1. Introduction

1.1 Homepage

If you got this document from a Linux HOWTO mirror site or a CD-ROM, you might want to check back to the MMBase Mini-HOWTO home page to see if there's a newer version around.

This document only covers a very small portion of MMBase installation, for the official documentation visit MMBase home page.

Finally, this is my first HOWTO, my first experience with linuxdoc and I am no expert on MMBase either. I am just trying to share my solutions to some problems I encountered while installing MMBase on a Debian system.

1.5 Acknowledgements

I would like to thank a number of people for helping me during my quest for a clean installation. Although I do not know their names, their nicknames on irc are: keesj, jdg, flax, scb2. I hope they forgive me for not trying to find out their real names.

I would also like to thank my employer, the University of Twente for allowing me to write this document during working hours.
