I'd like to install Sputnik but had no luck on Mac OS X 10.4 (x86)  
and reported this already as a bug report (#000055). However, maybe  
someone can help anyway. I used the most recent installer  
sputnik_install_8_07_07.sh, which failed:

Updating manifest for /scratch/tmp/sputnik/rocks/
sputnik_install_8_07_07.sh: line 13: kepler/htdocs/sputnik.ws: No  
such file or directory

Can anyone confirm the problem? I'd be also comfortable installing  
from GIT but rather would not install all Lua libraries manually. So,  
if there is such a way I'd be interested to hear about it. (I do know  
Lua but I'm new to Sputnik.)

When was the last time you tried this?  There were a few problems with
the main LuaRocks repository a few days ago and Kepler installation
was failing because of that.  This would produce the error that you
describe.  This issue has been fixed since and Sputnik seems to
install fine on Linux at this moment.  (I don't have access to an OSX
machine right now.)

Can you try again now and let us know if you still experience the same problem?

Yeah, don't get into manual installation of Lua yet.  Installing
Sputnik from git is easiest if you first install Kepler the normal
way, so let's get this out of the way first.

It is possible that Sputnik installation script is a bit
Linux-centered, but we can fix this perhaps.  Note that the basic
installation process is very simple conceptually:

1. Download the Kepler installer (wget
http://luaforge.net/frs/download.php/3468/kepler-install-1.1-1, but
you might want to try using curl instead).
2. Run it with parameters --prefix=$SPUTNIK (where $SPUTNIK is the
directory where you want to install everything) and --without-readline
(unless you have readline installed)
3. Install Sputnik using LuaRocks (./bin/luarocks
--from=http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/rocks/earth install sputnik)

The rest of the script just creates the files
./kepler/htdocs/sputnik.ws and sputnik.cgi

Step 2 was failing a few days ago because the repository was corrupt.
It should be fine now.  Try doing those steps one at a time and tell
me where you run into problems.

(Sorry for a slow response, we were all at the Lua workshop...)

Sputnik users Kepler (http://keplerproject.org/) as a foundation.  In
your case it looks like Kepler doesn't install right.

You can double-check this by trying to install Kepler by itself first:

    wget http://luaforge.net/frs/download.php/3468/kepler-install-1.1-1
    bash kepler-install-1.1-1 --prefix=<some_empty_directory> --without-readline

> Done. Lua is installed on /scratch/tmp/sputnik.

Ok, looks like Lua installed without problems.

> Now installing Kepler in /scratch/tmp/sputnik.

Looks like Luarocks installed ok as well.

Is your installation directory not empty?

> kepler-1.1/

Ok, we are not installing "kepler".  It looks like everything was fine
up to now.

Ok, this /tmp/foo looks a bit odd, but apparently this is Kepler's way
of testing if it's UNIX or Windows.  It runs  "mkdir -p /tmp/foo" and
sees if this gives an error.  Now, the question is: does your system
somehow not support "-p", ends up throughing an error and getting
mistaken for Windows?

> Kepler logs:          /scratch/tmp/sputnik/kepler/log
> Kepler temp dir:      /tmp

Maybe not.

Same deal, it looks like.  Again, it looks like an error is displayed,
but the system is identified as UNIX.

Now, I am guessing this is the main source of trouble...  The problem
seems to be on

    os.execute("mkdir -p " .. KEPLER_CONF)
    os.execute("cp -r " .. kepler_install_dir .. "/conf/* " .. KEPLER_CONF)

in rocks/kepler/1.1-1/bin/setup-kepler

Perhaps there is somehow a quote in KEPLER_CONF or kepler_install_dir?

> Creating /scratch/tmp/sputnik/kepler/apps

Well, from this point on it is all futile.

Fabio?

BTW, note that if you just want to use Sputnik with CGI, you can still
install it probably, since you don't need "kepler" - just wsapi.  See
my email to the list earlier today.
