| − | == Get a Dreamhack ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | What's a Dreamhack? To put it simply, it's a mirror of the Dreamwidth site where you can test your changes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | #Apply for a Dreamhack by [http://hack.dreamwidth.net/apply.shtml filling this form]. | + | |
| − | #Get [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html PuTTY] - choose the 'Windows installer for everything except PuTTYtel' .exe file - and install it.
| + | |
| − | #Run PuTTY. In the configuration window, enter "hack.dreamwidth.net" for the host name. Go to Connection/Data and enter the username/login given to you in the welcome e-mail. It should be something like dh-xxx. You may also want to change the Window/Appearance, Window/Colours and Window/Selection settings. Once you're done, go back to Session. Select Default Settings and click on Save.
| + | |
| − | #Click on Open. Click Yes on the pop-up message box.
| + | |
| − | #Enter the password given to you in the welcome e-mail when asked. Note that no characters are displayed and the cursor won't move. It's normal.
| + | |
| − | #Change your password by typing: <source lang="bash">passwd</source>
| + | |
| − | #On your Dreamhack, the default user is called 'system'. You need to set its password so you can access this account. Type: <source lang="bash">$LJHOME/bin/upgrading/make_system.pl</source>
| + | |
| − | #Once you're done type: <source lang="bash">start-apache</source>
| + | |
| − | #You can access your Dreamhack at [http://yourusername.hack.dreamwidth.net/ http://yourusername.hack.dreamwidth.net/] and log in as system. You may want to upgrade your account to a paid one by [http://www.ninetydegrees.hack.dreamwidth.net/admin/capedit going here].

| − | == Install WinSCP ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | What for? WinSCP will allow you to see and manage the files of your Dreamhack. You'll use it to edit the theme/layout files.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | #Install [http://winscp.net/eng/download.php WinSCP]. I chose the Explorer mode because I don't need to access any files on my computer but choose what's best for you.
| + | |
| − | #Use "hack.dreamwidth.net" for the host name. Enter your username and password. Click on Save then on Login.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Set Up Your Dreamhack ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Again?! Yes, you need to create some files that will make keeping your Dreamhack up-to-date easier.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | #Follow the steps outlined at [[Dreamhack_getting_started#Back_up_your_configs|Back Up Your Configs]]. N.B. To create files, go to WinSCP, go to the right directory, right-click on New/File and edit.
| + | |
| − | #Also create the dwu, dws and dwdb scripts as explained in [[Dev_Maintenance#Scripting|Scripting]].
| + | |
| − | #In PuTTY, type this then Enter:
| + | |
| − | <source lang="bash">cd $LJHOME/cvs/dw-free
| + | |
| − | hg qinit -c</source>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This will create a directory where your patches will be put into: <code>~/dw/csv/dw-free/.hg/patches/</code>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Do the same thing with dw-nonfree if you're working with non-free styles:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <source lang="bash">cd $LJHOME/cvs/dw-nonfree
| + | |
| − | hg qinit -c</source>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The directory will be: <code>~/dw/csv/dw-nonfree/.hg/patches/</code>
