INTRODUCTION

GeoStoryteller is an educational tool that allows you to create stories about physical places. Users can take a walking tour and engage with the GeoStories you have created using their mobile phone.

Users can explore the GeoStories you have created using their mobile phone, either through GeoStoryteller's mobile web interface, or through Layar, the augmented reality web browser (http://www.layar.com). Please note that to use Layar, if you have to register with them via their developer website.

INSTALLATION

GeoStoryteller should work with a LAMP setup (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

1. Unzip the files to a web-accessible directory
2. Setup the MySQL database
3. Create a database (e.g., geostorydb) with a user who has access to it
4. Add the default tables by running all the SQL queries in geostorydb.sql
5. Update db.php to include the correct MySQL host, username, password, and database name
6. That should do it. You can login to create GeoStories with the default username "admin" and password "password".
