## Installation
2011-01-02 07:06:54 -05:00
1. Tinyboard requires an SQL database and a user to work. Create one.

2. Import 'install.sql' into the database. There are several ways to do this.
- using phpMyAdmin
- `mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE < install.sql`

3. Edit 'instance-config.php' to suit your installation. You should copy some values from '[inc/config.php][c]' to redefine them in the instance-config.

4. Make sure that the Tinyboard directory is writable. Depending on your setup, you may need to `chmod` "." to 777, with `chmod 777 .`
2010-11-04 09:56:21 -04:00
5. Ensure everything is okay by running [test.php][t] in a browser. The script will try and help you correct your errors.
6. Run the [post.php][p] script. It should create an index.html and redirect you to it if everything is okay.
7. Optional (highly recommended): Either delete or chmod as unreadable the following files: [test.php][t], [install.sql][i], and this [README][r].
