blogkomm : how to install blogkomm

Uploading

Imagine you have a weblog at the root of "http://my-domain.com/blog.php".
Take your ftp-client and upload the whole directory "blogkomm" into your blog-root-directory.

So you will have the required files in "http://my-domain.com/blogkomm/"

Tip: Rename the "blogkomm"-directory to whatever you like before running the setup. This can prevent comments-spam scripts from accessing your installation.

Point your browser to "http://my-domain.com/blogkomm/setup/"

Follow 3 Steps.

If you want to run blogkomm in a manual driven blog or on other systems than blogger, you just change the value in <? $blog_id="<$BlogItemNumber$>"; with the according Post ID.

The result will look like this with the same installation:
