I’ve had a couple of requests; so here’s a quick writ on installing Rollator from CVS. First, visit the official SourceForge Rollator CVS page.

Decide upon some revision of CVS software for your platform, and familiarize yourself with it. Download Rollator following the instructions above.

Being a -CURRENT revision, ‘tablegen.php’, and the documentation is sparse and outdated. The latest table format is listed in README.TXT – create your tables using that as a guide – or, in the case of MySQL, cuttenpaste™ should work fine – just change the names of the DBs.

Set your paths, your admin username, password, et al.

If you’re using a Windows based host, ensure you escape all backslashes in paths twice (This is normally required for anything PHP with Windows, of course).

It’s been tested under Windows with Apache, PHP 4.3.x, and various different unicen. Pretty much anything that runs PHP and has MySQL or PostgreSQL support built in should work. Enjoy!
