Install guide Apache servers running PHP 5

1. Download the framework

   Download the latest stable release from the Nephtali website. Unzip the archive and read the Nephtali license information.

2. Upload the Nephtali directory

   Upload the Nephtali directory to your website. For security reasons, the Nephtali directory should be one level above the public directory of your website (typically labeled 'public_html'.)

3. Edit the configuration files for your server

   Nephtali works by prepending and appending Nephali scripts to each PHP page request (and making sure some other settings are secure.)

   Follow the instructions below for the configuration of the server you're on:

   • Standard install

     1. Copy the contents of the doc/standard_install directory to your public web directory (often, public_html.)
     2. View the file http://yourwebsite.com/setup.php to easily retrieve your include path, view a suggested include path, and learn if there are any known configuration issues.
     3. Open the file htaccess and add the path to the Nephatli 'src' directory to the PHP include path
        
        For example, a typical path to the directory would be:
        /home/username/nephtali_x_x_x/src
     4. Rename the file htaccess so it has the preceding '.', making htaccess an extension rather than a name.

   • suPHP install

     1. Copy the contents of the doc/standard_install directory to your public web directory (often, public_html.)
     2. View the file http://yourwebsite.com/setup.php to easily retrieve your include path, view a suggested include path, and learn if there are any known configuration issues.
     3. Open the file htaccess and add the path to your public web directory to your suPHP configuration path.
     4. Rename the file htaccess so it has the preceding '.', making htaccess an extension rather than a name.
     5. Open the file php.ini and add the path to the Nephatli 'src' directory to the PHP include path.
        
        For example, a typical path to the directory woudl be:
        /home/username/nephtali_x_x_x/src

4. Upload the file(s)

   Upload the test.php and the configuration files you edited to the public directory of your website, then view http://yourwebsite.com/test.php to confirm that everything is working correctly.

   Congratulations on installing Nephtali :)
