INSTALL

Assuming your PHP environment is compatible (PHP 5 or later, mysqli
extension available), this program can be installed as follows:

1. Either create the database for this program (the default database
   name is 'minimalweblog'), or define the MINIMALWEBLOG_DB constant in
   config.inc.php to hold the name of the database you want to use;
2. Create the necessary tables in the chosen database by running the
   SQL statements in the minimalweblog.sql file;
3. Create a database user with the minimum access rights needed to
   use this database;
4. Edit the MINIMALWEBLOG_TIMEZONE, MINIMALWEBLOG_HOST, MINIMALWEBLOG_USER and
   MINIMALWEBLOG_PASS constants in the config.inc.php file as needed;
5. Open the example.php file in your web browser to check that everything works;
6. Change the default password for editing the weblog to something
   else, either by using the 'edit setup' link which appears after
   logging in, or by directly entering the MD5 hash of the password you
   want in the database.
7. By default, editing the weblog is only allowed from localhost.This
   should be changed if the MinimalWeblog software is installed on a remote
   server, which is likely to be the case. Edit (recommended) or comment
   out (if necessary) the MINIMALWEBLOG_HOSTS_EDITING_ALLOWED constant
   definition in config.inc.php.
8. Recommended: move everything except files that will be requested
   directly by a web browser outside the web server's document root. Edit
   require() commands and/or your include_path as needed.
