GenieGate, Version 1.1.0 (PHP 5) manual

Chapter 3. Installation

Abstract

Version 1.1.0 simplifies this process by eliminating the library path settings. Hopefully it will be much easier to install. Under normal circumstances, an installation will take about 5 to 10 minutes.

Really quick overview.

This section is for people in a hurry. If you've installed PHP scripts in the past, this section is for you. The main difference between GenieGate and other packages is the use of a home directory. This is the area most people have difficulties with. Please consult the section called “Directory Structure” for details about the directory structure. Aside from this, it installs more or less as any PHP script would.

  • Upload the files from geniegate/ to your HOME directory, you should have a ~/geniegate directory on your FTP server after this step.

  • Edit ~/geniegate/conf/geniegate.ini Pay particular attention to the database settings.

  • Upload the web/ files to web server space. (These should be web accessible)

  • Run web/admin/setup.php in a browser to setup the tables.

Hopefully, that was all there is to it. The next sections provide more detail.
