8 You'll need a PHP4-capable web server and a modicum of patience.
9 The quickest way to get going looks like this:
11 - procure a web-accessible directory, which we'll call DIR.
13 - copy index.php and rss_*.inc to DIR.
15 - copy the extlib directory to DIR/extlib.
17 - copy (cp -a) example/* to DIR/.
19 - make appropriate changes to DIR/config.inc.php.
21 - make a directory DIR/cache with permissions such that your web server
22 can write to it from a PHP script. (Might be 0777 your web server is
23 configured to run all scripts as 'nobody'...)
25 You should now be able to point your browser at
26 http://www.domain.com/DIR/?beslow=1 and see entries from the RSS feeds
27 listed in config.inc.php.
29 Pointing your browser at http://www.domain.com/DIR/ will give you a cached
30 version of the page. You'll want to make a 'cron' job that uses 'wget' to
31 regenerate the page (with beslow=1) every so often.
38 Try setting $layout to 'fancy.inc.html' instead of 'simple.inc.html' in
39 config.inc.php. This is a more complex layout, nearly identical to what is
40 used on http://pla.nit.ca/ .
47 Read the README. That's how.
