/_config.bml htdocs/_config.bml
...and then try again.
(ljlib-local.pl will be deleted by the patch anyway, but you may as well copy it just so patch gets what it's expecting)

That worked perfectly. Ran the patch, ran checkconfig...
All good. (even though checkconfig doesn't check everything yet).
Thank you all for the superfast help!
