Installation guide
|
|
|
|
The following notes apply to alpha/beta releases. Some manual installation is
|
|
required at this time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Requirements
|
|
- Apache with mod-rewrite enabled and "Options All" so you can use a
|
|
local .htaccess file
|
|
- PHP > 5.1. The later the better. You'll need 5.3 for full openssl
|
|
encryption support
|
|
- PHP *command line* access with register_argc_argv set to true in the
|
|
php.ini file
|
|
- Mysql 5.x
|
|
- cron
|
|
|
|
[Dreamhost.com offers all of the necessary hosting features at a
|
|
reasonable price. If your hosting provider doesn't allow Unix shell access,
|
|
you might have trouble getting everything to work.]
|
|
|
|
2. Edit htconfig.php and change system settings. Rename to .htconfig.php
|
|
|
|
3. Import database.sql into your database with mysql command line or via phpmyadmin
|
|
|
|
4. Import updates.sql (if it exists) to catch any late-breaking devel changes
|
|
|
|
5. Put this directory into the root of your web server document area.
|
|
- To use a subdir of your main site, set the
|
|
config variable $a->path to the relative subdir
|
|
in .htconfig.php - for example to use http://example.com/test -
|
|
set $a->path to 'test'.
|
|
- Everything will work much better if you can dedicate a domain
|
|
or subdomain so that you don't require an extra server path.
|
|
|
|
6. Navigate to your site with a web browser and register an account.
|
|
|
|
7. Set up a cron task to run "php include/poller.php http://my.domain.name" once every 5-10 minutes.
