[SPTUsers] RE:How to install SPT on windows 2000

[Ming]

To Install SPT On Windows 2000:

If running:
[1] Apache 2.0.47
[2] MySQL 4.0
[3] PHP 4.3.3
[4] Windows 2000 Professional

you cannot use "sptinstall-1.1.3" script to install spt on windows 2000 platform.If you really want to use the script,you must modify the script.However,the scritp is indispensible to the installation process.Steps to install spt are as follows:

[1]unzip "spt-1.1.3.tgz" to your www root directroy,or a new created subdirecty,for example,named "spt",in it.
[2]View the "sptinstall-1.1.3" script,check the section tagged as " # set up subdirectory soft links", then mannually procceed those steps to duplicate those  files to their related directory according to your environment.(It is pity that on windows 2000 there is no tecchnology of "soft links",so you have to duplicate)
[3]Log in Mysql as root,to create a database and a related database user(remember its "grant option" privilege) to be used by SPT.
[4]Find configiuration file of SPT,that is "SPT--Config.php" file under "include" directory.Then modify it as follows(if created a database named "SPT" and a user named "spt" with "grant option" privilege on it) :
   # parameters for accessing SQL database server
   $DBUserName = "spt";
   $DBPassword = "";       #if user has a password then add in it here
   $DBHost = "localhsot";
   $DBName = "SPT";

That is all.
