You should now just about have a working LiveJournal installation.

There are many things you can still do, but all are outside the scope of this document.

<para>
|

|
|
To check that everything is setup okay, you should run the provided configuration checking tool,
|
||
|
|
located at <filename><envar>$LJHOME</envar>/bin/checkconfig.pl</filename>. <filename>checkconfig.pl</filename>
|
||
|
|
will check for missing perl modules, attempt to connect to your database, and do other checks to ensure everything will work smoothly.

<para>Note that doing a "graceful" or "restart" is not guaranteed to work. The LiveJournal code
|
||
|
|
doesn't implement any mod_perl restart handlers, and weird things have been reported to happen
|

|
|
using <userinput>apachectl restart</userinput>.

To administrate your site properly, you will need to create the system user that'll have

you set and then grant priviledges from the admin section to other users:
