SITELLITE INSTALLATION NOTES Please read all of this document so that you are comfortably familiar with the installation process. This document is also available online at http://www.sitellite.org/ Requirements ------------ Please refer to the file REQUIREMENTS for a complete and current list. ------------ Installation (Note: Upgrading information is below this section) 1. Extract the Sitellite tarball in the base directory of your web site. On Unix, execute the following command on the shell: tar -zxvf sitellite-4.2.0-stable.tar.gz This should create a directory called sitellite-4.2.0-stable. You will have to copy all of the files and folders in this directory into the base directory of your web site. If you have a pre-existing site there already, which we recommend against installing on top of, please be careful you aren't overwriting anything you need. To copy these files over from the command line, do the following from in the same directory you just extracted the Sitellite tarball in: cp sitellite-4.2.0-stable/.htaccess . cp -R sitellite-4.2.0-stable/* . 2. Before you can run the web-based installer, you will need to set the Unix file permissions of Sitellite. To do this, enter the following commands: chmod -R 777 cache chmod -R 777 inc/app/cms/conf/services chmod -R 777 inc/app/cms/data chmod -R 777 inc/conf chmod -R 777 inc/data chmod -R 777 inc/html chmod -R 777 install chmod -R 777 pix chmod -R 777 inc/app/*/conf chmod -R 777 inc/app/*/data chmod -R 777 inc/app/*/lang chmod 777 inc/app/* 3. Launch the web-based installer by going to the following web site URL: http://www.yourWebSite.com/install Follow the instructions of the installer, and it will guide you through the remainder of the installation process. 4. In order for certain functions in Sitellite to behave correctly, Sitellite's task scheduler needs to be run at certain intervals. Full details for the scheduler can be found in Sitellite's bulit-in help documents, which you should be able to access once you've completed step 3. 5. If you want to install any additional apps (see inc/app), please refer to their install instructions. --------- Upgrading If you are upgrading a site, check in the 'upgrade' directory for the necessary files and information. --------------- Troubleshooting For troubleshooting information, please refer to http://www.sitellite.org/ ------------ Known Issues Please see the file KNOWN ISSUES for a complete and current list.
