The irritating part was that it was SQLite causing the problem because it’s a dependency of the Typo gem. No idea why. But I don’t want to SQLite – I’m running MySQL on Apache.

So anyway, here’s how I got it working. Thanks to sprewell on the Typo IRC channel.

  1. Download Typo from Subversion.

    svn co svn://typosphere.org/svn/typo/trunk typo

  2. Make sure that you’re inside that directory that was downloaded from Subversion.

    bin/typo config ~/typo web-server=external database=mysql

  3. Grab the MySQL schema from db/mysql.schema.sql and manually run it on your MySQL database of choice.

  4. Go into config/ and make sure you get the database.yml file set-up to use your database settings.

  5. Access your Typo install in your browser and you should get a prompt asking you for your admin details.

  6. Blog away!

Mainly this week that has been ‘The Polar Express’ soundtrack by Alan Silvestri (composer of the Forest Gump soundtrack).

Also, Typo should now been pinging blog-sites so they all know I’ve updated, which is nice and handy.

The next new addition that I’ll have to try out by updating some of my old posts, is syntax colouring :)

Update

I appear to be getting errors when either creating or editing posts :( However, the edit, or new post seems to be executed and not lost…

I get the following:

Application error (Rails)

The error message doesn’t help much. But I think that’s probably down to my Typo instance being in the Production environment of Rails. If I go back into Development, then I should get more details I hope… Anyway, I’m too tired tonight so I’ll try and fix it tomorrow.

Ok, so morning has now come and I’m now in the Development environment and I get a hell of a ton more information now. It’s to do with a MySQL error in /app/views/admin/content/show.rhtml. So right now I’m in the IRC channel trying to find an answer.

Appears as though the article_id field was missing from the resources table. I added it in manually and everything is working now.
