8 You'll need a PHP4-capable web server and a modicum of patience.
9 The quickest way to get going looks like this:
11 - procure a web-accessible directory, which we'll call DIR.
13 - make a subdirectory DIR/nitlog.
15 - if you want, put an index.html in DIR that redirects to DIR/nitlog.
17 - copy index.php, defs.inc.php, parser.inc.php, and optionally rss.php
18 and img.php, to DIR/nitlog.
20 - copy (cp -a) the contents of 'example' to DIR/nitlog.
22 - make appropriate changes to DIR/nitlog/config.inc.php.
24 You should now be able to point your browser at
25 http://www.domain.com/~username/nitlog/ and see the included sample entry.
32 I like having multiple areas of my site handled by NITLog in different
33 subdirectories, sharing various facets of their configuration. For
34 example, in addition to the 'nitlog' directory, I have a 'home' directory,
35 a directory for various thumbnail picture galleries, etc, each of which has
36 NITLog installed in them. You can move any common files, such as your
37 layout.inc.html file, up a level (to DIR) and change the appropriate
38 setting in config.inc.php to point there.
40 Feel free to try the stuff in 'fancy-example', which is approximately what
41 I use for my own site. See dcoombs.inc.html for the layout.
48 Read the README. That's how.
