Installation

Summary

This document provides instructions to install amazOOP: a PHP OOP API for AWS.

It is assumed that you have already downloaded a file named amazoop_vX_X.zip or amazoop_vX_X.tar.gz (where X_X is the version number) from the project's page, which contains the source files. If you haven't, please do so now by going to the project's file list at this address: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=100296

It is also assumed that you have access to a web server, either physically or through a file transfer protocol such as FTP or SFTP, that this server is running PHP 4.3.0 or higher, and that it is correctly configured.

Extract source files

amazOOP can be configured to work on both a test server and a definitive server. Throughout this documentation we will assume that your test server is running Microsoft Windows and your site is stored in directory c:\path\to. Your definitive server will be running a flavor of UNIX and your site will be stored in directory /path/to. This is a practical decision to show the syntax that should be used on both types of operating systems.

Now you should extract the contents of the file you downloaded to your website's directory. We will first extract the source files to the test server in order to correctly configure amazOOP before uploading the files to the definitive server.

Once you extract the files you should have the following directory structure:

c:\path\to\amazoop\cache\
c:\path\to\amazoop\tmp\
c:\path\to\amazoop\CHANGELOG
c:\path\to\amazoop\INSTALL
c:\path\to\amazoop\LICENSE
c:\path\to\amazoop\README
c:\path\to\amazoop\aq.lib.php
c:\path\to\amazoop\aq.php
c:\path\to\amazoop\config.inc.php
c:\path\to\amazoop\details.class.php
c:\path\to\amazoop\error.log
c:\path\to\amazoop\feed.xml
c:\path\to\amazoop\other.class.php
c:\path\to\amazoop\parser.class.php
c:\path\to\amazoop\requests.log
c:\path\to\amazoop\stores.inc.php

That's all you need to do to install amazOOP. Now, continue to configure amazOOP.
