In order to start using AWC you need to perform the following steps:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Run the AWC installer. During installation you will be prompted for a
directory where to install the AWC files. We recommend using
"C:\Program Files\Advanced Website Creator" (without the double quotes) but
you can choose any directory you want.

2. After the installation is complete, double-click on the AWC icon or run
AWC from the Start menu. This will activate the AWC monitor which allows you
to start/stop the AWC database and web servers.

3. After the AWC monitor is activated, double-click on its tray icon in order
to open the AWC monitor window, then click on [Start] button. This will start
the AWC servers and will start your default browser, navigating it to the AWC
user login area.

4. Login as an AWC user with the default user credentials:

username: user

After the login you can start work on AWC projects

WARNING: PLEASE USE http://127.0.0.1:8080/ TO ACCESS THE AWC INSTALLATION.
AVOID USING http://localhost:8080/ BECAUSE MOST BROWSERS ARE NOT ABLE TO SET
COOKIES CORRECTLY FOR THE "LOCALHOST" DOMAIN AND YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LOGIN
INTO THE AWC ADMIN AND USER AREAS.

The AWC installation comes with support for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite as
database backends. It also comes with the PostgreSQL and SQLite database
engines installed with the rest of the AWC files. Due to licensing restrictions
the MySQL database engine is not bundled with AWC. If you want to develop
websites using the MySQL database backend, you will have to manually install
the MySQL server on your machine and then configure AWC to use the installed
MySQL server. You can change the configuration from the admin area
