CVS of the project files can be viewed from here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/b-net This application is released under the GPL license. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt Requirements: --------------- * PHP > version 4.3 * MySQL Database > version 3.2 * Web Server (e.g. Apache, IIS) How To Install: ---------------- Extract all files from the archive while maintaining the directory structure. Upload to your host by ftp. Make sure you set the permissions of the following to globally writable (So that they can be writable by the webserver application): * File /include/config.php * Folder /install * Folder /templates * Folder /img/upload * Folder /img/smilies For Windows Systems this is not an issue, for Unix type of systems, you need to chmod the Folder or File to 777. Observe that images should be uploaded in binary mode while text and .php files should be uploaded in ascii mode. Most ftp clients are clever enough to handle this. Then you can run the Installer If you uploaded the files to http://yoursite.com/ then run http://yoursite.com/install This will ask you for your database details which you need to know, it will then create the required tables and create the file config.php. If you cannot run the installer, you will need to edit the file config.php then you need to dump the file /install/create.sql into your MySQL database.
