**************************************************
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION
**************************************************

    This version is the latest Stable release!

       
    If your web host has disabled running perl in the webroot, you need to manually instruct the Apache web server to handle those extensions as executable scripts.

    Create or edit the .htaccess file in your webroot folder and add the following lines:

    Options +ExecCGI
    AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi

    
**************************************************
INSTALLATION 
**************************************************

    
    1) Create a new directory and upload all files/folders, CHMOD Setup.pl to 755
    Open in a browser https://yourdomain/newfolder/Setup.pl  and follow the instructions on the web page (step 2)

    If you host with PerlHost.nz you can ignore step 2, simply upload your files and go have a rest, every hour our server sets up everything you need, changes owner and permissions, you don't even need to chmod the .pl files, it's all done for you!!!
    
    2) You must CHMOD directories; Variables, Members, Messages, Boards, Backups, Languages & Convert to 775 recursively; index.pl, AdminIndex.pl to 755 & Paths.pm to 664.

    3)  The default administrator username is admin & password is "admin", change the password after reading the README FIRST post in your new forum.

    4)  Remove Setup files when installation is complete from in your Admin for security reasons.
