+Elgg 1.0 installation

+

+This is a placeholder file, and will be rewritten before the official

+launch. However, here are some basic instructions.  Commercial

+support is available for Elgg; email info@elgg.com for more details.

+

+

+CORE REQUIREMENTS

+

+    * Apache web server with the following modules:

+          o mod_rewrite

+          o PHP (see below) 

+    * MySQL 5+

+    * PHP 5.2+ as an Apache mod (not in CGI mode or safe mode) 

+      with the following libraries:

+          o GD

+          o JSON 

+

+It is recommended that you increase the memory available to PHP

+threads beyond the standard 8 or 12M, and increase the maximum

+uploaded filesize (which defaults to 2M). In both cases, this 

+can be found in your php.ini. 

+

+INSTRUCTIONS

+

+1.  Upload Elgg

+

+Upload Elgg to your site's document root. Create a folder for 

+Elgg to store files, preferably underneath the document root. 

+Make sure that the folder has the proper permissions, for example:

+

+chmod 777 /home/mysite/data

+Create a database

+

+Create a database for Elgg to store its data. Because of Elgg's 

+ability to host multiple sites you will only have to do this once.

+

+2.  Setup

+

+Once you've completed the previous step, point your browser to your 

+site. You'll be greeted by the Elgg installer. Once it's set up a

+few essential files, the installer will ask for the database details

+(database username, password, database name and table prefix) if not

+already set up in the previous step, and some basic details for 

+setting up your first (primary) Elgg site, where Elgg will already

+have guessed some initial values:

+

+    * The name of your site

+    * The site URL

+    * The full path to your site root on your disk

+    * The full path to the directory where uploaded files will be stored (the data folder you created earlier)

+    * The default language code for your site

+    * The type of default view (for example mobile, iphone or default) 

+

+After this step you will be prompted to create an initial user. This

+user will be the first system administrator. This is the last step, 

+and you'll be ready to start working with your new Elgg site.
