[edit] Installation

To be able to install successfully you need a webserver with:

  • PHP >= version 4
  • the GD Library
  • a MySQL Database with a user login

After you have unpacked the files in the archive to your installation path, point your browser to the install (i.e. http://kb.example.com/kb/install ) folder and follow the steps provided.

You need to set some special rights on some of the folders:

  • cache needs to be world writable (mode 777 on unix - "chmod -R 777 cache" will do this)

[edit] Loading Kills from other Killboards

  • Go to the admin page for your killboard
  • Select Feed Syndication from the list of sections.
  • Enter the url of the feed you wish to use. This will usually be http://boardurl/?a=feed
  • Setting API verified only will only retrieve kills that came from the CCP API.
