9	djmaze	1.1	Base Requirements
10	djmaze	1.1	-----------------
11	djmaze	1.1
12	trevor	1.10	In order to setup CPG Dragonfly CMS, the following prerequisites are necessary:
13	djmaze	1.1
14	trevor	1.7	- a web server (Apache prefered)
15	trevor	1.7	- PHP 4.1 or higher (4.3.x prefered)
16	trevor	1.8	- an SQL server (MySQL 4.x and PostgreSQL 7.3.x or later are supported)
17	djmaze	1.1
18	djmaze	1.6	Setup of these required packages is beyond the scope of this document and if
19	djmaze	1.6	you are unsure you should check with each of the appropriate web sites for
20	djmaze	1.6	further details.
21	djmaze	1.6
22	djmaze	1.1
23	trevor	1.2	Installing the Package
24	trevor	1.2	----------------------
25	djmaze	1.1
26	djmaze	1.6	If you are going to upgrade your website start at step two...
27	djmaze	1.6	If you want to run a CVSWeb read the CVS.txt documentation carefully before you
28	djmaze	1.6	install our CVS bundle onto your website
29	djmaze	1.6
30	trevor	1.10	1) Create a new database, for example, 'dragonfly': mysqladmin create cpgnuke
31	djmaze	1.6	OR add a database through your web control panel.
32	djmaze	1.6
33	djmaze	1.6	2) Edit the file "config.php". Change all the fields until you are happy with
34	djmaze	1.6	the changes and they fit the need of your web site. Give special attention
35	djmaze	1.6	to the database configuration section. When you have finished editing
36	djmaze	1.6	config.php, save it.
37	djmaze	1.1
38	djmaze	1.6	3) Now upload all content from the /html directory to your webspace.
39	djmaze	1.1
40	trevor	1.8	4) CHMOD the following file to 600 (622 if 600 fails):
41	djmaze	1.6	- cpg_error.log
42	trevor	1.2
43	trevor	1.8	5) CHMOD the following directories to 755 (777 if 755 fails):
44	djmaze	1.6	- cache
45	djmaze	1.6	- modules/coppermine/albums
46	djmaze	1.6	- modules/coppermine/albums/userpics
47	djmaze	1.6	- uploads/avatars
48	djmaze	1.6	- uploads/forums
49	djmaze	1.1
50	djmaze	1.6	6) In your web browser go to http://mydomain.tld/install.php
51	djmaze	1.6	The setup will install/update your database.
52	djmaze	1.1
53	djmaze	1.6	After the database is created you will be prompted to insert additional
54	djmaze	1.6	information and, if it's a new install, to create the super user account.
55	djmaze	1.6	Create your super user following the on-screen instructions.
56	djmaze	1.1
57	djmaze	1.6	7) Login following the admin link (http://mydomain.tld/admin.php)
58	djmaze	1.1
59	djmaze	1.6	Now click on "Main Settings" and change whatever you want to fit your site
60	djmaze	1.6	info. All the options you need to change are in the Settings menu.
61	djmaze	1.1
62	djmaze	1.6	8) After installing, delete install.php and the /install directory!
63	djmaze	1.1
64	djmaze	1.1
65	djmaze	1.1	Testing the Installation
66	djmaze	1.1	------------------------
67	djmaze	1.1
68	djmaze	1.1	Go to your homepage, for example:
69	djmaze	1.1
70	trevor	1.8	http://mydomain.tld/index.php
71	djmaze	1.1
72	trevor	1.2	To login as administrator:
73	djmaze	1.1
74	trevor	1.8	http://mydomain.tld/admin.php
75	djmaze	1.1
76	djmaze	1.6	This will give you full administrator privileges to your installation of
77	trevor	1.10	CPG Dragonfly CMS.
78	djmaze	1.1
79	djmaze	1.6	Remember to logout from admin after you use it. From this area you can
80	djmaze	1.6	delete or add content on your site, so never leave your computer without
81	djmaze	1.6	logging out from the admin account.
82	djmaze	1.1
83	djmaze	1.1	We recommend the use of MySQL-Front or phpMyAdmin. Those are good
84	djmaze	1.1	administration systems for MySQL databases.
85	trevor	1.10	www.dragonflycms.com/downloads/mysqlfront25.exe (free version)
86	djmaze	1.1	www.mysqlfront.de (30 days free)
87	djmaze	1.1	www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page
88	djmaze	1.1
89	djmaze	1.1	We also recommend setting a password for your MySQL access. This is
90	djmaze	1.1	important as some data in the nuke database is not encrypted, so for
91	trevor	1.5	security reasons you need to set a password. Not only that, it's a
92	trevor	1.5	good practice!
93	djmaze	1.1

95	djmaze	1.1	Final Notes
96	djmaze	1.1	-----------
97	djmaze	1.1
98	trevor	1.10	That's it! You're done with CPG Dragonfly CMS. Just navigate around, play with it,
99	trevor	1.10	abuse it and if you like CPG Dragonfly CMS, use it. Spend some time getting used to the
100	djmaze	1.6	administration interface.
101	djmaze	1.6
102	djmaze	1.6	To change your site's logo, go to the /themes directory and make a custom
103	djmaze	1.6	logo for each individual theme. Just navigate around all themes and change
104	djmaze	1.6	the graphics you want.
105	djmaze	1.6
106	djmaze	1.6	PS: When you e-mail us asking something, just remember that we receive A LOT
107	djmaze	1.6	of e-mails a day! We don't answer, but for sure we'll read it.
108	trevor	1.10	Your best bet is to visit the forums at www.dragonflycms.com/Forums.html and post
109	djmaze	1.6	your questions there.
