SkyBlueCanvas Installation

The setup of SkyBlueCanvas is very simple.

FTP Installation:

  1. Download the tar file and extract the contents into a folder 
     on your compter.
  2. Log into your FTP account on your webserver and upload the 
     SkyBlueCanvas code.
  3. Change the file permissions of /skyblue/data/ to 755 and apply the 
     changes recursively to all directories and files in the /skyblue/data/ 
     directory.
  4. When you log in to the Admin Control Panel, go to Admin > Settings > 
     Default Info, and enter the info in the form. This will enable emailing 
     through your site and will set the full URL so that RSS feeds will point 
     to your site pages.
  5. That's it. You're done and are now ready to start adding text and 
     pictures to your site.

Command-line (shell) Installation:

   1. Download the tar file and place it in the root of your new website.
   2. Unpack the tarball (tar -zxf skyblue.tar.gz)
   3. Rename the file /skyblue/htaccess.txt to .htaccess (dot htaccess) 
      to enable SEF URLs
   4. Change the owner/group of the directory contents (chown -R www:www *)
   5. When you log in to the Admin Control Panel, go to Admin > Settings > 
      Default Info, and enter the info in the form. This will enable emailing 
      through your site and will set the full URL so that RSS feeds will point 
      to your site pages.
   6. That's it. You're done. 

Type. Click. Publish.

You are now ready to start adding your site's content. You can log into the SkyBlueCanvas admin control panel by going to http://www.yourdomain.com/admin.php.
