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';
