Translators wanted
Translation support will be available on next phpipam release, code is being redone and final checks ongoing. I have decided to go with gettext, it seems to be the most suitable for phpipam.
Translating is straight-forward, by providing translations for strings, for example:
#: functions/functions-mail.php:176
msgid “your domain username”
msgstr “translated text”
There are many tools available to help with translation, like poedit and others.
If anyone is interested in providing translation, please contact me on email. I have already received some requests in the past, I will try to dig up old emails…

phpIPAM installation on debian 6.0.6
I have received a request for help on manual installation of phpIPAM on debian linux, so I decided to write a small how-to if anyone else has problems or is not so familiar with linux distributions and environment. I have used fresh default debian 6.0 as distribution because it is widely used, I believe on ubuntu linux procedure should be very similar, except maybe for locations of some config files.
I have used the following settings for installation:
- Fresh debian installation
- MySQL server not yet installed and no root pass configured
- Apache not installed and configured
- phpipam will be installed in default directory (no vhosts) under /phpipam/ folder
If you already have MySQL/apache set you can skip point 3.
Installation procedure:
1.) Preparing environment and installing required apps
Update your sources (apt-get update) and install Apache, php and mysql server:
apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-gmp php-pear php5-mysql php5-ldap
After all is installed and the apache server is running, you need to decide weather you will be running it under vhost or in subdirectory or root directory. For this guide I will have it in subdirectory http://server/phpipam/, so do the following:
cd /var/www/
wget http://freefr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/phpipam/phpipam-1. Continue reading
