Firebird-Mezzanine = Firebird and Django’s WordPress alternative : Mezzanine

Here are my install instructions on Ubuntu/Debian for Mezzanine CMS

First install Firebird 2.5.2 , Then install django and fdb driver

sudo pip install django

sudo pip install fdb

sudo pip install mezzanine

Install django-firebird driver like is described on the github page

Create new mezzanine project:

mezzanine-project firebird-mezzanine

cd firebird-mezzanine

create empty database from isql-fb / flamerobin

isql-fb

SQL> create database “localhost:/var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/firebird-mezzanine.fdb” user ‘SYSDBA’ password ‘masterkey’;

SQL> quit;

create local config for firebird

python manage.py createdb

python manage.py runserver

look at the first results after the wordpress import (i was so impressed that i have removed the old wordpress.com account)

next step : blogspot import is in progress
