#112 in non-setup state, Rilke should give more friendly errormsg

[Jayesh Sheth]

When Rilke CMS is not setup and you browse to the root
directory (instead of the setup directory) first, it
gives a very unfriendly error message (directly from PHP).

It might look a bit like this:

Warning: main(prefs.php) [function.main]: failed to
create stream: No such file or directory in
apache\htdocs\moztips_095_local\index.php on line 2

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening
required 'prefs.php'
(include_path='.;php\includes;php\pear') in
apache\htdocs\moztips_095_local\index.php on line 2

There should be a small snippet of code that checks for
[rootdir]/prefs.php and [rootdir]/setup/setup.php and
if one or both are missing, direct the user to perform
the appropriate setup actions.

Here is the code snippet that could be put at the top of the
[rootdir]/index.php file:
-------------------------------------------------------------
if (!(file_exists('prefs.php')))
{
echo "<h2>Error:</h2> <p><strong>Your preferences file
(prefs.php) for Rilke CMS has not been created
yet.</strong></p> Please create this file, otherwise you
will not be able to set up Rilke CMS successfully. Please
use the file setup/makeprefs.html to generate your
preferences file (prefs.php), and then upload it to your
webhost via FTP.";
exit();
}

else if (!(file_exists('setup/setup.php')))
{
echo "<h2>Error:</h2> <p><strong>Your setup file for Rilke
CMS (setup/setup.php) has not been created yet.</strong></p>
<p>Please create this file, otherwise you will not be able
to set up Rilke CMS successfully. Please use the file
setup/makesetup.html to generate your setup file (setup.php)
, and then upload it to your webhost via FTP.</p>";
exit();
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe in the future it could use the localized /
internationalized string system ...
