-phpWebSite is installed.
-
-Installation Instructions
-=========================
-
-You will need to create a database for phpWebSite
-on your own before starting setup.
-
-Then change permissions for set with this script:
-
-cd ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/setup
-./secure_phpws.sh setup
-
-Once you have a database ready proceed to
-http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR} to continue installation.
-
-Once you are done with installation you need to run:
-
-cd ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/setup
-./secure_phpws.sh run apache users
-
-Upgrade Instructions
-====================
-
-Preparing to Upgrade
---------------------
- - Dump/backup your hub and branch databases.
- - Backup your hub and branch directories/files.
- - Create an index.php file that warns users of the upgrade.
-
-<?php
-echo "<div align=\"center\"><h1>Please be patient while we upgrade the site.</h1>
-We'll be back in a jiffy!</div>";
-?>
-
- - Close and restart your browser. If you have a session live while updating
- your site, it MIGHT interfere with the upgrade process. If you are using
- Boost to upgrade, you can skip this step.
-
-If you are upgrading to 0.9.3 or greater, you should make the images/
-directory and subdirectories writable by the web server.
-
-Prepare your branches if you are running any off of your hub site. Depending
-on the owner of these directories will affect the commands to run. The base
-directory of each branch will need to be writable.
-
-If the owner is the webserver and you have root access:
-chmod o+rwx branch1/
-chmod o+rwx branch2/
-etc...
-
-otherwise:
-chmod 0777 branch1/
-chmod 0777 branch2/
-etc...
-
-The images and themes directories will also need to be writable for the
-upgrade:
-
-chmod -R o+rwx branch1/{images,themes}
-chmod -R o+rwx branch2/{images,themes}
-
--or-
-
-chmod -R 0777 branch1/{images,themes}
-chmod -R 0777 branch2/{images,themes}
-
-If the webserver is not given the proper permissions then the branch upgrade
-will not be successfull.
-
-
-Once you have you have finished these steps (and ONLY after) should you
-continue.
-
-Running the Upgrade
---------------------------------------
-Now you can untar the new files into your installation. If you go to
-your site's index.php file, you will see a few error messages. The
-aforementioned index.php prevents most people from seeing these messages.
-Point your browser to 'http://www.myWebSitesName.com/setup/' where
-'www.myWebSitesName.com' is the address for your web site.
-
-The first thing the upgrader will do is upgrade your core modules. It
-will also check to see if you are running any branch sites and automatically
-upgrade them as well.
-
-You should receive a 'Core Updated!' message. Underneath these messages
-will be a list of modules that appear to need upgrading as well. Click
-the checkboxes of the modules you want updated (or click the 'Check All' button
-to check all of them) and click the 'Update Modules' button. Your site and
-all your branch sites should now be updated.
-
-If you made a warning index.php file, dump it and put the real file back.
-You should now be able to use your site as normal.
-
-Should something go wrong
---------------------------------------
-If you go to your site and receive errors the FIRST thing you should try
-is closing your browser, reopening it, and trying to use your site again.
-Sometimes old sessions will conflict with the upgraded information.
-
-If you get an error message or your sites still don't function, restore your
-backed up databases and files and try again. If it STILL doesn't work, contact
-us via Sourceforge, we want to know what went wrong.
-
-Please include your OS, web server, PHP, and phpWebSite version information.
-Also include any error messages that were displayed. The more data you supply
-us, the better chance you will receive help.
-
-You may also try using the repair.php file. It contains answers to a few
-commonly experienced problems.
-
-Returning to update.php
----------------------------------------
-Most of the time, Boost will handle your upgrade needs. However, should
-an upgraded module cause problems before you can get to the Boost module,
-you can always return to update.php to upgrade the offending module.
-
-Securing your Site
----------------------------------------
-Although setup.php, update.php, and repair.php require passwords to enter,
-you may want to prevent malicious users (read: jerks) from even accessing
-these files. One way would be to limit read access on that directory after
-you are finished using it. Another measure would be to alter your
-allow_setup.php file. Open this file in an editor and change the 'TRUE'
-to 'FALSE' like so:
-
-$_SESSION['allow_setup'] = FALSE;
-
-Change this back to TRUE when you need to update again.
