Installation Instructions
|
|
|
|
NOTE: these instructions are specific to operating with MySQL.
|
|
If you're going to use a different database, substitute your database
|
|
server's setup procedure where necessary.
|
|
|
|
1. Unpack phpgiftreg website
|
|
2. Create MySQL database
|
|
3. Create MySQL tables
|
|
4. Create MySQL user (optional)
|
|
5. Configure db.php
|
|
6. Configure config.php (optional)
|
|
7. Create Apache alias
|
|
8. Set up the initial family and user using setup.php
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. Unpack phpgiftreg website
|
|
|
|
Change to the directory where you're going to run the website from and
|
|
extract the pages. The tarball contains the phpgiftreg/ directory itself.
|
|
|
|
user@host $ https://git.obscuritus.ca:3000/silverwizard/phpgiftreg.git
|
|
<output>
|
|
|
|
Then give everything the proper permissions (thanks to Paul Hubbard for
|
|
pointing this out). An example would be owner-writable, world-readable:
|
|
|
|
user@host $ cd phpgiftreg
|
|
user@host $ chmod 644 *.php *.css images/*
|
|
|
|
As of 1.6.0, there is a subdirectory called item_images/ that must be
|
|
writeable by the webserver. The phpgiftreg scripts will be writing files
|
|
to this directory. Don't worry, the setup.php script described below
|
|
will test if you got this right.
|
|
|
|
As of 2.0.0, there are subdirectories called cache/ and templates_c/
|
|
that must also be writeable by the webserver. setup.php will also test
|
|
if those have the correct permissions.
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
2. Create MySQL database
|
|
|
|
Login to the MySQL server with a user capable of creating databases. If
|
|
you're running a trusted system, simply executing `mysql' should be adequate.
|
|
Otherwise, do something like this:
|
|
|
|
user@host $ mysql -u username -h host -p
|
|
Enter password: <enter password here>
|
|
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
|
|
Your MySQL connection id is 626 to server version: 3.23.58-log
|
|
|
|
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
|
|
|
|
mysql>
|
|
|
|
Once inside, create the phpgiftreg database:
|
|
|
|
mysql> create database wishlist;
|
|
Database wishlist created.
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
3. Create MySQL tables
|
|
|
|
You can examine the area where the `ranks' table is populated and
|
|
modify that. There's a column for the rank's description and how it
|
|
should look when rendered in HTML. By default, it shows between 1 and 5
|
|
stars, which should be suitable for most installations.
|
|
|
|
Change to the phpgiftreg database like this:
|
|
|
|
mysql> use phpgiftreg;
|
|
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
|
|
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
|
|
|
|
Database changed
|
|
|
|
Run the create-phpgiftregdb.sql script like this:
|
|
|
|
mysql> source /path/to/create-phpgiftregdb.sql
|
|
<lots of activity>
|
|
|
|
mysql>
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
4. Create MySQL user optional
|
|
|
|
You should have a separate user for the database. If you choose to, create
|
|
the new user like so:
|
|
|
|
mysql> GRANT ALL ON wishlist.* TO username@host IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
|
|
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
|
|
|
This creates a user called `username' that can connect from `host'.
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
5. Configure includes/config.php
|
|
|
|
Copy the includes/config-sample.php to includes/config.php.
|
|
|
|
You MUST edit includes/config.php to define your database connection.
|
|
It is required to set the `pdo_connection_string', `pdo_username'
|
|
and `pdo_password' settings. See
|
|
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.construct.php for more information,
|
|
especially if you are going to use a database other than MySQL.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: phpgiftreg is only tested on MySQL, though other databases should
|
|
(in theory) work with little modification.
|
|
|
|
There are some options to change in config.php if you wish. Their functions
|
|
are described in that file.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: older versions of phpgiftreg defined database parameters in a
|
|
file called db.php. That file is no longer used, and connection information
|
|
belongs in includes/config.php.
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
6. Create Apache alias
|
|
|
|
Edit your httpd.conf and add an Alias like so:
|
|
|
|
Alias /phpgiftreg/ "/path/to/phpgiftreg/"
|
|
|
|
The trailing slashes are important. Restart the web server and you should
|
|
be good to go.
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
7. Set up the initial family and user using setup.php
|
|
|
|
Point your browser to http://yourserver/phpgiftreg/setup.php or wherever you
|
|
installed it. It will check your confirmation, and then you'll be prompted
|
|
to enter some details for an initial administrator user and the default
|
|
family. If everything goes well, you'll be ready to begin!
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================

|
