you need apache, mysql and php installed and working
Test your webserver installation with a more mature product to ensure that it works
I recommend phpMyAdmin from phpwizards.net



check config.inc.php3
make sure that dbname, username and password are set ok.

next use the mysqladmin to create a database (matching the dbname)
	mysqladmin -u root -p create lucid

next use the mysqldump.lucid.tables file to build the database and add a couple records
	mysql -u root -p lucid < mysqldump.lucid.tables

Connect to your webserver

If you run into errors, add a line to simple.layout
	<hr>%debugmessages%
That will give you a better idea of where the application failed.

**********************
Note: If you want to enable file uploads, PHP and MySQL are set to 1MB max uploads by default.
To raise the max upload size, you have to modify php3.ini and change upload_max_filesize
You also have to change your MySQL startup:
Something like this should work:
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld -O key_buffer=16M -O sort_buffer=1M -O max_allowed_packet=5M


Someday I'll automate the installation process with a php script.
