After downloading the source code, you will need to do some initial configuration.

Configure Apache

Configure apache to serve files from the "www" folder in the project. This is usually accomplished with a VirtualHost definition like the following.

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName test.ctepathways.org
	
	DocumentRoot /web/test.ctepathways.org/www
	<Directory /web/test.ctepathways.org/www>
                Options +FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                allow from all
	</Directory>
</Virtualhost>

If you have the SetEnv module installed, add this line inside the Directory block:

		SetEnv CONFIG_FILE my.settings.php

Change the filename to whatever you want, and copy www/include/default.settings.php to the filename you set here.

Filesystem

If it doesn't already exist, create a cache folder next to the www and scripts folders, and make it writable by apache.

drwxr-xr-x  3 apache   apache    4096 2011-03-24 14:35 cache
drwxr-xr-x  7 pathways pathways  4096 2011-03-24 14:15 common
drwxr-xr-x  2 pathways pathways  4096 2011-03-24 14:15 examples
drwxr-xr-x  3 pathways pathways  4096 2011-03-24 14:15 scripts
drwxr-xr-x 12 pathways pathways  4096 2011-03-24 14:29 www

Database

Configure the database username and password in your *.settings.php file. If you can't create your own file, you will have to edit the default.settings.php file directly, just make sure not to commit that file back to the repository.

Install the database tables from the scripts/sql/schema.sql file provided. After the tables are created, run the scripts/sql/initdata.sql file to insert some default data.

.htaccess file

Copy the www/htaccess file to www/.htaccess and modify it to point to your www/include and common folders.

Try it out

Visit your install in the browser, and you should be presented with a login prompt. The default user account is admin@example.com and a password of 1234.
