+ in .htconfig.php - for example to use http://example.com/test -
+ use
+ $a->path = 'test';
+
+ NOTE: This has NOT been fully tested!
+ In this case, you cannot use the web installer.
+ Skip step 3 and proceed to step 4 - especially steps 4a and 4b.
+
+ - Everything will work much better if you can dedicate a domain
+ or subdomain so that you don't require an extra server path.
+
+3. Visit your website with a web browser and follow the instructions.
+
+4. *If* the automated installation fails for any reason, check the following:
+
+ 4a. ".htconfig.php" exists
+ If not, edit htconfig.php and change system settings. Rename
+to .htconfig.php
+ 4b. Database is populated.
+ If not, import the contents of "database.sql" with phpmyadmin
+or mysql command line
+
+5. At this point visit your website again, and register your personal account.
+Registration errors should all be recoverable automatically.
+If you get any *critical* failure at this point, it generally indicates the
+database was not installed correctly. You might wish to move/rename
+.htconfig.php to another name and empty (called 'dropping') the database
+tables, so that you can start fresh.
+
+6. Set up a cron job or scheduled task to run the poller once every 5-10
+minutes to pick up the recent "public" postings of your friends. Example:
+
+ cd /base/directory; /path/to/php include/poller.php
+
+Change "/base/directory", and "/path/to/php" as appropriate for your situation.
