download calpp_1.0.0.tar.gz from
<http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/calpp/projdisplay.php>

INSTALLATION:

STEP 1: Installing the PHP source files

copy  calpp_1.0.0.tar.gz to  the  DocumentRoot directory  of your  web
server and extract the files.

# gunzip calpp_1.0.0.tar.gz 
# tar -xvf calpp_1.0.0.tar

The source  files of  calpp are installed  in the  src/base directory.
You  should edit  the src/base/calpp_config.inc  file to  reflect your
server settings.

# cd calpp_1.0.0/src/base

Now, edit the calpp_config.inc file to suit your server settings.

The  calpp_config.inc  file  details  the parameters  required  to  be
furnished by you.  You must give the correct particulars to be able to
login.

After   making  the   required   changes,  create   a   link  to   the
calpp_config.inc in the /usr/local/lib/php dirctory as follows:

# sln ./calpp_config.inc /usr/local/lib/php/calpp_config.inc

You can check if the  config particulars work by pointing your browser
to src/test/calpp_config.inc.php

Step 2: Creating the calpp database:

# createdb calpp 
# createuser calpp

The calpp  database is  built from the  calpp_pg_database file  in the
src/data directory

# cd ../data psql -e calpp < calpp_pg_database


Now, point  your browser to  index.html in the installed  directory to
get started.

Login using username calpp and password 20030815

REQUIRED:

To use CALPP, your system should be running the following packages:

PostgreSQL 7.3.2 
PHP 4.3.1 
Apache 1.3.20 or equivalent

CALPP  may run  on web  servers other  than Apache,  but has  not been
tested.

USING CALPP:

Some sample data has been provided for development use.

No real legal procedures have been included in this version.

Try starting  from the Index.   Browse through each index  group.  For
example, try using  the address index in Contacts  index group.  Add a
few new  contacts.  Try creating a  new index for contacts  based on a
new grouping to suit your need.

Two test  procedures have  been included, and  are available  from the
Proceedings link.

1: Hello World!  No explanation is needed.

2: Test Procedure:
   This presents a very brief introduction to proceedings.

Try creating a procedure of your own, and run it as a proceeding.

A more elaborate help is underway, and until then, this should help.
