    B2 0.6pre2 on Red Hat 9.0 Shrike – before WordPress

    Before WordPress was released, there was another blogging software that initial versions of WordPress were based on, called B2, that provided you with an ability to self-host your web blog, with just PHP, Apache, and MySQL. This software uses the MySQL database software to manage blog posts, comments, and users, along with other configuration.

    B2 is also known as Cafelog, and early versions hosted just a blog space and a control panel that allowed you to publish blog posts, manage user accounts, and much more. It’s also customizable, which means that you are able to customize how your web blog looks like.

    B2 required a version of MySQL, such as 3.23.54, PHP 4, and Apache Web Server. So, we’ll have to install all of them so that the weblog works. However, since this version of B2 is a pre-release, this means that some things are broken. Installation of the dependencies and the web blog itself requires that you have some system administration skills before being able to proceed.

    You can download this version of B2 from SourceForge, but we don’t recommend installing it to production environments, as it has many security vulnerabilities that weren’t issues at the time of the release. Instead, we recommend installing WordPress 7.0.

    Installing dependencies

    B2 requires a MySQL server already running, alongside the Apache Web Server and PHP 4 packages. So, to install them on Red Hat 9.0 Shrike, you’ll need to navigate to Red Hat Menu > System Settings > Add or Remove Applications.

    Then, go down to Web Server and SQL Database Server, and select them to be installed. Then, open their details, and tick all the checkboxes in the window that opens.

    Afterwards, confirm the changes, and press Update. The below dialog box shows.

    Press Continue, and insert the first Red Hat 9.0 disk. After that, let the installation process continue, inserting disks 2 and 3 in the process.

    Starting MySQL and Apache

    Before continuing, make sure that the Ethernet interface is active. If it’s inactive, try activating it again by opening Red Hat Menu > System Settings > Network, entering your root password you’ve set during the installation.

    If everything is going well, start both the MySQL daemon and the Apache web server with the following commands:

     $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start  $ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start

    Afterwards, the below output should look like this:

    If you are getting an error saying that your user is not in the sudoers file, log in as root with su -, open visudo, uncomment the line that says %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL, save the changes, exit the text editor, and log out and log back in to your desktop.

    Configuring B2

    You’ll have to obtain the IP address of your Red Hat 9.0 machine by running /sbin/ifconfig on your terminal. Then, you’ll have to use SSH to copy the b2-0.6pre2-20020409.tar.gz file to your virtual machine’s home directory from the host.

    After that, make the /var/www/html/b2 directory, copy the archive file to the directory, and extract it.

    Open vim to the b2config.php file as root, which should look like this:

    Afterwards, scroll down to the important variables, such as $siteurl and other variables all the way down to $pathserver. Edit them, considering that:

    • $siteurl is supposed to point to your IP address and b2 directory, such as http://<ip>/b2
    • $blogfilename, $cafelogID, and $use_cafelogping need to be left alone
    • $blogname and $blogdescription can be specified according to your taste
    • $pathserver needs to be the same as $siteurl

    Next, scroll down to the four MySQL variables, where you need to change those variables as the text file tells you. In our example, we’ve changed $dbname, $dbusername, and $dbpassword.

    If you want to be able to use images, edit the two variables, called $fileupload_realpath and $fileupload_url. Make sure that the path exists on your machine, and that the URL is correct.

    After that, save the changes. Scroll back up to the MySQL configuration section, open a new terminal tab, and enter the MySQL shell as root. Afterwards, execute the following SQL queries: (notice that there is no CREATE USER SQL query here)

    • CREATE DATABASE dbname;
    • GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO dbuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'dbpass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
    • FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    This is necessary as the required entities for the blog will be created during the installation. For example, the queries are shown for our installation:

    Installing B2

    Open your web browser to the virtual machine. You should be able to access b2/readme.html under its IP address in your host machine. We did this for more clarity. Please notice that the differentiation of the IP addresses are the result of network instability issues we’re currently experiencing in the virtual machine due to the usage of the wrong network adapter, which we’ll talk about in a later article.

    Now, change the URL to point to b2install.php. The installation should run, creating necessary tables in order for B2 to be usable.

    Signing in

    Go to the login page. Notice that you can’t sign in to the admin account that was created due to broken login code.

    However, the blog site still works.

    In your SSH client logged in to this machine as root, replace the contents of b2login.php with the snippet below. Make sure to save the changes.

     <?php  require('b2config.php');  require_once($abspath.$b2inc.'/b2template.functions.php');  require_once($abspath.$b2inc.'/b2functions.php');   if (!function_exists('add_magic_quotes')) {  function add_magic_quotes($array) {  foreach ($array as $k => $v) {  if (is_array($v)) {  $array[$k] = add_magic_quotes($v);  } else {  $array[$k] = addslashes($v);  }  }  return $array;  }   }   if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {  $HTTP_GET_VARS    = add_magic_quotes($HTTP_GET_VARS);  $HTTP_POST_VARS   = add_magic_quotes($HTTP_POST_VARS);  $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS = add_magic_quotes($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS);  }   $b2varstoreset = array('action','mode','error','text','popupurl','popuptitle');   for ($i = 0; $i < count($b2varstoreset); $i = $i + 1) {  $b2var = $b2varstoreset[$i];  if (!isset($$b2var)) {  if (empty($HTTP_POST_VARS["$b2var"])) {  if (empty($HTTP_GET_VARS["$b2var"])) {  $$b2var = '';  } else {  $$b2var = $HTTP_GET_VARS["$b2var"];  }  } else {  $$b2var = $HTTP_POST_VARS["$b2var"];  }  }  }   /* connecting the db */  $connexion = @mysql_connect($server,$loginsql,$passsql) or die("Can't connect to the database<br>".mysql_error());  mysql_select_db("$base");   switch($action) {   case "logout":   setcookie("cafeloguser");  setcookie("cafelogpass");  header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");  header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") .
