* IMPORTANT!!!!

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml .inc
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

* Create a database for postaci. This can be done with the command "mysqladmin create postaci"

* make sure the database name is the same at includes/global.inc file.

* Create a temp folder for sending attachments. All the permissions should be the user nobody' This is the user which apacheruns as. use the following commands...

mkdir /tmp/postaci/
mkdir /tmp/postaci/send/
mkdir /tmp/postaci/store
chown nobody.nobody -R /tmp/postaci
chmod 770 -R /tmp/postaci

* make sure the directory is correctly specified at the includes/global.inc file.

* run the following command and create the necessary tables in the DB.

cd queries
mysql postaci < postaci-mysql-1.1.sql

* insert the domains you like to the tblDomains.sql file in queries folder. The syntax is as follows.

INSERT INTO tblDomains VALUES (1,'trlinux.com');
INSERT INTO tblDomains VALUES (2,'test.com');

* Insert the data for Domains to the DB with the following command.

mysql postaci < tblDomains.sql

* Create a Database USER.

$ mysql postaci
mysql > grant usage on postaci.* to dbuser@localhost;
mysql > grant select,insert,delete,update on postaci.* to dbuser@localhost;
mysql > exit;
$ mysqladmin -u dbuser password "new password"

* make sure the password is the same as "new password" in the includes/global.inc file.

* put your postaci files to a reachable directory and point your browser to that URL.

* thats all........
