II. Gesbit requisites
I. Install Gesbit
This is a pre alpha release of Gesbit. Not only contain errors (know or
unknown), also not is a release that you can use in your website, because
many many changes is prepared, and we not guaranteed back compatibility.
This version of Gesbit cannot have a installer program. In fact is possible
to never have a install program, but, the installation is quite simple, if
the requisites (you see bellow) are available.
To install Gesbit you need create a new database on your MySQL server to be
used in Gesbit. Gesbit distribution include the file:
/source/sql/gb-install-[language_code].sql
You can use this file to with a program like PhpMyAdmin, for example, to
create the needed Gesbit tables and fill some default registers.
Please, fell free to modify the data base name and the tables prefix on
the mentioned file. By default, the database name is "gesbit", and the
tables prefix is "gb_", but you can change this if you want.
After you create the appropiate database and tables, you can use the file:
/source/www/gb-conf-sample.php
And fill it the needed Gesbit configuration constants. Don't worry, we said
about the database name, user name, password, etc. This file explain all
the needed configuration constants.
After you fill the correct data of this file, please, rename the file to:
/source/www/gb-conf.php
That is, quite the "-sample" part of the file.
*************
The default (intall) user in Gesbit is: "administrator". You need this
"administrator" login and password to enter on the Gesbit administration
dashboard.
When you login into the Gesbit administration, you can change your password,
more plus, we recommended that you change this password to another.
*************
If you not have experience of configuring Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc., maybe
you can use (to test Gesbit, and ever you want) a little project that can
download from my website:
http://dec.clubdelphi.com/
Just looking for "localhost" project. After "install" this on your system,
you have all the requisites for Gesbit. We test Gesbit with this "localhost".
Hovewer, the "localhost" project is only for Windows OS. If you use Linux,
MacOS, and of course Windows, you can use the great XAMPP project
(
http://www.apachefriends.org/).
II. Gesbit requisites
Gesbit only as been probed on a system with this installed software:
* PHP 5.2.4, PHP 5.2.5
* MySQL 5.0
* Apache 2.2.4 (with rewrite module available)
Maybe can run Gesbit with MySQL 4, but, the situation is similar that OS,
today is probed only with the mentioned version, MySQL 5.
Gesbit cannot run with PHP 4. Maybe with PHP 5.x, but, uses PHP syntax
that presumes PHP 5 or later, but only as probed in the indicated version.
Apache is needed. We unknown if Gesbit can run in another web server, maybe
the principal issue is that Gesbit use the rewrite module of Apache.
