IMPORTANT:

This file contains some information that you *must* read.  Skip over
this at your peril.

Anthill is powerful and has some powerful options that allow it to work
properly.  There are also optional components that you will need to be
aware of.

1) Permissions

The Anthill webtree contains four directories that must be writable by
the web user (usually apache or nobody).  These directories are:
shadow/, tmp/, gpg/, and attachments/.  Please do not make the
directories world-writable unless you have to; if at all possible, chown
them as the web user, ie:

  # cd anthill/html 
  # chown apache.apache shadow tmp gpg attachments

2) Upgrading (0.2.3 -> 0.2.4)

You can now put include/ anywhere you want; preferably outside of the
public html tree.  This means that config.inc.php *must* be modified as
$_CONF['incdir'] is a full path now, not a relative one.  0.2.4 has also
had some filesystem relocation to make things more secure (not exposing
as much to visitors).  Upgrading from 0.2.3 (and earlier) to 0.2.4
blindly *will* break your setup.

Always check anthill/etc to see if there are new SQL upgrade scripts to
use to upgrade your database.

3) Read README.html

This is the Anthill documentation (as it currently stands).  You will
need to read it.  Before requesting any support, make sure you've read
it, particularly the requirements section.
