------------------------------------------------------------------------- myPHP Guestbook 2.0.1 Copyright (C) 2003 - 2006 Claudio Pose myPHP Guestbook is a open source project of Networkarea.ch ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction 2. Installation 3. Update 4. Bugs 5. Version History 6. License 7. Support 8. Copyright 9. Credits 1. Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guestbook support is available at: www.networkarea.ch/forum/ Before using the guestbook, you should read license.txt. If you have any problems with our guestbook, we suggest you to read through the documentation that is part of the service packet. Those you choose Please recommend this open source guestbook to other users, because itīs free. 2. Installation ------------------------------------------------------------------------- First adjust config.inc.php, then load all files onto the server. Open the file install.php in the browser and follow the instructions. After creating the charts successfully, delete the file install.php from server. Then it is important that the index image/smilies and backup get the CHMOD rights 777 (calibrate in FTP client), otherwise smiley / backup creation doesnīt work. IMPORTANT: *************************************** * The index images/smilies and backup * * has to get the CHMOD rights 777 * * (can be set up in the FTP client) * *************************************** If installation fails, itīs advisable to control config.inc.php once again. If you are not able to find any errors, you can contact us. In single cases it can occur that the login into admin-panel fails after Installation is completed. In this case you will get the following error message: Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/www/web1/temp) in Unknown on line 0 To recover this error you can either give the index "tmp" in the root index the CHMOD rights 777 or, if the index doesnīt exist yet, create it and then allocate the CHMOD rights 777 to it. Here we talked about the index "tmp", of course it can have another name. Another frequent name is "sessions" or "temp". To reduce the risk of bugs and more security, the webserver should have the following configuration: + Apache + MySQL 4.x/5.x + PHP 4.x/5.x - register_globals = Off - safe_mode = On - allow_url_fopen = Off - file_uploads = On + GD Library 2 + FreeType Library 3. Update ------------------------------------------------------------------------- An update form myPHP Guestbook 1.x to 2.0.x only functions with help of a converter Which you can download on www.networkarea.ch Please install the converter like it is described in the tutorial, then open the converter in your Browser Window. Now you can make a backup of the guestbook entries which is compatible with the version 2.0.x. As soon as you have saved the backup on your computer you can delete the old version of myPHP Guestbook. Now you can upload and install the new version of myPHP Guestbook (see 2. installation). When you have done these steps, you can log into the admin panel And restore the backup which you have created with the converter. Now the old guestbook entries are in the guestbook again. Important: *********************************************************************** * Always follow the installation instructions for the converter * * which is delivered with the converter. * *********************************************************************** 4.
