= Setup Debian Server for May First/People Link =

The process for setting up a new MFPL shared server is now automated via [wiki:server_setup new server setup scripts]. 

These scripts are all designed to be run from your local workstation, not from the server being worked on.

To setup a new server:

 * [wiki:server_setup checkout the admin svn repository].
 * Change into the admin/scripts directory
{{{
cd admin/scripts
}}}
 * Run the execute-directive command, passing the name of your target server (the hostname, not fully qualified domain name) and "standard" to indicate that it should install all directives in the standard profile:
{{{
./execute-directive <server-name> standard
}}}
