Ramui webblog installation
Installation of Ramui webblog is pretty simple. You must read this paragraph before you upload this script to your web server.
Read before use:
- Make sure that there is no htaccess file already exists at the folder where you are going to install this script.
- If you have an already established website I strongly recommend installing this script in a backup folder. After successful installation add your already existing web pages to this script database. Then, if satisfied, drag everything from the backup folder to the web root.
- Please note that after installing this script in a folder you can't access any HTML file from that folder and subfolders in it. But file with other extension (e.g. .htm, .php etc.) will work normally.
- It is strongly recommended that keep register_globals = off and
*safe_mode = off in your server's PHP settings. By default PHP keeps these values off. You can edit php.ini file to change these values. If this file is not available for editing then
**add the following two lines at the end of .htaccess file in the webblog folder.
php_flag register_globals off
php_flag safe_mode off
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*In PHP version 6.0 safe_mode parameter has been removed.
**Change of register_globals and safe_mode values may affect the performance of other PHP files (if any) on your web server.
