Installation¶

Requirements¶

• A Webserver. Argentum is known to run on Apache 1 & 2. It should work on lighttpd, ngnix and IIS, but these haven't been tested.
• PHP 5.2.6+ (Untested on php 5.3.x, if you run it on this version, please report that it works or not)
• MySQL 5.0+ Database system

Installation Instructions¶

• Ensure mod_rewite is enabled and working on your website.
• Ensure short tags are enabled on your server
• Upload the files to your web server.
• Make the following files writable by the web server process:
  - application/logs/
  - application/config/argentum.php
  - application/config/database.php
• Browse to your application with your web browser.
• Follow the installation steps as instructed.

Note on installing argentum in a subdirectory¶

If you are installing Argentum in a subdirectory (ie, http://example.com/mysubdir/) you will need to do the following before running the installer:

• change line 2 of ''.htaccess'' file, from: ''RewriteBase /'' to ''RewriteBase /mysubdir/''
• change $config['site_domain'] variable in ''application/config/config.php'' to '/mysubdir'

mod_rewrite¶

Argentum uses mod_rewrite to make your URLs pretty. If you don't have access to or don't want to use mod_rewrite change the following before running the installer:

• change $index_page variable in ''application/config/config.php'' to 'index.php'
