This one was pretty straight-forward though I did have to guess at a couple things and the SageTV Wiki was down (thank goodness for Google's caching of web pages!).
1) Grab the zip file from here.
2) Move it into /opt/sagetv/server/
3) Make a back-up copy of /opt/sagetv/server/realm.properties
4) Edit /opt/sagetv/server/webserver/realm.properties and change sage:frey to whatever username:password you expect to use
5) If you're running SageTV, stop it (via "/opt/sagetv/server/stopsage") Step #6 won't "stick" if you don't stop the service.
6) Edit /opt/sagetv/server/Sage.properties and change the line with "load_at_startup_runnable_classes=" so that it looks like:
load_at_startup_runnable_classes=net.sf.sageplugins.webserver.StartServer
7) Start SageTV (via "/opt/sagetv/server/startsage")
8) Wait a minute or so. The file size for /opt/sagetv/server/sagetv_0.txt should change and it should contain an entry about the web server starting. Otherwise, it'll contain information for troubleshooting.
9) If you need to change the port that the web server listens on, stop the service with "/opt/sagetv/server/stopsage". (The service has to be run at last once so that the Sage.properties file can be updated to include the web server settings.) Edit "/opt/sagetv/server/Sage.properites, change the port number in the following line, and restart the service:
nielm/webserver/port=8080
10) Point your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8080/sage/Home (note: case sensitive) You shoud see something like:
I especially like the ability to display the schedule for specific channels (see below). (Hint: Click on "Show Options" at the bottom left of the screen.) You might consider saving the URL as a bookmark if you plan on using the feature often.
Note: I used the following links as aids for the above. There's also other valuable info there, even pointers for customizing the web interface.
