CPG-Nuke: Advanced Content Management System
--------------------------------------------

Please use our new HTML documentation, found in the /documentation
folder within this directory



Base Requirements
-----------------

In order to install CPG-Nuke, you'll need the following:

    * A web server (Apache prefered)
    * PHP 4 or higher (4.3.x prefered)
    * MySQL 4.0 or higher

This doesn't mean that CPG-Nuke won't work with other configurations,
operating systems, sql servers, etc, but we only provide install
instructions for the above configuration. In fact, CPG-Nuke works under
Windows (all), FreeBSD, OS/2, MacOS, etc


Installing the Package
----------------------

-> If you are going to upgrade your website start at step two...

-> If you want to run a CVS website please read CVS.txt before you
   install our CVS bundle onto your website

1) Using your MySQL database administration tool (ie: phpMyAdmin),
   create a new database. Name it anything you want, for example,
   'cpgnuke'

2) Edit the config.php file found in the /html folder. Change all of
   the fields until you are happy with them and the changes fit the need
   of your site. Pay close attention to the database configuration
   section, using the information provided by your host

3) Save your changes to config.php and then upload all files from the
   /html folder to your webspace

4) CHMOD the following file to 622:

     * cpg_error.log

5) CHMOD the following folders to 777:

     * /cache
     * /modules/coppermine/albums
     * /modules/coppermine/albums/userpics
     * /uploads/avatars
     * /uploads/forums

6) Head to http://www.mydomain.tld/install.php, where you will be
   presented with our magical auto-installer, which will guide you
   through the installation process. Using the installer, you will
   install the necessary database, configure basic settings for your
   site and create your first administrator/user account

7) Once you have finished the installation process, login to your
   administration menu, through http://www.mydomain.tld/admin.php.
   From here, you will be able to configure the remaining settings for
   your site, and administer your new CPG-Nuke powered website

8) It is important that you remove install.php and the /install folder
   after you have successfully installed your site


Testing the Installation
------------------------

Go to your homepage, for example:

    http://mydomain.tld/ndex.php

To login as administrator:

    http://mydomain.tld/admin.php

    This will give you full administrator privileges to your
    installation of CPG-Nuke

    Remember to logout from admin after you use it. From this area you
    can delete or add content on your site, so never leave your computer
    without logging out from the admin account

    We recommend the use of MySQL-Front or phpMyAdmin. Those are good
    administration systems for MySQL databases.
    www.cpgnuke.com/downloads/mysqlfront25.exe (free version)
    www.mysqlfront.de (30 days free)
    www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page

    We also recommend setting a password for your MySQL access. This is
    important as some data in the nuke database is not encrypted, so for
    security reasons you need to set a password. Not only that, it's a
    good practice!


Final Notes
-----------

 That's it! Just navigate around, play with it, abuse it and if you like
CPG-Nuke, use it. Spend some time getting used to the administration
interface

 To change your site's logo, go to the /themes folder and make a custom
logo for each individual theme. Just navigate around all themes and
change the graphics you want

 We removed quite a few modules from the CPG-Nuke package and put them
in a directory called add-ons. You'll find the Journal, Web Links,
Downloads and a few others in there. It's very easy to install them.
Just copy the contents of whatever module you want to install to your
root directory. For example, to install the Downloads add-on, copy the
contents of the /add-ons/Downloads directory /admin, /blocks, /images,
/modules) to your root directory. Log in as admin, then activate the
module. That's all there is to it! Your module is now ready to use. Any
blocks that come with the add-on are also now ready for use. Add them
the same way you'd add any other block


PS: When you e-mail us asking something, just remember that we receive
    A LOT of e-mails a day! We don't answer, but for sure we'll read it.
    Your best bet is to visit the forums at www.cpgnuke.com/Forums.html
    and post your questions there
