ZhurnalyWiki: Oddmuse Local

To make a local version of the Oddmuse ZhurnalyWiki on an Apple Macintosh under OS-X:

copy the Oddmuse scripts from http://zhurnaly.com/cgi-bin/ to /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/
- call the main script "wiki" and the Oddmuse current script "wiki.pl"
- edit "wiki" to point to the local Oddmuse data directory and to the Oddmuse main Perl script:
  - $DataDir = '/Library/WebServer/Documents/oddmuse';
  - do 'wiki.pl';
- change the file permissions to permit the web server to run the scripts
create the data directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/oddmuse/" and change its permissions to permit the web server to read and write in it
copy the Oddmuse "config" file to the oddmuse data directory
create a directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/oddmuse/modules/"
copy the Oddmuse modules to the modules directory
from the web browser visit http://localhost/cgi-bin/wiki and see if an empty HomePage is displayed
if desired, copy the files from http://zhurnaly.com/ oddmuse directory to create an image/replica including the historical versions of the files
alternatively, use wikicopy to copy the files over without their histories
- alas, wikicopy (see [1]) needs Perl's LWP module (which I don't seem to have!)
