How to install Appcaster on your web server.
Featured, Phase-Deploy
Updated Jun 2, 2008 by tylerh...@gmail.com

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.

That’s not exactly true...you need to make sure that the user level is 'admin' or you will get an endless redirect problem. At least that is what I found when I just installed it...it took me about 20 minutes to figure out the problem.
