From Noha's classsifieds install guide.
Prerequisites:
In order to run Noah's Classifieds on your computer, you will need the following software components on your unit:
- MySql database server
- Php4 script module
- mysql server may be downloaded from http://www.mysql.com/
- php4 script module may be downloaded from zend.com.
- We do not provide additional support for the installation of the above components. These web sites contain sufficient information for you to accomplish the task.
Quick installation
- Unpack the distribution under your webroot directory;
- Locate install.php in your browser;
- Follow the instructions.
- Unpack the distribution and copy the files under a directory where the web server may accesses them.?
(Unpack: tar xvzfp classifieds_<versionnumber>.tgz) I can't unpack it. just doesn't work! - The Noah's Classifieds installation will need a web interface. Start your browser and open install.php (of course, not as a file but through the apache web server, e.g. http://your.server.com/classifieds_1_2/install.php) ?????
- Follow the instructions in your browser.
- During the installation, a mysql database will be created among the database tables and the necessary data will be written into the tables. The program will attempt to write the Noah's Classifieds configuration file (config.php). If the given server configuration doesn't allow this (the apache web server doesn't have write permission in the classifieds directory), you have to write the config data yourself in config.php. Of course, the browser displays all the information you need to do this.
- If the root permission needs a password, an input form will appear. Type the user name and password there (this user name is not necessarily the root, but it must till have written permission to an existing database, or permission to create a database if it doesn't yet exist).
- The install program now displays the parameters it needs to continue the process of creating the database and the new tables. If you accept these settings, click "Ok". If you want to change the settings, click "Edit parameters". One reason to change these may be, if you don't want the install program to create a new database called "Classifieds", but you have your own existing db and want to put the Classifieds tables in it. In this case, you can specify the name of your db under "Edit parameters".
