Hi Arman,

So far we don't have a utility to install all campsite dependencies (PHP,
apache, MySQL etc.) and we don't have the resources to do it now. That would be
a separate project in itself: it's very complex because every Linux distro has
it's own way of packaging: different package names, different package content
and different packaging system. Just to support 3-4 distros would require a lot
of work. What we can do is try to simplify the install procedure as much as
possible and detect missing dependencies.

There are two ways to install campsite:

1. single system: everything is installed on the same system
2. multiple system: modules can be installed on different systems in order to
spread the load

Anyway you want to install campsite you can install multiple instances for
supporting multiple clients. In order to install an instance you have to modify
the instance name (APP_NAME at install time) and database name (DATABASE_NAME
at install time), configure the ADMIN module to be installed in different
directories and configure a new virtual server in apache.

Here are the steps you should take when installing a new instance:

1. unarchive campsite sources in a separate directory
2. run install script, answer No when asked: Do you want to upgrade the current
installation?
3. change the instance name, change the parser port to 2002, 2003 ...
(increment it with every new instance installed), change the database name to
the instance name, change the admin HTML, CGI and SCRIPT directories
4. after finishing the install create a new virtual server in apache (read
INSTALL file for more information)

Hope this helps,
Mugur
