Purpose:

This is a guide for setting up of Athena SQL servers with a dynamic-content PHP forums (phpBB) as the main web site and a front-end to Athena database (ROCP) as a sub-web.

Data used in this guide are fictitious and solely for demonstration purpose. Definitions and details can be found in Glossary and Examples.

How to proceed:

You are about to begin a major project. Preparation is therefore as important as work in progress and finishing. First, check whether you have all required components and tools. The Hosting Requirements guide will be a good place to start.

An overview of implementation of this server project can be found in Quick Reference. If you prefer, that can act as your progress check list.
