Installation:
IMPORTANT 0.9.0 UPGRADE INFORMATION:
The articles-overview.db3 database has changed in this version. It is required to update it before running the site:
1. Disable the cron job (cron.php). and kill all instances of nntp.
2. Fully back up your site.
3. Perform upgrade using provided script (or do it manually if you wish)
4. cd to your $webdir/spoolnews directory.
5. Run 'php $config_dir/scripts/0.9.0-upgrade.php' and wait..........
This will create a new overview database, and it will take a while
based on how many articles on your site.
6. When that is complete, rename or delete 'articles-overview.db3'.
7. Rename '0.9.0-articles-overview.db3' to 'articles-overview.db3'.
8. Restart cron job and wait for things to start running.
NORMAL UPGRADE:
1. Set up your webserver to handle php files
2. Extract rslight into a temporary location
