+ <h1>introduction to site-C-ing</h1>
+ <p>
+ This is a sample site, which is supposed to demonstrate <em>site-C-ing</em>
+ features. Since the <em>site-C-ing</em> is still at the early stages of
+ development or rather proof of concept, this site is also far from being
+ complete. I am planning to add more pages as the time permits, though.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Once you download and install <a
+ href="http://kin.klever.net/sitecing/">site-C-ing</a> you may wish to try
+ this sample site for yourself. The source is available from <a
+ href="http://kin.klever.net/sitecing/sources">the site-C-ing download
+ page</a>. After you download the source code, you should configure it using
+ the ever so popular <code>configure</code> script. It is likely that you will
+ want to pass the <code>--with-vhostname</code> option to configure to name
+ the apache virtual host.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The configure script will generate the apache vhost configuration for you,
+ which you can <code>Include</code> in the main apache configuration file.
+ </p>
+ <p class="note">
+ Note, that the configuration is tailored for apache 2.x. It is no problem to
+ get it working with apache 1.3.x, although I haven't tried and so I am not
+ sure if it will run out of the box (your patches are <a
+ href="mailto:sitecing-patches@klever.net">welcome</a>). Also note that you
+ will need <a href="http://fastcgi.com/">mod_fastcgi</a> apache module, which
+ is the only CGI-interface supported by the <em>site-C-ing</em> engine at the
+ moment.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Once you get it all done you will want to restart your apache and start the
+ <em>site-C-ing</em> fastcgi server by issuing the <code>make restart</code>
+ command.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Before you download it, you may wish to <a href="/sources" title="source
+ browser">examine the sources</a> to learn more about how it is done.
+ </p>
