Snap C++ CMS

Fast Websites: Powerful CMS for Apache written in C++

To use, we recommend you first test with the binary version. Later you can test with the source. It takes time to understand how things work. It is a large project.

# apt-add-repository ppa:snapcpp/ppa
# apt-get update
# apt-get install snapmanagercgi

The snapmanager is then accessible on your server as https://www.example.com/snapmanager

Everything can be installed from the Snap! Manager interface, including Cassandra and Postfix.

For installations on your software development system, you want to start by cloning snapcpp from https://github.com/m2osw/snapcpp -- make sure to clone recursively:

# git clone --recursive https://github.com/m2osw/snapcpp.git snapcpp

**WARNING:** the recursive cloning may not get you the latest of each sub-module. Please verify that it is not saying "HEAD-DETACHED". If it does, look at the following page to fix the problem: https://linux.m2osw.com/creating-new-git-repository

For Cassandra, it's recommended that you add the appropriate official source for Cassandra. See instructions here:

http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DebianPackaging

For newer versions, you can get the OpenJDK Java implementation. For older versions we used Java8 from Oracle, but this is now out of data and the PPA has been closed.

Note that you do not have to install Java on computers other than the ones where you run Cassandra. None of our code uses Java.

We also are looking at testing with ScyllaDB. That version uses Java for all the communication parts.
