webbox installation under debian-wheezy

[Michael Rauch]

hello webbox-devs

i installed webbox/securestorage under debian-wheezy (amd64) by
following the instructions under [1]. i got it running but had to
perform some additional steps to get there.

1: https://github.com/danielsmith-eu/webbox/wiki/Installing-WebBox-under-Ubuntu-Linux

setup_env.sh failed at first attempt, because my system didn't have
swig installed.

for new_4store_kb.sh to succeed, i had to chown /var/lib/4store, not
just /var/lib/4store/securestore.

the logs directory had to be created by hand to get the logfiles.

i got an error from M2Crypto (see details further down). i found an
explanation [2] and workaround [3] and ended up doing the following:

mira@mercury:~/webbox2/danielsmith-eu-webbox-3531ab0/env/local/lib/
python2.7/site-packages$ rm -rf M2Crypto
mira@mercury:~/webbox2/danielsmith-eu-webbox-3531ab0/env/local/lib/
python2.7/site-packages$ cp -R /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
M2Crypto .
