INSTALLATION NOTES ================== To install task freak, it is pretty much dead simple. You can run this under windows or any kind of operating system (including linux, freeBSD, macOS X...) that can run PHP4 with the SQLite extension (PECL) or PHP5 (which has SQLite included). Just follow the steps described below: 1. Install files on your web server ----------------------------------- 1.1 Copy files and uncompress archive First step is to uncompress the archive. Oh no, sorry, first step is to install mySQL and PHP... Right, then, download and copy the archive on your hard drive. THEN, uncompress the archive. Under unix, it goes like this: $ tar xzvf taskfreak.xx.tar.gz /path/to/webroot or, if you got the zip file $ unzip -d /path/to/webroot taskfreak.xx.zip (xx must be replaced by version number) A directory taskfreak will be created containing the files --- From this point, you can try to point your browser to the new folder and see if it works. If it doesn't, then continue with the installation process below --- 1.2. Check file permissions Under windows, don't worry, the system is totally insecure so it will work. Under unix, you might want to run the following commands just to make sure $ chmod 755 /path/to/webroot $ cd /path/to/webroot $ chmod -R 644 taskfreak $ chmod 755 taskfreak taskfreak/classes taskfreak/images Also, for SQLite database to be writable, do the following: $ touch taskfreak/taskfreak.db $ chmod 666 taskfreak/taskfreak.db 2. Create SQLite database ------------------------- Point your web browser to http://localhost/taskfreak/install_sqlite.php If you are under unix and already have created the taskfreak.db file, you might have to force the creation of the database by clicking on the link that says "Click here to reset the database". 3. Configure scripts -------------------- Open the config.php file and change the database settings. (Simply uncomment the SQLite section, and comment the MySQL section) 4. Go, go go! ------------- Launch your internet browser and point it to where you installed taskfreak typically: http://localhost/taskreak/ If it doesn't work, check that the SQLite database has been created. You might also have a look at config.php to check the settings. Good luck.
