Get the source from SVN

svn co svn://axkit.org/axkit2

Set up your directory structure

See DirectoryLayout. I guess the first example works.

Install necessary CPAN modules

Go to axkit2/trunk. Run ./axkit. Install whatever it says it can't locate using CPAN.

Run the server

Enable documentation

  • Edit etc/axkit.conf
  • Uncomment the 3 lines under the "Docs DEMO" section
  • Restart the server (Ctrl-C in the ./axkit window, and then run ./axkit again)

It seems that Axkit2 comes with all of the different modules turned off by default. So, if you want to see another sample (e.g. XSLT) you need to uncomment that section of the config as well.

Try some tests

Try some of the tests for whatever modules you want to use.
