The zip file contains 4 folders :
/licence provide the licence informations
/sql provide the SQL scripts for creating or updating database
/libraries provide libraries for KAdos
/kados contains the php scripts of the application itself
To install Kados, you must have :
- a web server with a PHP engine (PHP 5.3 at least) (Kados is tested on Apache, Zend, but can easily work on others web servers, since no server specific function is used)
- a MySQL database version 5 at least
And that's all (folks). This platform is easy to find on the web (check that the hosting provide PHP 5.3, it's common but not that common)
The the install steps are :
1. deploy the /kados folder ont your web server, either at root or in the /kados folder
2. deploy the /libraries folder one level up from the kados scripts (I know it's a constraint, but it will be more subtle in the near future)
THEN
3. execute the SQL script create_database_v1.3.sql on the MySQL database (through a MySQL client or PHPmyAdmin) if it's the first install
OR
3. execute the SQL script update_database_fromv1.2_tov1.3.sql on the MySQL database (through a MySQL client or PHPmyAdmin) if you upgrade from v1.2.0
edit the connect.conf file and set parameters for your database between double-quote ""
$PARAM_host=""; // host of your database
$PARAM_db=""; // name of the database
$PARAM_user=""; // login of the database
$PARAM_password=""; // password of the database
with your favorite browser (Firefox is best), go to your site, and login with user/pass : admin/admin
Have a lot of fun !
