Change to the inc directory. Edit the file called config.inc.php to point to the location of your include files. Some people might prefer to install their include files in a directory which is not world viewable. For this, you will need to move everything except config.inc.php into another directory and point config.inc.php to that directory. For most installations, the current location of these file should be fine. Edit globalconfig.inc.php to reflect your system settings. You can choose which programs you would like to have available to your system. For example, if you do not have access to a IMAP server, you can change $installed["email"] = "Y"; to $installed["email"] = "N"; This would make this program unavaiable to all users regardless of their permissions.

If you are using the email system you will need to create a temporary directory where file uploads will be stored. For security reasons, you should chown nobody.nobody and chmod 700 to that directory. Depending on your system configuration. Default installs of Apache normally run as the user nobody. You may need your system administrator to do this for you if you do not have root access.

If you do not have access to root, create this file and run it. If you have access to cron, you may want to setup the files in the cron directory.

stalesessions.pl - There are 2 reasons for this file. Users always forget to logout. This way the session doesn't sit around forever, creating a possible security risk. The email system requires plain text passwords which are stored in the sessions table. This file is not required, you can simply uncomment the lines indicated in session.class in update_dla(). This will require an extra query during every transaction which could cause performance problems. Also, if there are no logins in a few days, they will sit around and wait for someone to login before they are deleted. If you go this route, you will need to edit the number of seconds until they are deleted. It defaults to 2 hours (7200 secs). If you choose to use the cron program, simply edit the settings for your database and uncomment the line for your database type.

stale_uploads.pl - This will delete file attachments for messages that where not completed. If a users browser crashes, internet connection dies, etc, their files will sit there forever unless deleted. You could add a few lines to logout.php that will look in the temp directory for any stale uploads and delete them. But, once again, it becomes a performance issue.

If your config is setup properly you can now login. Point your browser to the installed location and login with the username demo and the password is 1234 At this point it would be a good idea to create a new user and delete the old one.
