+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Contax - A simple PHP/MySQL application for contact management. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | REQUIREMENTS: PHP 3.x or 4.x should work fine and any version of MySQL | | Note: All PHP files have a .php extension. Make sure your | | web server processes .php files. | | | | INSTALLATION: These instructions assume you have at least a basic knowledge | | of MySQL and PHP. | | | | 1. Unpack the tarball. Example: tar -zvxf foo.tar.gz | | | | 2. Rename the directory if you choose. | | | | 3. Add the table to your database. The table structure can be found | | in the contax.sql file in the sql/ directory. | | | | 4. Edit the config.inc.php file. It's pretty self-explanitory. | | | | 5. Point your Web browser to the folder where you installed Contax. | | Example: http://www.yoursite.com/contax/ | | | | 6. If all else fails send me an email and | | I'll see what I can do. | | | | IMPORTANT: Make sure only YOU and the user your httpd runs as can read your | | config file. | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- | | Example: | | | | [bash] $ chown yourname.nobody config.inc.php | | [bash] $ chmod 640 config.inc.php | | ----------------------------------------------------- | | | | If you already have a lot of contacts in some other database format you can | | export them as a .csv (comma separated values) and import them into your | | contax table with phpMyAdmin. Don't ask me to help you with this. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
