Installation instructions for Advanced Website Creator (AWC)
------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING: PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE LINUX VERSION OF THE AWC INSTALLER.
IT WILL NOT WORK UNDER WINDOWS. IF YOU NEED TO INSTALL AWC ON WINDOWS, YOU
MUST DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS INSTALLER FROM http://www.awcreator.com/

If you meet any problems with this installation, please report them to
info@awcreator.com

In order to install Advanced Website Creator (AWC) you will need the
following pre-requisites:

- Apache with mod_rewrite support.
- Linux with GLIBC 2.1+ support.
- PHP 5.0+ with IonCube loader.
- PostgreSQL 8.0+.

The installation itself consists of the following steps:

1. Unpack the AWC archive into a temporary directory.
2. Optionally run "su" and change your user ID to "root". If you decide not
   to perform the install as "root", then make sure that your current user
   is allowed to modify the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) and has
   write permissions for the directory where AWC will be installed. Most
   likely your non-root user will not have enough privileges to restart the
   Apache httpd web server, so you will have to restart it manually.
3. Run install.sh from the temporary directory where you have unpacked AWC.
   When prompted for different install options either hit Enter to accept
   the default value or enter a new value.
4. Go to http://the-installation-domain-or-ip/admin and login with the
   username and password you have chosen in step 3.
5. Optionally modify the AWC runtime configuration from the "Settings" menu.
6. Add new users from the "Users" menu.
7. Go to http://the-installation-domain-or-ip/ and login as the regular user
   that you have created in step 6.
