SemanticScuttle installation
============================


Prerequisites
-------------
To run SemanticScuttle, you need:
- PHP5 with filter functions enabled
- A web server, for example Apache


Installation instructions
-------------------------
1. Create a new MySQL database
2. Import tables.sql into that database, i.e.
   run
   > mysql -umyusername semanticscuttle < data/tables.sql
   on the shell ("semanticscuttle" being the database name)
3. Copy data/config.php.dist to data/config.php and modify it as
   necessary.
4. Make the cache directory writable by your web server.
   For example, run
   > chmod 0777 cache
   on the shell.
5. Set the www/ directory as document root in your web server,
   restart the web server.


Ugly www directory in URLs
--------------------------
In case point 5 of the installation instructions cannot be put into
practice by you because you are not able to change the web server
configuration, you are not lost! There is a way to get rid of
www/ in your URL!

Imagine following directory layout:
 /home/customer123/
   www/
     subdomain1/
     subdomain2/
     subdomain3/

Create a SemanticScuttle directory somewhere outside www if possible
and put all directories except www/ in there. Move all files and
directories from www/ into your subdomain directory. Then modify
subdomain/www-header.php to include the correct file path.

The new directory layout should look that way:
 /home/customer123/
   semanticscuttle/
     doc/
     data/
     src/
   www/
     subdomain1/
     subdomain2/ (this is the semanticscuttle subdomain)
       about.php
       admin.php
       ..
       www-header.php
     subdomain3/

Now open www-header.php and replace
  require_once '../src/SemanticScuttle/header.php';
with
  require_once '../../semanticscuttle/src/SemanticScuttle/header.php';
