SPICE Program Applications Files

1. Technology:
The Newswire Web platform is developed using Kohana v3.2 framework and using XAMPP web server to run server script. You can download and install XAMPP Web Server from this address:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/
Notices that I used XAMPP v 1.8.2


2. To test whether Kohana framework supports your system environment or not:
- You have to find a file namely "install_.php" and then rename it to "install.php". then run it i.e http://localhost/newswire
- If All the environment passed then it means that you are ready to go.
Notes: Don't forget to rename file "install.php" back to "install_.php" 

3. Inside application/ folder:
- config/ are stored all the configuration files such as database connection file, email (smtp) and others neccessary configuration files.


4. To host this project in the web hosting:
a) For security reason, the folder application/, modules/ and system/ shall be placed outside folder public_html/ 

b) In application/bootstrap.php
=> Change from
Kohana::init(array(
	'base_url'   => '/newswire',
	'index_file' => FALSE,
	'profile'    => Kohana::$environment !== Kohana::PRODUCTION,
    'caching'    => Kohana::$environment === Kohana::PRODUCTION,
    'errors' => TRUE,
));

to 
Kohana::init(array(
	'base_url'   => '/',
	'index_file' => FALSE,
	'profile'    => Kohana::$environment !== Kohana::PRODUCTION,
    'caching'    => Kohana::$environment === Kohana::PRODUCTION,
    'errors' => TRUE,
));

c) Don't upload newswire/index.php and newswire/.htaccess to server but you have to uploaded index.php and .htaccess files which exist in the public_html folder into web hosting public_html/ folder

5. Newswire web platform needs to generate private key and public key pair which are required by Newswire Android App (https://sourceforge.net/projects/spiceproject/files/Newswire%20App/)
