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. + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/README.txt b/README.txt index e69de29bb..4402cdaea 100644 --- a/README.txt +++ b/README.txt @@ -0,0 +1,37 @@ +Elgg version 1.0 +Copyright (c) 2008 Curverider Ltd + +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. + +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
