When installing KnowledgeTree, it is important to ensure that you have read the INSTALL.txt file in the install distributions /docs directory. The latest version of this document may be found below.

To ensure that Full-Text indexing of your KnowledgeTree documents works correctly, please install the KnowledgeTree FileIndexer application available here.

KnowledgeTree Installation Notes

--------------------------------

* KnowledgeTree requires the following software to run:

 - Apache 1.3 or above

 - MySQL 4.0 or above with INNODB support

 - PHP 4.3.0 or above, but not yet PHP 5.0

* Move the knowledgeTree folder to the directory it is going to be served from:

 $ mv knowledgeTree /path/to/your/html/directory/

* Check the pre-installation checkup:

 If your knowledgeTree installation is at http://localhost/, go to:

 http://localhost/setup/

* Set up the database

 - Create a database:

 $ mysqladmin -p create dms

 - Create and populate the tables:

 $ mysql -p dms < sql/mysql/install/structure.sql

 $ mysql -p dms < sql/mysql/install/data.sql

 - Create the database perfor

 $ mysql -p dms < sql/mysql/install/user.sql

* Configure your installation in config/environment.php:

 - The default configuration will determine many settings on your

 installation automatically, and this is the preferred method of

 running KnowledgeTree. Please do not manually set these settings

 unless you know what you are doing.

 - The default configuration uses the database username and password

 in the user.sql file mentioned above, use the local host for the

 database, and use the database named 'dms'. If you follow the

 examples above in setting up the database, this means KnowledgeTree

 should be fully configured to start working.

 - However, you should change this once you've performed your initial

 evalution of KnowledgeTree for the security of your documents.

 - The following settings in config/environment.php control the

 database connectivity, and can be set as shown:

 $default->dbUser = "myuser";

 $default->dbPass = "mypassword";

 $default->dbHost = "localhost";

 $default->dbName = "release206";

* Check permissions on the folders

 - The "Documents" folder in the root of the KnowledgeTree

 installation MUST be able to be written to by your web server.

 - The "log" folder in the root of the KnowledgeTree installation MUST

 be able to be written to by your web server.

 - The pre-configuration checkup will display the user which must be

 able to write to these folders.

 - The remaining folders should preferably not be able to be written

 to by your web server.

 - eg.

 If your web server is running as user "nobody" and group "nogroup"

 then cd to the files directory and type:

 *nix: 'chown -R nobody.nogroup Documents log'

 Windows: Check the permissions and security tabs

* Check the post-installation checklist:

 If your knowledgeTree installation is at http://localhost/, go to:

 http://localhost/setup/

 And click on "Post-installation checkup".

* Login:

 - in a web browser go to your KnowledgeTree installation via the web

 - default user is "admin" with password "admin"
