added info about configuring PHP with gettext support
[squirrelmail.git] / INSTALL
1 Sorry for the incomplete documentation at this time. Here is a quick
2 overview of how to install SquirrelMail.
3
4 1. Configure PHP4 --with-gettext for internationalization.
5
6 2. Make Apache (or whatever web server) happy with PHP4.
7
8 3. Unarchive SquirrelMail in a subdirectory that is accessable by the
9 web server. EX: /home/httpd/html/squirrelmail-0.1
10
11 4. Edit the config file, config/config.php
12
13 5. Change the permissons for the "data/" directory so it's writable to
14 the web server. Under Red Hat Linux 6.0, this is done by:
15
16 chown -R nobody data
17 chgrp -R nobody data
18
19 "nobody" is the user and group for the apache server for this
20 example.
21
22 6. Point your browser to the location you specified in step 2.
23 In this example, it's: http://YOURHOST/squirrelmail-0.1/index.html
