1. gunzip, untar or unzip the application somewhere your webserver has access to it.
2. (UNIX Only) Change the permissions of the "web/" directory to be writeable by the browser. The "web/" directory is located in the root unpacked directory of PHP Live!.
% chmod o+rwx web
(WINDOWS ONLY) For windows NT/XP, if you get permission errors, make sure the "web/" folder is read/write/execute able by right clicking on the folder and setting the properties.
3. Visit http://www.yourservername.com/phptell/setup/
If you get a strange error like:
> Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function session_start()
You need to upgrade your PHP (stock PHP4 works great)
4. The setup will walk you through an automated, painless Q&A session, finish the questions. DONE!
Having trouble with the generated code not displaying anything?
Make sure you cut & paste the HTML code AS-IS without line-wrapping enabled.
You are all set.
--- if you are FTPing to UNIX, read below permission settings notice ---
if you are FTPing the files to unix server, BE SURE to set the "phptell/web/" directory is READ/WRITE/EXECUTE by all (right click on the "phptell/web/" directory, select 'permissions' or "CHMOD" option, check ALL the checkboxes, and apply changes).

SPECIAL NOTICE TO WINDOWS SYSTEMS:
Windows does not usually have sendmail path. Thus, you must specify the SMTP host in your php.ini file. Locate your php.ini file (usually in your C:\Windows directory) and set your SMTP host, save the file and then restart your web server.
--------------------- end windows SMTP ---------------------
If you would like to change your setup password (after installation), please go to the "super/" directory using your web browser (ex. http://www.yourservername.com/phptell/super/).
