In this example I assume that oauth-php lives in /home/john/src/oauth-php 1) Create a virtual host and set the DB_DSN VARIABLE to the DSN of your (mysql) database. Example ServerAdmin admin@localhost ServerName hello.local DocumentRoot /home/john/src/oauth-php/example/server/www UseCanonicalName Off ServerSignature On SetEnv DB_DSN mysql://foo:bar@localhost/oauth_example_server_db Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 php_value register_globals 0 php_value session.auto_start 0 2) Create the database structure for the server: # mysql -u foo -p bar -h localhost < /home/john/src/oauth-php/library/store/mysql/mysql.sql 3) Download and install smarty into the smarty/core/smarty directory: # cd /home/john/src/oauth-php/example/server/core # wget 'http://www.smarty.net/do_download.php?download_file=Smarty-2.6.19.tar.gz' # tar zxf Smarty-2.6.19.tar.gz # mv Smarty-2.6.19 smarty 4) That's it!
