Bebop - BibTeX publisher

Bebop requires a web server with a Java runtime(version >= 1.5) and PHP5 (with xml and xsl modules). For the proper viewing of publications, the client is required to have a Javascript enabled web browser (e.g. Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE).

• Unzip the tar.gz file in your web server. One way of doing this is as follows:

cd ~/public_html
wget http://www.alari.ch/people/derino/apps/devel/bebop-1.1.tar.gz
tar xvf bebop-1.1.tar.gz
cd bebop

(Now you are in Bebop home directory)

• Modify the parameters in user.conf.inc.php file.
• Modify the JAVA_HOME variable in Makefile to point to your server's Java bin folder.
• Modify bibtex.bib file to include your publications.
• Create bibtex.xml by issuing make

make

• Point your web browser to the URL of Bebop directory (e.g. http://yourdomain.com/~user/bebop/index.php).
• If you want to use addpub.php to add publications via an online form, make sure that you secure access to addpub.php and uploadpub.php (e.g. using .htaccess file in Apache). If not, make sure that you delete these two files or change their permission properly (as not readable by web server, e.g. chmod 400 addpub.php, chmod 400 uploadpub.php)

  (backup your bebop folder)
  # mv bebop bebop-1.0
  (extract new version as the new bebop folder)
  # tar xvf bebop-1.1.tar.gz
  (Copy the customized files from previous version.)
  # cp bebop-1.0/bibtex.bib bebop/ 
  # cp bebop-1.0/Makefile bebop/
  # cp bebop-1.0/user.conf.inc.php bebop/
  # cp bebop-1.0/copyright.php bebop/
  (Create bibtex.xml)
  # cd bebop
  # make clean
