Installation Instructions for LAM
---------------------------------


1. Requirements

   - Apache webserver (SSL optional) with installed PHP-Module (PHP-Module with
     ldap, gettext, mcrypt+mhash optional)
   - Perl
   - Openldap (>2.0)
   - A web browser :-)

   Getting mcrypt and mhash for Suse/RedHat:

   Either you compile PHP4 yourself or you use some unofficial packages:

   - Suse: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/poeml/mod_php4
   - RedHat: http://ftp.horde.org/pub/RPMS


2. Installation

   * Extract package with:
     tar xzf lam-version.tar.gz

   * Copy files into the html-file scope of the webserver. For example
     /apache/htdocs.

   * Set appropriate file permissions:
     - /lam/sess: write permission for apache user
     - /lam/tmp: write permission for apache user
     - /lam/config (with subdirectories): write permission for apache user
     - /lam/lib: perl files must be set executable (See also
       docs/readme.lamdeamon.pl)

   * Configure config.cfg and create a configuration profile.
     Copy config.cfg_sample to config.cfg and set the master password and default
     profile.
     Then use the web interface with the link "Configuration Login" (start file is /lam/index.html)
     or configure LAM manually. (The default password to edit the options is "lam")

     - Manually:
       A default config file can be found in /lam/config/lam.conf_sample.
       Change the necessary entries and rename it to /lam/config/lam.conf.
