= Installation Instructions

First off, check out your configuration settings;
  I have given a sample database.yml for mysql
  It sets up a tester and developer database, with 
  empty passwords for convienience.
  This works well with the db:create rake task.
First, create the database.
  rake db:create
    This sets up your databases from the configuration file.
    It creates SQL code, and then asks for your mysql root password.

  rake db:migrate


This is ready for any developer, but nothing else:

Migrations fail at step 036:
  (items. table doesn't exist)
  this must be a change to the model page? )

You will need to prepare your machine.
in Debian, the following packages are to be loaded
libgraphicsmagick-dev


When setup, the opening URL gives 404 OOOPS not found.

Until Mocha is corrected, you'll need to remove the:
 require 'test_help'

line from Mocha's init.rb file.  This is causing lots of problems, and is
referenced in the "SslRequirements plugin and mocha" thread on the Mocha
mailing list:
