Requirements

As always, a web server (any should work) with PHP5 and MySQL installed. I recommend using the latest version of everything.

Oh, and IIS is horrible. Don't try this at home.

Installation

Before you ask "hurrrr wher is z config.php", I would recommend you to take a look at the install.php. It will generate a config.php for you and even does all the SQL stuff (creating tables and so on…). After finished installing, be sure to delete the install.php and edit your login data using the ucp.php. The default user name is "user" and the default password is "password".

Upgrading

Upgrading is easy! In most cases, just running the curent update_jak.php will work.

SSL for the User Control Panel (ucp.php) using Apache's .htaccess

First you need to make a new vhost with ssl. Then do symlinks in to your webserver's ssl directory.

Example:

	# Directory to https
	cd /var/ssl/ask.meikodis.org
	# Symlinks from http to https
	ln -s /var/www/ask.meikodis.org/* .

Then do two .htaccess files. One for http to https.

cat /var/www/ask.meikodis.org/.htaccess

	RewriteEngine On

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ucp.php [NC]
	RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

One for https to http.

cat /var/ssl/ask.meikodis.org/.htaccess

	RewriteEngine On

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index.php [NC]
	RewriteRule .* http://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
