RewriteBase \/<\/pre>\nI have to do this because .htaccess sits in the same directory in which I installed laconica.<\/p>\n
Email<\/h2>\n
I set up a new email address at laconica@laconica.domain.tld. I specified the following in the config.php file:<\/p>\n
#Email info, used for all outbound email\r\n$config['mail']['notifyfrom'] = 'laconica@laconica.domain.tld';\r\n$config['mail']['domain'] = 'laconica.domain.tld';\r\n# See http:\/\/pear.php.net\/manual\/en\/package.mail.mail.factory.php for options\r\n$config['mail']['backend'] = 'smtp';\r\n$config['mail']['params'] = array(\r\n 'host' => 'mail.laconica.domain.tld',\r\n 'port' => 25,\r\n 'auth' => true,\r\n 'username' => 'laconica@laconica.domain.tld',\r\n 'password' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'\r\n );\r\n#For incoming email, if enabled. Defaults to site server name.\r\n#$config['mail']['domain'] = 'incoming.example.net';<\/pre>\nNote that that last (commented) line is redundant. Unfortunately, posting by email won’t work. What needs to happen is a php script needs to get executed upon receipt of an email. This can’t happen, because DreamHost doesn’t support email addresses being tied to UNIX accounts. I’d like to disable the laconica “Post by email” feature altogether, but I’m not sure how.<\/p>\n
Jabber\/XMPP<\/h2>\n
One nice feature with DreamHost is that you can host your own Jabber accounts. I set up a custom-hosted Jabber account laconica@laconica.domain.tld for a post\/notify bot. It hasn’t activated yet, so I have no confirmation on whether it works. Anyway, here are the changes to config.php:<\/p>\n
# xmpp
\n$config[‘xmpp’][‘enabled’] = true;
\n$config[‘xmpp’][‘server’] = ‘laconica.domain.tld’;
\n#$config[‘xmpp’][‘host’] = NULL;\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 # Only set if different from server
\n$config[‘xmpp’][‘port’] = 5222;
\n$config[‘xmpp’][‘user’] = ‘laconica’;
\n$config[‘xmpp’][‘encryption’] = false;
\n$config[‘xmpp’][‘resource’] = ‘zzzzzzz’;
\n$config[‘xmpp’][‘password’] = ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’;
\n$config[‘xmpp’][‘public’][] = ‘laconica@laconica.domain.tld’;

I got a laconica install going on DreamHost. I’ve been able to post from the web, but I’ve found that posting from email won’t work with DreamHost. The jury is still out on posting from Jabber, but I’m optimistic. I’ll update this post when I know more.
