Website Initialization

This is a technical section to document the setting up of a new Cradur web-site.

• If required, set up a subdirectory for main web site (recommended solution).
• Copy 'index.php' and 'admin.php' (and possibly gallery.php) from another Cradur site and modify.
• If using subdirectory set up an index.php file in the root directory (see www.cradur.com/index.php for example)

Configuring the Cradur system

For standalone site - i.e. running as its own host, not as a subsite of an existing host (such as www.cradur.com), then the following steps are necessary to initialize the host:

• Copy the Cradur libraries to a directory named "cradur" immediately below root level.
• Modify the siteConfig.xml file with correct database name, user and password.

Run admin.php and login as __initializor__  (Welsh Wizard and no Welsh Fox)

• Check the configuration parameters (site)
• In the SQL Workbench do "show tables". There should not be any "cradur_" tables.
• Init User Tables.
• Init Page Tables.
• In the SQL Workbench do "show tables". There should now be five "cradur_" tables: log, user, user_access,  page, and page_element.
• Update the configuration parameters paying particular attention to subsystem name (this will be used in all database records).
• Log out.

Assigning a systems administrator

Run admin.php, on the login screen register the user who will act as system administrator.

When this is complete log out.

Run admin.php and login as __initializor__ 

• Assign the above user as system administrator.
• Log out.
