Thank you for buying LikeList 1.2!

This document will guide you through the installation of LikeList.

1. Installing LikeList

Requirements

1. PHP5 and above, as LikeList uses the MySQLi extension.
2. Apache webserver works out of the box with pretty urls. For lighttpd, consult section 4.
   By default, pretty urls are off and can be turned on in the admin panel.
   Note that it will not work on localhost, because Facebook can't access it!
3. A mysql 4.1+ (prefered 5.0+) database.
4. You can get cheap reliable hosting with all the above at [Hostgator].

Steps

1. Unzip the file to a local directory, and upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your FTP.
2. Make writable (chmod 777) the following files/directories from the FTP client:
   • config.php
   • data/ (and contents)
   • templates_c/
   • admin/templates_c/
3. Please note that you will need a database in order for LikeList to work. If you haven't done so yet, go to your Webhosts management panel (cPanel, Plesk, etc) and configure a database for LikeList.
4. Point your web browser to yoursite.com/install.php, and follow the instructions. Installation takes less than 1 minute!
5. DO NOT FORGET to delete install.php after installation!

2. Running LikeList

Once installed, LikeList is easily managed by the admin panel, which can be accessed by adding /admin/ to your site's address (default user/password is admin/admin).

From there you can manage pretty much everything in your site. The options are not complicated, so feel free to explore them.

4. Lighttpd Configuration Rewrites

These are the rewrites needed in order to use pretty urls on the lighttpd webserver.

If you're not using this webserver, disregard this.

    url.rewrite-once = (
        "^/index$" => "index.php",
        "^/create$" => "create.php",
        "^/report$" => "report.php",
        "^/email$" => "email.php",
        "^/rss/?$" => "rss.php",
        "^/like/(\d+)*($|\?)" => "like.php?l=$1",
        "^/track$" => "track.php",
        "^/track/(\d+)*$" => "track.php?ad=$1",
        "^/search/([^\/]+)*($|\?)" => "search.php?k=$1",
        "^/search/([^\/]+)*/([0-9]+)($|\?)" => "search.php?k=$1&p=$2",
        "^/search/([^\/]+)*/([^\/]+)*($|\?)" => "search.php?t=$1&k=$2",
        "^/search/([^\/]+)*/([^\/]+)*/([0-9]+)($|\?)" => "search.php?t=$1&k=$2&p=$3",
        "^/page/(\d+)*($|\?)" => "page.php?p=$1",
        "^/page/([^\/]+)*($|\?)" => "page.php?n=$1"
    )
