I was also wondering about that when I first installed Midgard a couple of
days ago ;-) Actually, no script has to be executed to make Midgard work.
This is quite logical because all Midgard content comes frome the
database, so why should you need any local files?
Anyway, if you have installed midgard-lib, mod_midgard and midgard-php3
your system is ready to run. However, it won't serve any content from the
database because it doesn't know which virtual host should be fed from the
database. First, you have to set the hostname in the "host" MySQL table to
your virtual host's name (unless you are installing a standalone system.
In this case, the default setting "localhost" willl work). Second, you
have to turn on authentication like this:
<Directory /directory/where/midgard-root.php3/is>
require valid-user
AuthName Midgard
AuthType Basic
</Directory>
This doesn't seem to be very well documented in the installation
instructions (every step is there, but new user's don't really understand
why). The author should probably add a sentence like "Yes, that's really
all. Midgard works now!" ;-)
