HotNews - Installation

  Preface:
    HotNews is a news generator written in PHP. It stores the data in a 
    MySQL database. It comes both with the news page itself and an 
    administrative interface for adding/changeing news. For the 
    administrative interface it uses http authorization.
    It has been designed to support mutiple newspages with one installaton.
    
  Quick Install:
   * Unpack the distribution.
     "tar xvf hotnews-x.x.x.tar.gz"
   * Open the file index.php3 in your favourite editor and change
     it to fit your environment.
   * Create a database in MySQL or use an existing database. If you want
     to create a new one, this can be done with the following command :
       "mysqladmin create <database> -u <user> -p"
     E.g. if you want to use database news and user root
       "mysqladmin create news -u root -p"
     Note : The user is a MySQL user (use root if you haven't added any
     users) and the "-p" switch is only needed if the user has a password.
   * Create the table structures from the news.mysql and admins.mysql.
     You can add them by typing (in the tables directory) :
       "mysql <database> -u <user> -p < news.mysql"
       "mysql <database> -u <user> -p < admins.mysql"
     E.g. if you want to use database news and user root
       "mysql news -u root -p < news.mysql"
       "mysql news -u root -p < admins.mysql"
   * If you enable cacheing you must make sure that the webserver (often
     nobody or www-data) can write to the cache directory
     (by default hotnews/cache).
   * Open <your-host>/<your-install-dir>/index.php3 in your 
     browser. The HotNews main page should now be displayed.
   * Open <your-host>/<your-install-dir>/index.php3?mode=newsadmin
     in your browser. You will be asked about a username and password.
     the default is username "admin" (without quotes) and password "123".
   * Change the default username / password!
