Install

Introduction

Create a seemless install for the admin on any server. Base this install on the 1.5x version of Joomla - http://www.joomla.org/

However the needs of our admin are different. Please follow this rule set to complete this job.

• As with any install it needs to be self contained - PHP5 is desirable as all server must have this to succeed with the admin anyway, so a quick check on PHP version etc will initially help.

• The install must not rely on any PEAR packages to be installed - you can place PEAR packages within the install folder such as quickform to ease with the code, but DONT rely on them to be installed.

• PEAR packages are required to be installed and the first stage of this install script is to check for PEAR, if installed and the PATH present then install the packages required for the admin. These are listed here Server_Setup

• Once installation is finished then the user should be prompted to delete the install folder.

• As a side to this and maybe a helpful start please get the PEARinfo() element working within the install folder.

Todo

• Create the PEARinfo page - http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR_Info
• This will need PEAR and PearInfo installed - can this be done or at least checked for at the start of the script.
• Within the install add in the PEAR Web Frontend - http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR_Frontend_Web
• Create a script to analyse the PEAR installation on a server and make sure it complies with what the admin needs.
