Requirements

You need the following in order to use CMScout3:

• Apache with mod_rewrite running and .htaccess files should be allowed.
• PHP > version 5

Currently CMScout 3 has only been tested with:

• Apache v2.2.11
• PHP v5.2.x and v5.3.x
• MySQL 5.1.x

Installing

To install CMScout3 to work do the following (assuming you already have cloned the git repository):

• Get the CakePHP core (You can clone git://github.com/dakota/cakephp-fork.git)

• Where the CakePHP core is, doesn't really matter.

• Open cmscout/webroot/index.php and edit line 53 to match the absolute location of the CakePHP core.

• Next, you need to grab the submodules - The only one that is currently required is debugKit.

• In your git command prompt, type git submodule init, followed by git submodule update. Git should then fetch all the submodules.

• Create a database

• Create/Edit cmscout/config/database.php and insert/change the following (Changing where necessary): <?php class DATABASE_CONFIG {

  		var $default = array(
  			'driver' => 'mysql',
  			'persistent' => false,
  			'host' => 'localhost',
  			'login' => 'root',
  			'password' => '',
  			'database' => 'cmscout3',
  			'prefix' => 'cms_',
  		);
  	}
  ?>
  

• Run cake schema create if you are installing fresh, or cake schema update if you are updating

• Import the cmscout3.sql file into the database (Only on fresh installs)

• The default username/password for CMScout3 is admin/123456

• Enjoy
