New Installation:

Basically the Installation of Online-Bookmarks is not a big deal.
There is an install script that guides you through the install steps.
Just make sure you know your servers database credentials.
If you will have troubles anyway, you can look for help in the
forum, if you can't find help there
and you really do not feel like testing around for hours, drop me a message
with the subject "Online-Bookmarks" and I will try to help you.

1. Download:
   First of all, download the latest Version of Online-Bookmarks and unpack the tarball
   in your Webserver's DocumentRoot direcotry.
   
2. Installation:
   Now point your browser to the freshly created directory on your
   webserver. If you did it well, the URL might look like this:
   

   http://www.yourserver.com/online-bookmarks/

   
   If the configuration file "./config/config.php" is missing - and
   it most probably will if you are installing a new version
   - then a page will be shown linking to the install
   script. After answering all the questions in the install script,
   a config section is being displayed. Copy the section and paste it
   to "./config/config.php". The section looks like
   this. After
   creating the config file you must delete the install.php file prior
   visiting Online-Bookmarks, just for security reasons.
   
3. Login:
   Try visiting http://www.yourserver.com/online-bookmarks/
   and login using the user that the install script created for you.
   Its username and password is "admin". The first thing you should
   do is changing the password. Then open the admin script and start
   creating other users. You can find the admin script under the menu
   option "Tools". This admin user and the admin script are available
   from Online-Bookmarks version 0.8.7_beta.
   

1. Backup files:
   I simply rename or move the old installation of Online-Bookmarks so that
   the new version can take place:
   

   # mv /path/to/online-bookmarks \ 
    /path/to/online-bookmarks-backup 
    

   
   
2. Backup the database:
   Then I backup the database content by feeding this command to the MySQL server:
   

   # mysqldump --user=bookmarkmgr \ 
    --password=password_of_bookmarkmgr \ 
    bookmarks \ 
    > /some/path/online-bookmarks-backup.sql 
    

   
   
3. Upgrade:
   Now proceed with the steps from the description above. Don't forget to
   copy the favicons to the new directory:
   

   # cp -a /path/to/online-bookmarks-backup/favicons/* \ 
    /path/to/online-bookmarks/favicons/ 
    

   
   
4. Admin user:
   If you upgraded and using at least version 0.8.7_beta now, the new
   admin script will be available. However, it will only be accessible
   by admin users. Thus you have to define one ore more users as admins
   now. To do so login to your MySQL server and do the following
   change in your database:
   
   

   # mysql -p bookmarks 
    Enter password: 
    ... 
    mysql> UPDATE user SET admin='1' WHERE username='some_user'; 
    

   
   

1. Make sure ImageMagick is installed on your server.
   This is used to convert the favicon to PNG, since some browsers cannot display ICO files.
   
2. Edit the "./config/config.php" file and set the variables $convert and $identify to where
   the "convert" and "identify" executables are on your system. It might be something like "/usr/local/bin/convert"
   or "/usr/bin/convert".
   
3. Make sure that the "./favicons" directory is writable, readable and executable by the user your
   webserver runs as. Just chmod it to 777 and it will be.
