These packages can be installed directly from the websites linked above and are also available within most GNU/Linux distributions package management systems.
Installing phpBMS
- Download the archived release file from PhpbmsDownload.
- Extract the files to a location on your web server.
- Extract the files for any third-party modules to their directory in <your phpbms directory>/modules/ (the only known third-party module is TimeEntry?)
- Point your browser to the automated installation script on the installation directory. The URL to access would be in the form of:
http://<server>/<possible sub-directory>/install/
For example if you are running phpBMS on localhost it will behttp://localhost/phpbms/install/
- Follow the on screen instruction to complete your installation. When you reach the module installation stage 99.9% of users will want to install the BMS module.
- After installation you'll need to make the install/ directory and modules/*/install directories inaccessible by the web server. This can be done by deleting these folders or by moving them to a folder the web server cannot access.
