The following instructions are for installing Sava Standard on a dedicated server (not a shared environment).

REQUIREMENTS
- Must have Coldfusion or Railo installed
- Access to a MySQL or Microsoft SQL database server and the ability to add a new database
- Ability to add a Datasource to ColdFusion or Railo Administrator

INSTALLATION
1. Put the contents of "sava[version]\www" directory into your webroot. This includes the following directories and files: admin, config, default, fckeditor, requirements, tasks, Application.cfc, contentServer.cfm, index.cfm.

2. Create a database in MS SQL or MySQL named "savaDB" and run the appropriate script (found in /db) against it.

3. Create a Datasource (DSN) named "savaDB" connecting to the database (savaDB) you created in the step above.

4. In \config\setting.ini.cfm set the following required settings:
	
	- dbType (mysql or mssql)
	- dbUsername
	- dbPassword
	- adminemail
	- mailserverip
	- mailserverusername
	- mailserverpassword
	- mailserverfailto

Note: The email settings are not required to get Sava up and running but you may get errors when running Sava if they are not set. These, of course, pertain only to functionality that uses email.
	
5. In your browser go to http://[domain]/admin/ and login.

	- Username: admin
	- Password: admin

6. Select "Edit Current Site" under the "Site Settings" menu located in the top right hand area of your window and update the following settings:

	- Domain
	- Default Contact Email Address
	- Mail Server IP
	- Mail Server Username
	- Mail Server Password

Note: The email settings are not required to get Sava up and running but you may get errors when running Sava if they are not set. These, of course, pertain only to functionality that uses email.

7. On start up Sava will attempt to create a scheduled task to check for event reminders, scheduled emails and to flush cache for scheduled content. If you do not want this task to be created you can changed the Ping attribute in the \config\setting.ini.cfm to 0.

8. You're done installing Sava. Enjoy!

NOTE
If your Web Server/Servlet Container does not support the extension of urls to include query parameters after index.cfm (i.e. http://www.gosava.com/sava/products/index.cfm/widgets), or you simply prefer to use the "go" servlet instead (i.e. http://www.gosava.com/go/sava/products/widgets/), you will need to perform the following steps to enable it:

1. Add the jar files in the sava "lib" directory to your ColdFusion or Railo server's "WEB-INF/lib" directory.

2. Add custom mapping to your ColdFusion or Railo server's web.xml (lib/web-xml.txt)

3. In sava[version number]\www\config\setting.ini.cfm set the stub attribute to /go  

4. Restart the ColdFusion.


TROUBLESHOOTING
If you receive the message "Application Starting. This site is currently loading.", Sava needs to be reloaded by appending "?appreload&override" to the url. For example, http://[domain]/admin/index.cfm?appreload&override
