Hello, everyone.
As Manuel mentioned some time ago, I'm from Wikimedia Israel, and we're interested in trying the OpenZIM tools for a static version of the Hebrew Wikipedia we are working on, for inclusion in the Israeli government's One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project.
So far, I've been able to compile and run all the tools, but am having some trouble creating ZIM files: I've dumped a locally-loaded Mediawiki installation to HTML using these instructions http://openzim.org/Wiki2html, but when I try to run the builZimFileFromDirectory.pl script, I get silly postgresql errors about failing to connect using "kiwix" user. I should probably create a user, or a database, or both, but I've never used postgresql (I use mysql), and despite trying some combinations of commands to create a 'kiwix' user, with and without a password, couldn't get the DBI::connect call to succeed. I am sure you are all familiar with postgresql and can give me a quick pointer on how to proceed. I'm using a modern unstable Debian box, with a default packager-supplied installation of postgresql and the related Perl DBD module.
Thanks in advance,
