Current Version: 0.9.1 (released: October 14, 2002)
Welcome to IPM!
The response to my little hack has been extremely encouraging, I want to thank
all of you for your feedback, and for giving it a chance. IPM continues to grow
into a slick, useful project manager.
This code is rapidly becoming more stable, however documentation has not been
completed.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
The only requirements for IPM are:
1. Apache with PHP4.
2. MySQL.
3. Projects to track.
INSTALL
-------
1. Just untar all the files in this distribution to any directory accesible by the web.
2. Edit the config.php file to suit your needs. (There are instructions in it.)
3. Create a database for your IPM projects. Call this IPM
(or anything you wish to call it, please just reflect that in the config.php file)
4. Create the tables in the new database using the NEW-INSTALL.sql file provided with this
distribution (in the sql/ directory). eg.:
mysql -p IPM < NEW-INSTALL.sql
5. The default username/password is "project"/"tracker" (without the quotes). I suggest
changing this when you can.
6. Point your browser to www.yourdomain.com/IPMdir and start tracking!
UPGRADING from v0.8.x
-------------------
1. Just untar all the files in this distribution to any directory accesible by the web.
**NOTE** Overwriting the files in your original directory is fine and will cause no
damage to your database data.
2. Edit the new config.php to suit your needs.
3. Update your database with the file UPGRADE.sql (in the sql/ directory) eg.:
mysql -p IPM < UPGRADE.sql
4. Access the site as you have before and have fun with the new functionality
