1.) READ README.TXT CAREFULLY!!!

2.) Create a ftp connection to your webserver and create a directory e.g. 
/guestbook within your website directory.

3.) Go into the created directory!

4.) Unzip the guestbook on your local harddisk.

5.) Copy all unpacked files and directories to your webserver with your ftp program.

6.) Now check the filepermissions from the data directory and the files: 
data/wordfilter.dat and config.php. If they are not writetable, change the permissions
with "chmod 766 [file or directory]" (you should do that with a telnet program).

7.) Load your website with a browser and see what happens. I will describe some 
error possibilities in the following lines (go to point 11 if you started the script
succesfully).

8.) If you get nothing, check your website with your telnet program again. If you see
a "temp" directory, check the filepermission and set them to 766 if it is needed. 
Create a "temp" directory by hand if the automatic creation doesn't worked on your 
webserver and set the filepermission too!

9.) Some servers are very restrictive and they don't need 766 but 777 to get working.
Connect your webserver with your telnet program again and set the directories: data 
and temp as well as the files temp/wordfilter.dat and config.php to 777 with "chmod"
(you get a help for this command with "man chmod").

10.) At the latest now it should work for everybody without errors! If it don't do 
what you want, replace the line "error_reporting(0);" from guestbook.php with 
"#error_reporting(0);", run the script again and report me the error messages per mail.
If you are experienced create a new file by the name of test.php (on some servers is
only the extension .php3 activ) and fill it with:

<?php
	phpinfo();
?>

Now send me the results and pray that i can help.

----------

11.) Please run the script admin/admin.php and use "admin" (without "") as first
password!!! You can setup all possible options inclusive the admin password now.

Have fun!!!
