Tinu Tiny RSS (tt-rss) Reader setup for linux

 Installation:

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client apache2 libapache2-mod-php5

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/tt-rss

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install tt-rss

Configuration:

Step 1 :

Open below file and made some changes

$ sudo nano /etc/default/tt-rss 

# Defaults for Tiny Tiny RSS update daemon init.d script

# Set DISABLED to 1 to prevent the daemon from starting.

DISABLED=0

# Set FORKING to 1 to use the forking daemon (update_daemon2.php) instead of

# the standard one.

FORKING=0

Step 2 :

$ sudo nano /etc/tt-rss/config.php

Find the line define(‘SELF_URL_PATH’, ‘http://yourserver/tt-rss/’); and change to your own 

IP address. If you want to use it locally, then simply replace it with localhost. 

I want to use it remotely, so that I use my server IP address.

[...]

define('SELF_URL_PATH', 'http://192.168.1.201/tt-rss/');

[...]

Step 3 :

Create link if not exists,

$ sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/conf-available/50-tt-rss.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/

Step 4 :

Restart apache2 service:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Step  5 :

Now start the tt-rss service:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/tt-rss start

Now go to your web browser and navigate to http://ip-address/rr-tss or http://localhost/tt-rss. 

You should see the following screen. Enter username as admin and password as password.

If below Error found then,

The error is here : /usr/share/php/php-php-gettext/gettext.inc on line 181 :

This is telling you that you need to set up the type of encoding for it to work. Look in the gettext.inc file

 and you will see something like this :

function _encode($text) {
$target_encoding = _get_encoding();
if (function_exists(“mb_detect_encoding”)) {
$source_encoding = mb_detect_encoding($text);
if ($source_encoding != $target_encoding)
$text = mb_convert_encoding($text, $target_encoding, $source_encoding);
}
return $text;
}

Change $target_encoding to be : $target_encoding = “UTF-8”; and that will fix the problem. 

Or you can choose the character set asides from UTF-8.

username - admin

password - password
