   - mysql username 
   - mysql password 
   - mysql database name
   - the table you want created in your database
   - the email address that will get notified of new posts (depending on your server configuration, this may not work)
   - the url for the administrative page. this is put in the email.
   - whether posts should require admin approval
2. Edit gbook-header.txt and gbook-footer.txt to give look/feel to the display page
3. Edit guestbook_count.txt to show how many entries to display per guestbook page
4. Maybe you'll want to use the provided stylesheet with modifications.
5. Create a directory named guestbook on your server accessible at http://<server>/guestbook/
6. Upload the guestbook files into the guestbook directory. Keep them in the same structure as they have in the zip file, specifically, with there being an admin directory under guestbook like http://<server>/guestbook/admin. In that directory will be:
   - .htaccess
   - .htpasswd
   - create-htaccess.php
   - create_tables.php
   - guestbookadmin.php
   - index.html
7. Change the permissions to 777 for the admin directory and on these three files within it: .htacces, .htpasswd, index.html.
8. Browse to http://<server>/guestbook/admin to first create password protection (automatic), then click the link at the bottom of the page to proceed. You will then have a page showing your database settings. Click the link there to create your database tables.
9. Browse to http://<server>/guestbook to test a posting.
