 -*- kwotes install instructions -*-
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Thanks for trying kwotes.  Please forgive how slim this
 | 
			
		||||
INSTALL file is... at least there is one :)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
WHAT YOU NEED:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
	CGI/Perl enabled web server
 | 
			
		||||
	Mysql
 | 
			
		||||
	DBI
 | 
			
		||||
	DBD::Mysql
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
INSTALLING DBI and DBD:Mysql:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
	At a console:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	perl -MCPAN -eshell
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	In the CPAN console:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	install Bundle::DBI
 | 
			
		||||
	install DBD::mysql
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
EXTRACTING THE TARBALL:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
	tar -zxvf kwotes.tar.gz
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
SETTING UP THE DATABASE:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
	Add the required kwotes tables to the database (in the directory where you
 | 
			
		||||
	extracted kwotes):
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	mysql -u database_user -D database_name -h database_host_name -p < kwotes.sql
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIGURING KWOTES:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
	Open kwotes.conf.pl in your favorite text editor and modify as needed.  The 
 | 
			
		||||
	only values that you MUST change are in the database section. They are:
 | 
			
		||||
		
 | 
			
		||||
		$DB_TYPE - the database type (Must be mysql for now)
 | 
			
		||||
		$DB_NAME - the name of the database on the database server
 | 
			
		||||
		$DB_HOST - the hostname or ip address of the database server
 | 
			
		||||
		$DB_USER - the username for connecting to the database
 | 
			
		||||
		$DB_PASS - the password for connecting to the database
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	Other options that are cool for tweaking the functionality of kwotes can be
 | 
			
		||||
	found in the "GENERAL STUFF" section of the configuration file.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
SETTING PERMISSIONS:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
	Setting everything to 755 (rwxr-xr-x) doesn't hurt:
 | 
			
		||||
	
 | 
			
		||||
	cd kwotes-directory;
 | 
			
		||||
	chmod -R 755 *
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	You can come up with something more restrictive if you like.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
CUSTOMIZING:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
	Kwotes can be easily customized by editing the files in the "html" directory
 | 
			
		||||
	directly beneeth the kwotes directory.  You can change the "site name" and
 | 
			
		||||
	tagline (text that apears at the top of every page) by editing kwotes.conf.pl
 |
