===== Quick config for a personal website ===== 1. Edit the local.php file : choose a title for your website, choose a start page (that must exist, so create it first !), activate the Access Control List, and choose a group (admin here) which is allowed to edit the pages. It becomes : $conf['title'] = 'The Title of my website'; $conf['start'] = 'Home'; $conf['useacl'] = 1; $conf['superuser'] = '@admin'; If your webserver has deactivated file functions in php like chmod, rmdir... you must add : $conf['safemodehack'] = 1; 2. Edit acl.auth.php to allow anybody to read your site, change this line at the bottom of the file : * @ALL 1 3. Edit users.auth.php : describe the users, with their login, password... and group (to allow them to edit the pages) ! Put it at the end of the file : a_user:xxxxxxxyyyy5555555:Miles Davis:miles@mail.org:admin another_user:xxxxxxzzzzzz6666666:Jaco Pastorius:jaco@bass.org:admin The xxxyyy333 strange strings are the result of a MD5 encoding.
