::MeltingIce File System v1.0::

REQUIREMENTS:
-UNIX based Apache server (if you aren't sure, chances are the script will work) due to .htaccess security settings.
	-If using Apache on a Windows server: moving and renaming files will not work due to the way Windows handles directory paths
-MySQL Database

::Installation/Upgrade Instructions::
(Make sure to follow the correct directions.  As MFS has progressed, the MySQL database configuration has changed slightly.)

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION: To install meltingice file system on your server, upload all files included in this archive (including the docs folder) and load install.php in your browser, then follow the instructions.

UPGRADE (if you have meltingice file system prior to the implementation of the admin panel):
-Delete all files and folders EXCEPT FOR config.php and the "users" folder in the base directory.  Upload everything in the .zip file to the folder excluding the "users" folder.
-If you already have a database installed, load the upgrade.php file in your web browser.  Make sure you put in your existing database name.  Enter a username and password you want to use for the admin panel, and the initial space quota for users (in MB).
-(Optional) Log into your admin panel (http://yourdomain.com/mfs-directory/admin) and customize your settings

UPGRADE (if you have meltingice file system with the admin panel before version 0.9):
-Delete all files and folders EXCEPT FOR config.php and the "users" folder in the base directory.  Upload everything in the .zip file to the folder excluding the "users" folder.
-Load upgrade2.php, enter your MySQL information and the initial quota for newly registered users.
-(Optional) Log into your admin panel (http://yourdomain.com/mfs-directory/admin) and customize your settings

UPGRADE (if you have meltingice file system v0.9):
-Delete all files and folders EXCEPT FOR config.php and the "users" folder in the base directory.  Upload everything in the .zip file to the folder excluding the "users" folder.
-Load upgrade3.php and enter your MySQL information.
-(Optional) Log into your admin panel (http://yourdomain.com/mfs-directory/admin) and customize your settings

If the installation/upgrade is successful, then everything is set!

IMPORTANT: Although a user cannot upload PHP files, you should CHMOD the users directory and everything in it to 744 for maximum security.  If you don't do this, people will be able to execute files in that directory greatly compromising your server's security.
