Installation Instructions

1. Download the code and place it on the server
   • Use svn with this repository: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/ptsignup/svn
     • svn checkout --username=yourusername svn+ssh://pbowers@svn.code.sf.net/p/ptsignup/svn ptsignup-svn
   • Place the files downloaded in a directory called ptsignup on your server (in your htdocs or www directory, presumably)
2. Set up your database
   • Execute the commands within ptsignup.sql (in the root of those files). This can be done by copy/paste into the SQL window in phpMyAdmin or by running the script directly.
3. Modify configuration files
   • app/Config/ptsignup.php
     • client_id and client_secret are according to the Sycamore app
       • you must create your own at https://app.sycamoreeducation.com/developer/applications.php?task=applications
     • url and path should match your server and location where ptsignup is installed (from step #1 above)
     • cookie_key should be a long, random password
     • other elements may be modified if needed but should not normally require change
   • app/Config/database.php - change host, login, password, database, etc. as appropriate for your database
     • prefix is not yet implemented

Proceed to Initial Setup instructions in [Administrator Instructions].

Troubleshooting:

1. If you get "Internal Errors" go into app/Config/core.php and set debug from 0 to 2. You'll probably need to log in again, but then you should get a much more helpful error message.

2. If you get errors regarding timezone, go into app/Config/core.php and uncomment the line containing the date_default_timezone_set() call and change it from 'UTC' to the appropriate value for your locale.

3. If you have difficulty with 404 (page not found) errors you may need to include a RewriteBase of your sub-directory ("RewriteBase /ptsignup", for example) in the .htaccess files in ptsignup and ptsignup/app and ptsignup/app/webroot.
