-README.SLACKWARE
-================
-
-After installing the package, follow these steps to setup msn-proxy:
-
-1) Edit your configuration files
---------------------------------
-
-You'll need to check:
-- /etc/msn-proxy/msn-proxy.conf
-- /etc/msn-proxy/mysql/conf
-- /etc/msn-proxy/mysql.inc.php
-
-2) Create database & user on your MySQL server
-----------------------------------------------
-
- # mysql -p<your_password>
- mysql> create database `msn-proxy`;
- mysql> grant all privileges on `msn-proxy`.* to `msn-proxy`@localhost
- -> identified by 'secret';
- mysql> flush privileges;
- mysql> quit
-
-Change the password ('secret') and name of the server where msn-proxy will
-run (localhost) as needed.
-
-3) Start msn-proxy first time to create the tables
---------------------------------------------------
-
- # msn-proxy -f /etc/msn-proxy/
-
-msn-proxy will create the tables and exit with an error:
-
- fail to read mysql config (check defaults table)
-
-This is normal and will be solved in the next step.
-
-4) Insert server IP in defaults table
--------------------------------------
-
- # mysql -u msn-proxy -psecret
- mysql> use database `msn-proxy`;
- mysql> insert into defaults (internal_host) values ('<your_ip>');
- mysql> quit
-
-5) Start msn-proxy
-------------------
-
-msn-proxy can be started with:
-
- # msn-proxy -f /etc/msn-proxy &
-
-Put this line in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to always start the service
-when booting.
-
-6) Configuring clients
-----------------------
-
-The clients on your network need to point their MSN to your new proxy.
-You can also do this automatically in your nameserver. If you use dnsmasq
-on Slackware, simply insert this line:
-
- address=/messenger.hotmail.com/<your_ip>
-
-This way all requests to resolve the IP for "messenger.hotmail.com" will be
-answered with the address of your msn-proxy server.
-
-It is also a good idea to block http access to messenger.hotmail.com (and
-some of the alternatives out there) in your proxy or firewall if you want
-to be absolutely sure that all messenger traffic goes through msn-proxy.
-
-7) See the result
------------------
-
-Simply point your browser at http://<your_ip>/msn-proxy/index.php
-
-Now you have the option to either keep this address "secret" or use known
-httpd access control methods to prevent all users to see the result :)
