Recently, Mozilla foundation released a new version of Mozilla Weave server (version 1.0). You can download the latest version on this website and read the ...documentation... on the dedicated wiki.

I have to say that, using the full version, I spent almost 3 days on trying to update my previous installation and have something I can use.

So I decided, again, to share with you my configuration files so that people can install their personal weave server.

Virtualhost configuration file:

<VirtualHost *>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@metabaron.net

	Alias /1.0 /var/www/mozilla/server/sync/1.0/index.php
	Alias /user/1 /var/www/mozilla/server/user/1/index.php
        Alias /misc/1/captcha_html /var/www/mozilla/server/misc/1/captcha.php
	
	ServerName mozilla.metabaron.net
	DocumentRoot /var/www/mozilla/server/

	<Directory /var/www/mozilla/server/>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride none
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
	</Directory>

	ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/mozilla.metabaron.net-error.log

	# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
	# alert, emerg.
	LogLevel warn

	CustomLog /var/log/apache2/mozilla.metabaron.net-access.log combined
	ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

weave_user_constants.php file: Change

if (!defined('WEAVE_REGISTER_STORAGE_LOCATION')) { define('WEAVE_REGISTER_STORAGE_LOCATION', 'null'); }

to

if (!defined('WEAVE_REGISTER_STORAGE_LOCATION')) { define('WEAVE_REGISTER_STORAGE_LOCATION', 'XXX.metabaron.net'); }

Important: If you are using, as I'm using, a HTTP server and not a HTTPS, find all references to https and change them for http If you don't want to use Captcha when registering a new user, change

if (!defined('WEAVE_REGISTER_USE_CAPTCHA')) { define('WEAVE_REGISTER_USE_CAPTCHA', 0); }

to

if (!defined('WEAVE_REGISTER_USE_CAPTCHA')) { define('WEAVE_REGISTER_USE_CAPTCHA', 1); }

Of course, you'll have to change the databases tables for the new one (read the wiki documentation).

If you already have a user, you'll only have to select Start over from the preferences and point to your custom server, your user will be recreated on the weave server and your data uploaded on the new weave installation.

I hope this will help some of you.

After doing some updates on visualcard.me, I tried to see how augmented reality can be use to display videos. The purpose was to being able to stream FLV files and to display them using augmented reality.
Here is what I come up with:

1. Print Marker PDFthe maker (same marker as for all my other examples)
2. Download the Augmented reality displaying videoflash applet
3. Click on the video will stop/start it.

Hope you'll like and let me know if you have questions
