RPM Installation Instructions

After installing your RPM, you must perform the following steps to complete installation:

1. log in as root and type ‘create_instance –db_password XXXX’, where XXXX is your MySQL root password

2. Copy the file /etc/campsite/campsite/campsite-vhost.conf to /etc/httpd/conf.d/campsite.conf

3. Edit the new file, substituting $SERVER_ADDRESS and $SERVER_NAME with the values you wish to use.

4. Add the the line "php_admin_value include_patch .:/usr/share/pear" to point to where you have PEAR installed

5. Restart your webserver, /sbin/service httpd restart

6. You may need to run some additional ‘pear’ commands: "pear install File_Find", etc.

7. Nothing will work until you have some templates. You can log into you new campsite and create some, or you can unpack the demo templates from www.campware.org

8. You will also need to define article types etc in campsite admin.

These instructions apply to Fedora Core 3, and probably other Fedora and Red Hat systems, but they will be a bit wrong on systems like SuSE etc.
