######################################### # # # Siteman Personal Website CMS - Readme # # # ######################################### Congratulations with your choice of Content Management System (CMS)! You have chosen the easiest to use CMS on the market, but that doesn't mean it lacks cool functions! Installation ############ 1.) Download the latest version (since you are reading this, you have probably done so already) 2.) Unzip the files to a directory on your machine 3.) Upload all the files and folders to the root directory of your website (ie. the directory on the server where your website is), maintaining the directory structure 4.) You shall now have the following files in the root directory: admin.php articles.php downloads.php forum.php guestbook.php index.php news.php search.php stats.php users.php And the following files in the "articles" subfolder: cats.txt And the following files in the "data" subfolder: artdets.php blocked.txt class.php config.php count.txt dldets.php downloads.txt forumdets.php guestbook.txt guestdets.php latest.txt members.txt menu.txt news.txt newsdets.php online.txt page_footer.php page_header.php polls.txt stat.gif stats.txt style.css userdets.php version.txt And the following files in the "forum" subfolder: cats.txt The "images" subfolder should contain 23 .gif images and the file "codes.txt" You should have the following files in the "language" subfolder: forum.txt polls.txt search.txt universal.txt users.txt The subfolders "files" and "txt" shall contain a file called "index.htm". This file may be deleted after you are done uploading. The following file shall be in the "pages" subfolder: index.php 5.) Chmod the all subfolders and the files within them to 777 (not the files in the root folder). (Chmod usually only has effects on UNIX servers. Open admin.php as mentioned below to show which system you're on. Chmod has to do with permissions, and if the values confuses you, just make sure that all the mentioned files are both readable, writable and executable.) 6.) Open admin.php in your browser, login with username 'siteman' and password 'siteman', and click on 'Change details' to change the username and password into whatever you want. Reset ##### If you do something wrong, so that Siteman stops working, you can reset it by uploading all the files in the "data" subfolder and the "language" subfolder. Upgrade ####### When you upgrade from an older version, in most cases, you won't need to upload the page_header.php, page_footer.php and style.css. This gives you the advantage that you won't need to create your page layout from scratch again. Credits ####### Siteman is written by Helge Langen, Norway. This version is released on the 2. June 2005 The official Siteman Webpage - http://sitem.sourceforge.net
