StatusNet is an opensource twitter-like clone. You can install StatusNet on your own server and run your private status server for people in your organization.
Install is pretty straight-forward, so I am not showing here any bit to you.
I am attaching here my nginx configuration file and the relevant option in StatusNet config.php to enable fancy URLs.
server { listen 109.74.198.23:80; server_name bits.scorpionworld.it; access_log /srv/www/bits.scorpionworld.it/logs/access.log; error_log /srv/www/bits.scorpionworld.it/logs/error.log; location ~* (\.jpg|\.png|\.gif|\.jpeg)$ { valid_referers none blocked *.scorpionworld.it; if ($invalid_referer) { return 403; } root /srv/www/bits.scorpionworld.it/public_html; } location / { root /srv/www/bits.scorpionworld.it/public_html; index index.php; if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?p=$1 last; break; } } location ~ \.php$ { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/bits.scorpionworld.it/public_html$fastcgi_script_name; } }
And add to /config.php:
$config['site']['fancy'] = true;
You can reach my test installation here: http://bits.scorpionworld.it/
