| Set up your own UnderTheGrid website! |

So, you wanna run an event guide. Well, today is your lucky day. The UnderTheGrid system is free and open source, and lets you set up a customized event guide that can be linked with any other event guide on the UnderTheGrid Network. You will probably need your own server to use our system, since some of our requirements are a bit "non-standard" and aren't likely to be found on any sane system admin's machine.
The four main components you will need are:
1. AOLServer (Preferably 3.5.2 - UtG hasn't been tested with any of the 4.x versions.)
You will also need the Postgresql module for AOLserver
2. PostgreSQL (Newer versions are preferred.)
3. Sendmail (You could probably use another mail server, but Sendmail is what has been tested.)
4. The UnderTheGrid system - UnderTheGrid Source Code
Once you have AOLserver, PostgreSQL, and Sendmail installed, simply unzip the UnderTheGrid system into the folder where you want it to reside, and follow the directions in INSTALL.txt. In brief, you will just need to move a few files around, paste the database parameters to Postgres, set a couple of variables in nsd-UtG.tcl, and then customize your layout in macros.tcl.
When we set up our demo site at http://www.dansflicks.com, the whole process took about 45 minutes (and that included the full 3 minutes we spent making that beautiful logo!).
If anyone has any trouble getting the UtG system install, you can post your questions and frustrations to this forum, or you can email us directly at support@UnderTheGrid.com.
Good luck!
