Where can I fiind some guides regarding Statusnet and proper setup?
Wanted to build a social community and after testing Elgg(kinda clumsy), Vanilla(buggy at that time), Livestreet CMS(no admin tools and everithing in russian almost killed me as I dont speak it) plus Oxwall(actual solution), I found Statusnet. After everyone else i think, and badly too because it looks so appealing and clean.
Installed a demo site and since I'm not a developer I have some concerns about proper setting it up and my knowledges:
- This could work on shared hosting(as I intend an upgrade to VPS later )?
- Tried to enable fancy URLs and all site got broken(minus the front page)
- Can't upload attachaments to statuses( Got: "Can't find file command "/usr/bin/file"" is not a supported file type on this server.)
- What "Do not share my location" pushpin button do as I'm clicking It and nothing happens.
- Can I have with this twitter-like "follow-me on ..." and "share to..." buttons for users?
Is there a place to find a less hairy documentation for Statusnet or someone from the community could give me atlast and advice about those? Everithing is appreciated. :)

2. Make sure you've got your .htaccess file configured, then add this to your config.php:
#fancy URL's are critical to getting the rest of the service to work well
$config['site']['fancy'] = true;
You can see this snippet in the example config.php file here: http://encyclomundi.org/wiki/Parlementum_Server_Statusnet
3. I can't help you there. Your host may have removed certain utilities for security purposes. If you have ssh access, you can try 'which file' to see whether 'file' is in your $PATH.
4. Do not share my location prevents new notices from attaching information obtained from your browser about where you were at the time you posted. If you're in the US, many of your notices may say you're in Lebanon, Kansas, because that's the US centerpoint. If you're in California, they may show you in the mountain foothills east of Bakersfield. The point is, it makes it a little harder for someone to show up on your doorstep.
