Installation Notes for IMP v1.5

[secure|insecure].html is the root of the frame system. secure.html uses
absolute links to dormant.html and login.php3 to ensure use of SSL; insecure
just uses relative links. You should edit secure.html so that it's
links point to the right imp directory.

Then put all of the files wherever you want imp to live, and season to taste.

Seriously, if you have the server configured with php3 and IMAP, IMP
shouldn't take much to get running. You can email me (chuck@osmos.ml.org) if
you have questions, and I'll do my best to help out.

Suggestions:

Change the defaults at the top of imp.lib.php3 to suit you. This should make
configuring IMP much easier than previous versions...


If you want a fancier/better installation, write one. I may get around to it
someday, but it's not high on the priority list...


If you want to use the standalone cgi version of php3, you have a few
options. If you're running Apache, you should be able to add this line:

Action application/x-httpd-php3 /cgi-bin/php    # or where your php cgi lives

to srm.conf (possibly this will work for other servers as well, but I don't
know), as well as the standard:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps   # this one is optional

... and then the php cgi should automatically handle .php3 files.

Or, you can do a fair amount of link editing. It stinks, but it should work
- it's just slower. One of these days I'll put in a $linkbase variable so
you can change that globally by editing one file...


Enjoy, Chuck Hagenbuch
