phpGuestbook - Installation
Installation procedure:
[1] Untar the distribution (be sure to untar the subdirectories)
tar -xzvf phpGuestbook_x.x.x.tar.gz
[2] Create the required tables within your web-site database
as provided in phpGuestbook.sql. You can use the mysql-client
for this: mysql < phpGuestbook.sql
[3] Open the file config.php3 in your favourite editor and change
the values for path, host, user and password to fit your environment.
[4] It is strongly recommended that you protect the directory in which
you installed phpGuestbook-admin, for example with HTTP-AUTH
(in a .htaccess-file).
[5] Open the file//index.php
in your browser. phpGuestbook should now display a welcome screen.
[6] If desired, move the directories require and include out of the web
server root. This will prevent someone from gaining direct access
to them via the web server and gives somewhat greater security.
