Seditio is a framework, it's a set of PHP files that reads and stores datas in a MySQL database, and sends those datas to clients as HTML pages, through skin files (also called "templates").
The key features are :
Apache is the most well known and recommended, but any other serious HTTP server should work.
Seditio should work with most of older 4.x PHP version, but if your host still have such a rusted thing, please consider the move to a more "up-to-date" server.
Any version younger than 2 years should be enough.
But recent version of MySQL are recommended.
... the most common is phpMyAdmin.
There's no auto-installer in Seditio on purpose, this to force you to have a basic knowledge of such a tool.
If you're planning to run a PHP/MySQL website without a database manager, expect troubles.
Required, if you're lacking this, please consider the reading of HTML tutorials before running a website.
If you're able to open a file with a text editor, and then able to put few values at the right place without messing the rest of the file, it's fine, you can consider yourself as enough-PHP-experienced-for-Seditio.

Download and extract the latest version from www.neocrome.net (and here only ! Any other distribution is illegal).
Open the file datas/config.php, and fill up parameters about your MySQL database.
Do not change settings that you do not understand yet !
Please notice that most of the request for technical support are caused by erroneous settings or typos in this area. So if get an error message saying that Seditio or PHP cannot connect to the database, first check that the host name, database name, user name and password are ok. If you have a doubt, ask your hosting provider for the correct values.
Seditio can manage an unlimited count of skins (HTML layouts), but one is usually enough.
The default skin is set in /datas/config.php, by default it's "manta".
The one named "manta_intl" looks exactly the the same, with extra support for a full localization, you can delete the folder /skins/manta_intl/ if your site is in english.
Do not upload the folder /docs, its not required by the engine.
'CHMOD 777' folders (to allow files writing, do this with your FTP client) :
/datas/defaultav/
/datas/avatars/
/datas/photos/
/datas/signatures/
/datas/thumbs/
/datas/tmp/
/datas/users/
Open a MySQL remote manager (PHPmyAdmin is the most famous).
Select your database, then in the tab 'SQL' create tables with the SQL script : docs/seditio-createnew-100.sql
(With the button 'Browse', point to the location of the file on your computer, then run the script with 'Go')
Open your home URL with a browser, select 'login', then 'register', to create your account, and once done, log-in.
Note that the first user to register is automatically activated and assigned the group "Administrators".
Not working ?
Bad luck, so restart from the beginning and follow the steps carefully, and if after this second try the result is the same, head for the forums, there's several pinned topics about common pitfalls, issues and troubleshooting. Please put your website in your profile there, so the helpers can see the problem "live".
