-Installation guide
-The following notes apply to alpha/beta releases. Some manual installation is
-required at this time.
+Mistpark Installation
+This is an early release. Some manual installation is required at this time.
1. Requirements
- Apache with mod-rewrite enabled and "Options All" so you can use a
local .htaccess file
+
- PHP > 5.1. The later the better. You'll need 5.3 for full openssl
encryption support
+
- PHP *command line* access with register_argc_argv set to true in the
php.ini file
+
- Mysql 5.x
- - cron
+
+ - ability to schedule jobs with cron (Linux/Mac) or Scheduled Tasks
+(Windows)
[Dreamhost.com offers all of the necessary hosting features at a
reasonable price. If your hosting provider doesn't allow Unix shell access,
you might have trouble getting everything to work.]
-2. Edit htconfig.php and change system settings. Rename to .htconfig.php
+2. Put this directory into the root of your web server document area.
-3. Import database.sql into your database with mysql command line or via phpmyadmin
+ - If you copy the directory tree to your webserver, make sure
+ that you also copy .htaccess - as "dot" files are often hidden
+ and aren't normally copied.
-4. Import updates.sql (if it exists) to catch any late-breaking devel changes
-
-5. Put this directory into the root of your web server document area.
- - To use a subdir of your main site, set the
+ - To use a subdirectory of your main domain, set the
config variable $a->path to the relative subdir
in .htconfig.php - for example to use http://example.com/test -
- set $a->path to 'test'.
+ use
+ $a->path = 'test';
+
+ 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.
-6. Navigate to your site with a web browser and register an account.
+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.
+
+If you are using a Linux server, run "crontab -e" and add a line like the
+one shown, substituting for your unique paths and settings:
-7. Set up a cron task to run "php include/poller.php http://my.domain.name" once every 5-10 minutes.
+*/5 * * * * cd /home/myname/mywebsite; /usr/bin/php include/poller.php
+You can generally find the location of PHP by executing "which php". If you
+have troubles with this section please contact your hosting provider for
+assistance. Mistpark will not work correctly if you cannot perform this step.

+Mistpark Server
+Version 2.0 alpha
+
+IMPORTANT: Please see the file INSTALL for system requirements.
+
+Mistpark introduces a new generation of social networks. Mistpark Server
+allows you to interact with other members of the Mistpark community using
+the DFRN (Distributed Friends and Relations Network) protocol. Other networks
+(such as Diaspora, OneSocialWeb, status.net, etc.) will be supported in the
+future as their products mature and protocol and privacy/rights issues are
+resolved between these networks.
+
+It's your network now. If social networking isn't what you thought it would
+be, help us to make it better.
+
+A single instance of Mistpark Server supports up to several hundred people
+using commodity hosting hardware. Also available from Mistpark Labs is
+Mistpark Personal Edition, which supports a single user.
+
+Please see http://dfrn.org for more information on the mistpark/DFRN project.
+
+We will be providing a support site specifically for mistpark at
+http://mistpark.com at a future (unspecified) date. We are still
+evaluating wiki, forum, and bug-tracking software for use on the project.
+At the present time, you may contact the author and raise issues via
+the source code repository on github.
+
+Please support mistpark with a donation.
