Installation of the hypertext system and the MULTIMEDIA CATALOGUE

To install the hypertext system and the MULTIMEDIA CATALOGUE just unpack the archive hypertext-system.tar.gz in the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your apache web server. It will create a directory htsys which can be renamed if this is required. This will from now on be called the root directory of the hypertext system. Do the same with the archive hypertext-images.tar.gz which will create a directory htsys_images. The MULTIMEDIA CATALOGUE is part of these archives and does not have to be installed separately.

The root directory of the hypertext system must contain a directory named secrets. It will store the users profiles and may only be accessible by the web server for security reasons. Create in by running mkdir secrets in the root directory of the hypertext system.

The MULTIMEDIA CATALOGUE may use external meta data to describe each catalogue entry. For installation of this module, unpack the archives mmc-lom.tar.gz and mmc-lom-images.tar.gz in the DOCUMENT_ROOT. It will create the two directories lom and lom_images. The archives contain a stand alone LOM-Editor (Learning Object Model) which may be used without the MULTIMEDIA CATALOGUE. Installing the editor is optional but highly recommend.
