-Friendika Installation
-
-We've tried very hard to ensure that Friendika will run on commodity hosting 
-platforms - such as those used to host Wordpress blogs and Drupal websites. 
-But be aware that Friendika is more than a simple web application. It is a 
-complex communications system which more closely resembles an email server 
-than a web server. For reliability and performance, messages are delivered in
-the background and are queued for later delivery when sites are down. This
-kind of functionality requires a bit more of the host system than the typical
-blog. Not every PHP/MySQL hosting provider will be able to support Friendika. 
-Many will. But please review the requirements and confirm these with your 
-hosting provider prior to installation.
-
-
-1. Requirements
-	- Apache with mod-rewrite enabled and "Options All" so you can use a 
-local .htaccess file
-
-	- PHP > 5.1. The later the better. You'll need 5.3 for encryption of key
-exchange conversations
-encryption support
-		- PHP *command line* access with register_argc_argv set to true in the 
-php.ini file
-		- curl, gd, mysql, and openssl extensions
-		- some form of email server or email gateway such that PHP mail() works
-		- mcrypt (optional; used for end-to-end message encryption)
-
-	- Mysql 5.x
-
-	- ability to schedule jobs with cron (Linux/Mac) or Scheduled Tasks
-(Windows)
-
-	- Installation into a top-level domain or sub-domain (without a 
-directory/path component in the URL) is preferred. Directory paths will
-not be as convenient to use and have not been thoroughly tested.  
-
-	[Dreamhost.com offers all of the necessary hosting features at a 
-reasonable price. If your hosting provider doesn't allow Unix shell access, 
-you might have trouble getting everything to work.] 
-
-2. Unpack the Friendika files into the root of your web server document area.
-
-	- If you copy the directory tree to your webserver, make sure
-	that you also copy .htaccess - as "dot" files are often hidden 
-	and aren't normally copied.
-
-3. Create an empty database and note the access details (hostname, username, 
-password, database name).
-
-4. Visit your website with a web browser and follow the instructions. Please 
-note any error messages and correct these before continuing.
-
-5. *If* the automated installation fails for any reason, check the following:
-
-	- ".htconfig.php" exists 
-		If not, edit htconfig.php and change system settings. Rename 
-to .htconfig.php
-	-  Database is populated.
-		If not, import the contents of "database.sql" with phpmyadmin 
-or mysql command line
-
-6. At this point visit your website again, and register your personal account. 
-Registration errors should all be recoverable automatically. 
-If you get any *critical* failure at this point, it generally indicates the
-database was not installed correctly. You might wish to move/rename 
-.htconfig.php to another name and empty (called 'dropping') the database 
-tables, so that you can start fresh.  
-
-7. Set up a cron job or scheduled task to run the poller once every 5-10 
-minutes to pick up the recent "public" postings of your friends. Example:
-
-	cd /base/directory; /path/to/php include/poller.php
-
-Change "/base/directory", and "/path/to/php" as appropriate for your situation.
-
-If you are using a Linux server, run "crontab -e" and add a line like the 
-one shown, substituting for your unique paths and settings:
-
-*/10 * * * *	cd /home/myname/mywebsite; /usr/bin/php include/poller.php
-
-You can generally find the location of PHP by executing "which php". If you 
-have troubles with this section please contact your hosting provider for 
-assistance. Friendika will not work correctly if you cannot perform this step.
