Download and prepare

#Download latest learnloop 1 to the server, from sourceforge
#Unpack the package with tar (if version 1_1_b2):

tar xvzf learnloop-1_1_b2.tar.gz

#Change the settings in the file include/general.inc.php to match your server, database and so on (if you do not have the database ready, look futher down)

#Change the owner on the objects in learnloop to suitable group:user (have to be an existing group and user, do not use root as group or user) nobody is an example:

chown -R nobody:nobody learnloop

#To be able to use some of the uploading features in learnloop you need to make sure that the following libraries are created has write access. ( ls -l should give you: drwxr-xr-x for all this libraries, otherwise use e.g. chmod 755 homepages/themes)
homepages/themes
homepages/images
resources/files
users/picture

#If you are uppgrading from erlier relases look further down under upgrades.

New database

#To create the learnloop database follow this steps:

#If you newly installed MySQL, you have to change the root password, for security reasons:
mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

#Start mysql-client and create the database (and then add privileges to a MySQL user with a suitable password)
(If you already have a empty database (eg at a webhotel) you can use that database, use the name of it insted of learnloop.) If you have another account for mysql, uses that.

mysql -u root -p mysql

>CREATE DATABASE learnloop;

>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON learnloop TO lluser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'llpassword';

#This gives you a separate mysql-user for learnloop, eg. lluser, with the password llpassword. Change it to what you prefere.

#exit mysql-client ( \q ) and import the tables by running:

mysql -u lluser -p learnloop < sql/learnloop.sql

Uppgrading from earlier versions of databases

Uppgrading is only supported from version 1.0. The database is not changed. This
script will only add the standard themes that were missing in earlier release.

To upgrade learnloop from earlier release run the sql script called update-1_1.sql

mysql -u lluser -p learnloop < sql/update-1_1.sql

If you havn't installed the source over the old sources you may need to move some
of the data libraries.

Start Learnloop

Use a browser to open index.html in the url where you have extracted the source. To login
the first time you need to use the user Admin with no password.
