Installation

Server Requirements

This is the baseline requirement to run Scooch on your servers.

  • PHP v4.3x or above support. The latest version is 5.1.2 so your host should support Scooch with ease. Available from http://www.php.net/downloads.
  • PHP GD graphics libraries. Since PHP 4.3 there is a bundled version of the GD libraries so your web host should have them installed.

All good web hosting services include good PHP support by default but if in doubt please contact your hosts and ask them. Alternatively we can supply hosting if you require it. See http://gr0w.com/hosting/.

Installation Instructions

Scooch comes in a ready to install download. You only need to insert your URI before uploading to your server. Please retain a backup copy prior to taking these steps. For download contents see the .Zip archive reference.

  1. Extract the contents of the downloaded .zip file to your local machine.
  2. Open scooch/inc/user_settings.php in a text editor and go to line 21 where you will see: $home="http://mysite.com/scooch/"; - Change the path (URI within the inverted commas) to point to the location in your site where the scooch directory will be after upload. You must end the URI with a forward slash! After you've done so, save the file.
  3. Upload the entire scooch directory to the location you have specified. You can of course rename the scooch directory prior to upload but make sure the URI in step two reflects that.
  4. Chmod (where appropriate, i.e. Linux/Unix servers) the permissions of the main scooch directory to 707.
  5. Chmod (where appropriate, i.e. Linux/Unix servers) the permissions of the scooch/inc/user_settings.php file to 707.

Scooch is now ready to use! Next: Configure the user settings.
