PHP-Nuke: Web Postal System 1.0
===============================


You need a Linux systems with Apache, PHP3 (mod_php3) and MySQL installed
and working. See each manual for details.

If you have installed those packages, just go to "sql" directory. There
are one file called "nuke.sql" where are the tables and the default data.

1) Create a database called, for example, nuke:

    mysqladmin create nuke
    
2) Now fill the databases with the tables in nuke.sql file:

    mysql nuke < nuke.sql
    
3) That's all... now you need to edit the file "config.php3", read the comments
for each option, when finished you are ready to launch your web browser and go
to your homepage, for example:

    http://yourdonaim.com/index.php3
    
To initiate your activities in your site, you need to login as Administrator at:

    http://yourdomain.com/admin.php3
    
at the login prompt write:

AdminID: God
Password: Password

    after that you are the super user in your page. For security reasons please
remember to change "inmediately" the password and the nickname if you want. You
can do that by clicking on the "Edit Admins" option.
    Remember to "Logout" from admin after you use it, from that area you can
delete or add content to your site, never leave your computer without logout from
your admin account. If something bad happens don't come crying to me.

    I recommend you the use of phpMyAdmin. A good administration system for
MySQL databases. To download it just go to http://phpwizard.net/phpMyAdmin

    I also recommend to set a password for your MySQL access. This is because
some data in the nuke database is not encrypted, so for security reasons you
need to set a password, it's a good practice.

    For Banners System, when you setup a new client, you need to assign a new
login/password for him. The login and password is used by the client at the url:

	http://yourdomain.com/banners.php3?op=login
	
    in order to let the	client view and track the banners stats in real time.
    Just give that url to your clients. Take a look yourself before.

    If you want any other included theme to be the default one, just rename
"Default" folder in themes folder to whatever name, and then rename any other
theme folder to "Default". Also you need to add to the new theme the section
in html for the users login. This section is in header.php3 file.

    You're done with PHP-Nuke. Just navigate around, play with it, abuse it and
if you like PHP-Nuke, use it.

    To change your site's logo, go to the themes directory and make a custom
logo for each individual theme. Just navigate around all themes and change
the graphics you want.

    A note for the PHP-Nuke site's administrators: Only admins (authors) can
view the following data in the site:

    - Administration Menu
    - Edit and Delete options for each Article
    - Delete option for each comment
    - IP address of the comment poster
    - Moderation option and button (if set for admin only throught config.php3)
    - more in the future versions...

    I made this software for free, and released it under GPL, so this software
cost you exactly "nothing". All that I ask you is, if you use it think about
leave a link from your home to http://linuxpreview.org saying that you are using
PHP-Nuke. It's all. If you want to make me a donation, please contact me by email
at fburzi@ncc.org.ve  I'll appreciate any money, books or new/used hardware you
can donate me. I promise to improve this software and make more for web production.
