GeN3 Installation Guide

What you need installed on you're server:
- You will need PHP 5.2+
GeN3 is always going to support the latest versions of PHP, so
you should (if you haven't already) begin to upgrade to the latest
PHP version as soon as it's released.
- CURL. There's no version series for the "CURL" add-on, but
CURL is mainly designed for bots. If you expect your PayPal
AutoPay script to work CURL is required. AlertPay uses a slightly
different method due to the heavy security but works perfectly.
- MySQL please consider using the 5.x MySQL versions (not
persistent please). Our script uses the least amount of resources
and MySQL queried resources for best performance. Though this
can affect sitewide changes, it can also support a great load of
server bills too. Reduced costs is what people want, So we took
your ideas and integrated it into the script.
If you have all of them installed you won't have a problem at all.
-SourceGuardian, you can set this up in the directions below.


Directions:
1) Upload the contents of the 'Upload' directory to your root directory. MAKE SURE TO UPLOAD ALL FILES IN BINARY MODE OR IT WILL NOT WORK!
3) Give the files 'lib/lib_database.php' and 'lib/lib.php' and 'configuration.php' 777 rights. This can be done by using set permissions.

7) Make sure your SourceGuardian is installed correctly.Simply upload the 'howto-install.php' file to your root directory, run it in your browser, and 
follow the directions. You can find it in your 'Install/SourceGuardian' directory.
