    Hello,
    I am a newcomer to Campsite, I've installed it at my notebook according to
    instructions that I have found,
    and here, you can see my notes on that.

    1) Both campsite/INSTALL and web sites, e.g.
    http://en.flossmanuals.net/Campsite/InstallationSteps
    http://en.flossmanuals.net/Campsite/InstallingCampsiteOnUbun tu
    talk about 'implementation/site' subdirectory. It is 'src' now.

    Well, I've already told that to Holman, he fixed it.

    2) Ad installation instructions at web manual
    I would expect the Campsite things to be at the beginning (it is the product
    itself),
    then database things, then php things (or just links into package
    requirements).
    Instead, the Apache things are at the beginning (even though I am not
    willing to uses Apache at all).

    3) Info on write permissions
    Exact necessary write permissions inside the Campsite directory structure
    are revealed only during installing it.
    They are as below, but am not sure which ones are just temporary:
    Document Root
    campsite/src/install/cron_jobs
    campsite/src/conf
    campsite/src/templates
    campsite/src/templates_cache
    campsite/src/plugins
    campsite/src/backup

    The info does vary among website howtos, e.g.
    http://wiki.sourcefabric.org/display/CS/Install+on+Shared+Ho sting+Using+PHP-CGI
    does not have backup, cron directories mentioned.

    4) Info on database preparation was again given only during installing. Is
    it available somewhere?

    5) For now, I struggle with rewriting rewrite rules for Nginx.

    Thanks,
    M.
