Server Requirements

Appcaster is built using the Simple PHP Framework and requires PHP 5. It will not work with PHP 4. You'll also need MySQL version 4 or greater.

Installation Instructions

• Download the latest release or check out a copy from SVN.
• Copy the files to your webserver.
• Update the file includes/class.config.php to match your server and database settings. Specifically:
• Add your server's hostname to the $__productionServers array. (Line 5)
• Fill in the $auth_salt variable with a random string of characters. (Line 28)
• Update WEB_ROOT to match where you installed Appcaster on your website. If Appcaster is installed in the top-most directory, use /. If you installed it in /appcaster/ use that instead. (Line 36)
• Fill in your database settings. (Lines 39 - 42)
• Create a new MySQL database and import the file /_masters/appcaster.sql
• Insert a new user into the users table. (Sorry, we don't have a web-based installer yet.) You only need to fill out the username and password columns.
