Installation Script

[David]

Currently, we are working on an installation script based on the phpbb install script. It will simplify installation considerably, and make it easier for people who are less familiar with php and mysql.

Yesterday I 've downloaded your program 1.11, today the installation : on your website the install-document stated : upload and follow instructions. Well , may I suggest to mention install by ../install/index.php , without that it's not clear. I started with ../install/install.php and for some reason, the config.php did not receive "the PHPDLink_Installed", so installing needed a second time.

Lucky enough I had an empty database, so install could not frustrate other tables....... May I suggest to change the names of the tables with a prefix, such as linkdir_ + user

As I see with other scripts, the config bears all database inlogdata. I've protected it in my own way, because some robot-engines are able to read php files, probably resulting in an unwanted description on Google.
But wouldn't it be nice, to encrypt it in advance ?

Best regards,
