PHProjekt installation read me. ******************* SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ******************* A webserver with a PHP4/5 parser with a connection to a database (mysql/postgres/oracle/informix/mssql/interbase/sqlite/ibm db2). PHProjekt works with all PHP4/5 versions. The imap library/extension of PHP must be installed in order to use the full mail client. A typical environment would be a LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) or WAMP (same except Windows for Linux) system. You can find some urls for installations tutorials in the install_faq.html **** TEST **** If you are not sure whether your system meets the necessary requirements you can a run script with system check: env_test.php located in the root directory of the distribution. ************* INSTALLATION: ************* - Create a new blank database, - unpack the files -be sure to leave the directory structure of the package- in a directory of the webserver (e.g. htdocs/phprojekt) - call setup.php in the browser, this script will guide you through the rest of the installation. - Actions during the setup: and the tables in the database will be created and the file config.inc.php will be written. OR: If you use a mysql RDBM and wish to install the tool by yourself, download the sql dump here: www.phprojekt.com/files/sql_dump.tar.gz, insert the dump into the database and edit the config.inc.php according to your needs. ******************************* UPDATE OR CONFIGURE THE SYSTEM: ******************************* - Unpack the files in the old directory by overwriting the old files and run setup.php - Actions during an update: Some tables will be created or updated and the file config.inc.php rewritten. - For maintainence updates (e.g. 3.2 -> 3.2a, but NOT 3.2 -> 3.3) you don't neeed to call setup.php ******** PROBLEMS ******** In case of problems please read the install_faq.html in the /help directory. For problems not listed there please visit the installation forum on the homepage phprojekt.com, you can search for your topic in more than 40.000 postings or post a question by yourself.
