Here's an easy-to-do install from the readme
| Quote: | 1. Unzip the package in an empty directory.
2. Open b2config.php in a text editor, and modify the variables as explained in the comments. Comments are lines that start with # or /* or //
3. Upload everything. This release is designed to sit in your root folder, IE the folder where your b2-powered page will reside.
4. a. This isn't necessary but ensures your security: With your FTP program, do a CHMOD 644 on the file b2config.php, so no-one can overwrite it except you. If your server is on Windows NT, then set the file on "read-only" mode.
b. if you want to use the spellchecker, do a CHMOD 755 on sproxy.pl
5. Launch b2install.php in your browser. This should setup the MySQL database for your blog. If there is an error, double check your b2config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the support forums there: http://tidakada.com/board, and make a post with all the information about the failure (error messages, etc), and your setup (the PHP and MySQL versions on your server, and the browser you were using).
6. Delete b2install.php - this is not necessary since v0.5, because there's no "drop table" instructions in the install script anymore, but it's better to delete it anyway (or rename it to a random name in case you need it again in the future).
7. Go to b2login.php and log in with the login "admin" and the pass "admin". Then click on the menu 'My Profile', and change the password. Note: you need javascript enabled to launch the profile popup window.
8. Do this if you don't want to blog as "admin": log out, create an user account on b2register.php, then re-log in as "admin", and update the level of the new user to 5 or more, so that you have all the admin rights. Logout, then log in as the new user.
Whenever you want to post something, just open a browser and go to b2login.php to log in and post.
You can also use a bookmarklet and/or a sidebar (IE5+/NS6+) to post.
You can also post through the Blogger API, click here for more info.
Your site's blog is on b2.php (simple template) and index.php (CSS template), you can rename this file to index.php or any other name you fancy (provided it bears the php extension or is interpreted as a php file by your server).
You can also copy b2.php into a new file and modify that new file, it will work too |
It's easy!!
