You can run Memories through CGI or Apache's mod_perl:

- The CGI script is /usr/lib/cgi-bin/memories.cgi.

- Use of mod_perl is configured in /etc/memories/apache.conf,
  which by default uses the path /memories/.  If you use mod_perl
  you must also enable mod_apreq.  If both these modules are
  enabled for Apache 2 when Memories is installed or upgraded,
  Memories is added to the Apache configuration automatically.
  To do this later, run:
      ln -s ../../memories/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/memories

In order to run Memories you will need to set up a database with the
schema given in /usr/share/memories/memories.sql and grant the
www-data user permission to delete, insert, select and update in all
the tables in that schema.  Currently only MySQL databases are
supported.  You can set up a suitable database with the following
commands in the mysql client:

    mysql> create database memories;
    mysql> use memories
    mysql> source /usr/share/memories/memories.sql
    mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on * to 'www-data';
    mysql> quit

The configuration file for Memories itself is /etc/memories/Config.pm.
You will almost certainly need to change the 'uri_base' and
'data_store_external' parameters in this to match your web site
configuration.  You will also need to change the 'dsn' parameter if
the database name is not 'memories'.
