   3  -------------------------------------------------------------------
   4  
   5  
   6  1. Requirements
   7  
   8  Make sure you have PHP 4.0 or higher installed (when using PHP 4.2
   9  you need to set "register_globals" to "on" in your php.ini). MyDMS
  10  will work with PHP running in CGI-mode as well as running as module
  11  under apache.
  12  If you want to give your users the opportunity of uploading passport
  13  photos you have to enable the gd-library (but the rest of MyDMS will
  14  work without gd, too).
  15  
  16  
  17  2. Installation & Configuration
  18  
  19  Unzip the downloaded file (mydms-1.4.3.zip) in a directory that is
  20  accessible via your web server.
  21  
  22  You will also need to create a directory where the uploaded files
  23  are stored. This directory should not be accessible via your
  24  web-server for security reasons (create it outside of your www-root
  25  directory or put an appropriate .htaccess file in it).
  26  
  27  Next you should set up your Database. Use the included script
  28  create_tables.sql. Since the exact procedure differs on the
  29  differend database-systems I cannot give you a detailed instruction
  30  here. Post any questions concering this problem to the MyDMS-Forum.
  31  
  32  Now edit inc.Settings.php.
  33  Open that file (it is located in the "inc"-directory) and set the
  34  variables to the correct values (you will find a short description
  35  for each variable in the file itself).
  36  
  37  TIP: You can find out your root-directory by placing th following
  38  line into a php-file: <? phpInfo(); ?>
  39  Open it with your browser and look for "DOCUMENT_ROOT".
  40  
  41  When running into problems with the db-settings read the readme-file
  42  in the adodb-directory or post questions to the MyDMS-Forum.
  43  
  44  By default PHP allows only files to be uploaded that are up to 2Mb
  45  in size. You can change this limit by editing php.ini: Search for
  46  "upload_max_filesize" and set it to the appropriate value (you
  47  should also change the value for "post_max_size" and make sure that
  48  your web-server does not limit the size either).
  49  
  50  
  51  3. Install additional languages and themes
  52  
  53  Since version 1.3.1 you have to install additional languages (only
  54  german and English are included) manually. You can download language
  55  files from dms.markuswestpahl.de/download.html. Unzip the downloaded
  56  file in the langauges-dicrectory.
  57  The same applies to themes (you have to unzip the downloaded fiels to
  58  the themes-directory, of course).
  59  
  60  
  61  4. Email Notification
  62  
  63  MyDMS allows notification of users via email on new/updated or
  64  expired documents. Installing this feature is a little bit more
  65  tricky. You need to change the working directory to the
  66  "op-directory" and then run the php-executable followed by
  67  "op.NotifyMailer.php". This should be done daily. Of course you
  68  need not do that by hand: Under Linux use the cron-daemon and
  69  under windows the "Scheduled Tasks" in the system configuration.
  70  Refer to the corresponding man-pages or the windows help (a sample
  71  script (runNotifyMailer.bat) for windows is included).
  72  
  73  
  74  5. Additional Mime-types
  75  
  76  Each Mime-Type is represented by an icon. You can add additional
  77  Mime-Types by placing an image-file in out/images/icons an adding
  78  an entry to the $icons array at the end of file inc/inc.OutUitls.php
  79  (only for users with PHP experience).
  80  
  81  
  82  6. Auto-conversion to HTML
  83  
  84  Version 1.3.0 introduces a new feature: Documents can automatically be
  85  converted to HTML when uploading.
  86  You can enable this feature by setting $_enableConverting (in 
  87  inc.Settings.php) to true.
  88  You will also need to edit $_convertFileTypes (again in 
  89  inc.Settings.php). This array defines which file-types are converted
  90  and how.
  91  Under windows Word-, Excel- and Powerpoint-Files are automatically
  92  converted using js-Scipts and MS-Office. I tested it with Office 2000
  93  and it worked just fine.
  94  Under Linux mswordview is used to convert Word-Files by default.
  95  Warning: Getting this feature working can be very tricky but if it
  96  works it is a great enhancement I think.
  97  Especially IIS could cause problems with its IIS-Guest-Account not
  98  having enough rights to execute Word or Excel...
  99  You will also have to edit your httpd.conf to be able to view the converted
 100  files online. Load mod_rewrite and add to following lines to your conf:
 101  
 102    RewriteEngine on
 103    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)viewonline/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.+)$
 104    RewriteRule (.*)viewonline/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.+)$ $1op.ViewOnline.php?request=$2:$3 [PT]
 105  
 106  IIS Users can download the IIS Rewrite Engine for example:

 108  
 109  Post any questions to the MyDMS forum, please.

 113  7. Nearly finished
 114   
 115  Now point your browser to http://your.server.com/mydms/index.php
 116  and login with “admin” both as username and password.
 117  After having logged in you should first choose "My Account" and
 118  change the Administrator's password and email-address.
