*unzip the freshly downloaded OpenFlyers archive in any folder. A new folder named ''''openflyers_v1_3_0'''' will be created
*unzip the freshly downloaded PearPool archive in the ''''openflyers_v1_3_0'''' folder. A new folder will be created named ''''pearPool_v1_3''''.
*rename that folder as ''''include'''';
*in the ''''openflyers_v1_3_0'''' folder, create a new folder named ''''sessions''''.
*in the ''''conf'''' folder, open the file named config.php and make the following changes :
- '''define ('DEFAULT_LANG','francais');'''
- '''define ('PEAR_DIRECTORY',ROOT_PATH.'/include');'''
Save your changes.
*in the same folder open the file named connect.php and fill the following fields :
define ('HOST','"your login".free.fr');
define ('BASE','"your login or your MYSQL database name"');
define ('VISITOR','"your login or your specific database login"');
define ('PASSWORD_VISITOR','your password or your specific database password');

*in the ''''install'''' folder, open the file named install.php and replace the following paragraph :
foreach ($pearRequiredPacks as $pearFile) {
foreach ($explosedPaths as currentPath) {
if (substr ($currentPath, strlen($currentPath)-1, 1) != '/') $currentPath .= '/';
if ($handler=file_exists($currentPath.$pearFile)) {
$openedPacks[] = $pearFile;
}
}
}
by

foreach ($pearRequiredPacks as $pearFile) {
$currentPath=$explosedPaths[0];
if (substr ($currentPath, strlen($currentPath)-1, 1) != '/') $currentPath .= '/';
if ($handler=file_exists($currentPath.$pearFile)) {
$openedPacks[] = $pearFile;
}
}
*it is almost done. We must now remove the lock table request in two files located in the ''''includes'''' folder. The first one is named recordBooking.php. Delete lines 225 to 228 :

if (!$database->query('lock tables aircrafts as reference read, member_qualif read,
qualification read, aircraft_qualif read, authentication as real_auth read,
authentication as inst_auth read, aircrafts read,clubs read, members read, profiles read,
instructors read, authentication read, exceptionnal_inst_dates read, regular_presence_inst_dates read,
booking write, logs write'))
{
displayBadRequest($lang['BOOK_UNABLE_LOCK']);
}
The second is named recordInstructorsRests.php. Delete lines 90, 91 and 195 :
////////////////////////////// Main code start here /////////////////////////////////
90 if($database->query('lock tables instructors read, profiles read, authentication read,
exceptionnal_inst_dates write, regular_presence_inst_dates write'))
91 {
195 }
* then you must transfer all files contained in the ''''openflyers_v1_3_0'''' folder to your remote location (do not tranfer the ''''openflyers_v1_3_0'''' folder, only what resides in this folder.
*finally type in your web browser http://"your login".free.fr/install/install.php.

If an error occurs about mails, then edit the config.php file and replace the following :
define ('MAIL_FACTORY','@MAIL_FACTORY@');
define ('MAIL_HOST','@MAIL_HOST@'); // should be change : with localhost you don't send mail far away !
define ('MAIL_AUTH_NAME','@MAIL_AUTH_NAME@'); // if you have authentication with smtp fill this.
Work only with smtp factory
define ('MAIL_AUTH_PASSWORD','@MAIL_AUTH_PASSWORD@'); // if you have authentication with smtp fill
this. Work only with smtp factory
by

define ('MAIL_FACTORY','MAIL');
define ('MAIL_HOST','LOCALHOST'); // should be change : with localhost you don't send mail far away !
define ('MAIL_AUTH_NAME',' '); // if you have authentication with smtp fill this. Work only with
smtp factory
define ('MAIL_AUTH_PASSWORD',' ');

=Mail configuration=
During the install, it will be ask you which mail send method shoud be used.

You have the choice between :
*null (no mail management)
*mail (use internal PHP Mail)
*smtp (use the PEAR::Net_SMTP package)
*sendmail (use sendmail generally located in the usr/sbin/ directory but you can change this (read the PEAR/Mail/sendmail.php file))

If you choose smtp, you can also specify an authentication and password couple.

The most used are "mail" and "smtp". Try and test !

To change your mail configuration after complete installation, you just have to edit the conf/config.php file. Mail parameters are :
*MAIL_FACTORY
*MAIL_HOST
*MAIL_AUTH_NAME
*MAIL_AUTH_PASSWORD
