   5      
   6  ProjectPier requires a web server, PHP (5.0.2 or greater with MySQL, GD, and 
   7  SimpleXML extensions) and MySQL with InnoDB support. The recommended web 
   8  server is Apache, but IIS 5 and above have been reported to work also.
   9      
  10  ProjectPier is not PHP4 compatible and it will not run on PHP versions prior
  11  to PHP 5.0.2.
  12      
  13  Recommended configuration:
  14      
  15  : PHP 5.1 or greater
  16  : MySQL 4.1 or greater with InnoDB support (see notes below)
  17  : Apache 2.0 or greater
  18          
  19  If you do not have these installed on a server or your personal computer, 
  20  you can visit the sites below to learn more about how to download and install
  21  them.  They are all licensed under various compatible Open Source licenses.

  35  Installation
  36  ~~~~~~~~~~~~
  37      
  38  1. Make sure your server meets the requirements, see notes below regarding
  39     enabling InnoDB support.
  40  2. Download ProjectPier from the project website - http://www.projectpier.org/.
  41  3. Unpack and upload the files to your web server.
  42  4. Direct your browser to the /public/install directory and follow the installation
  43     procedure.

  46  Enabling InnoDB Support
  47  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  48  
  49  Some installations of MySQL don't support InnoDB by default.  The ProjectPier installer 
  50  will tell you if your server is not configured to support InnoDB. This is easy to fix: 
  51  
  52  1. Open your MySQL options file, the file name is my.cnf (Linux) - usually at /etc/my.cnf 
  53     or my.ini (Windows) - usually at c:/windows/my.ini.  If you are using the Uniform Server
  54     on Windows, the file will be named 'my-small' and will need to be edited with a unix 
  55     compatible editor such as PSPad or EditPad Lite.
  56  2. Comment the skip-innodb line by adding # in front of it (like #skip-innodb). 
  57  3. It would also be good to increase max_allowed_packet to ensure that 
  58     you'll be able to upload files larger than 1MB. Just add this 
  59     line bellow #skip-innodb line: 
  60     set-variable = max_allowed_packet=64M

  63  Changing the Language
  64  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  65  
  66  ProjectPier installation screens are in English and English is the default language
  67  for the program.  However, ProjectPier is distributed with 13 other language options.
  68  
  69  After installation is complete, the language can be changed by manually editing the
  70  file /config/config.php. 
  71  
  72  How: Find this line in your config.php file: define('DEFAULT_LOCALIZATION', 'en_us');
  73       Change en_us to the appropriate language abbreviation (select from the list below).
  74       Example for German: define('DEFAULT_LOCALIZATION', 'de_de');
  75  
  76  The following languages are available:
  77  da_dk = Danish
  78  de_de = German
  79  el_gr = Greek
  80  en_us = English (US)
  81  es_ar = Argentinian Spanish
  82  hu_formal = Hungarian (formal)
  83  hu_informal = Hungarian (informal)
  84  nl_nl = Dutch
  85  pl_pl = Polish
  86  pt_br = Bralilian Portuguese
  87  pt_pt = Continental Portuguese
  88  sl_si = Slovenian
  89  sv_sv = Swedish
  90  tr_tr = Turkish
  91  zn_ch = Simplified Chinese
