******************************************************************************

This installation process has changed with release 1.0.0.

1. First, transfer the file to your webserver using whatever method you like
best (ftp, scp, etc). You will need to telnet/ssh into the server machine for
the next steps.

If you are upgrading see the UPGRADING document.

3. Next we will create the necessary database tables. Make sure you have
created the database ahead of time. You should know your mysql username and
password as well.

Go into the sql directory and run the following command:

mysql -u<username> -p<password> <databasename> < db_generate.sql

You could also cut and paste the sql statements from db_generate.sql into a
package like phpMyAdmin or into your terminal window.
3. Next we will create the necessary database tables and a basic configuration
file.

e.g. if your username is bob, password is mypass, database name is bugtracker:
From your web server, access http://yoursite/mantis/admin/install.php

mysql -ubob -pmypass bugtracker < db_generate.sql

You may require an additional host parameter if your SQL server is on another
machine. e.g. if your server is sqlserver

mysql -h sqlserver -ubob -pmypass bugtracker < db_generate.sql
This page will walk through the following steps:
a) check basic parameters for the web server
b) prompt for the database type and location, and a database user/password
pair. For installiion, an administrative user/password pair can also be
provided. The operating user requires ALTER, SELECT, INSERT, and UPDATE
privileges. For installation, INDEX, CREATE, DELETE, and DROP privileges are
also required.
c) create the database and tables.

* WARNING: A DEFAULT ADMINISTRATOR level account is created. The account name
and password are administrator / root. Use this when you first login to
Mantis. Immediately go to Manage and create at least one administrator level
account. Immediately after that DELETE the administrator account. You can
recreate it but you should delete the account to prevent the cookie_string
from being used to trick the package. It would be even better to rename the
account or delete it permanently. REMEMBER: After setting up the package,
REMOVE the default administrator account.

d) write a basic "config_inc.php file to define the database.
e) perform some post installation checks on the system.

4. The next part involves configuring the installation to work with your
specific setup.

In the installation directory, locate config_inc.php.sample and copy it to
config_inc.php.
Open the file in an editor and edit the values to match your settings. The
sample file contains only essential settings. There are many more that
you can use to customize your Mantis installation. See the customization.html
file for in depth explanations.
Open the file in an editor and add anyother values that are required. There are
many more that you can use to customize your Mantis installation. See the
doc/CUSTOMIZATION file for in depth explanations.

The file will overwrite the default values with those necessary for setup.
