Geeklog is a preferable Blogger and heres 3 of so many reasons. 1. Clean Code. 2. Speed. 3 Security.
You can find out more about Geeklog at http://www.geeklog.net
Requirements
1. Geeklog 1.3.7sr1
2. Abyss Web Server
3. MySQL
4. phpedit
5. WinZIP
6. PHP 4.3X
First, we'll have to get ready... Its pretty quick. Go into the Abyss Web Server folder
also known in this guide as Abyss-Root and create a folder called scripts... Go into the
new folder and create one called geeklog...
Unpackage Geeklog and dig till you find a list of folders and files (docs, language, etc).
Select everything EXCEPT the public_html folder and copy into Abyss-Root/scripts/geeklog.
Rename public_html to geeklog and copy it to your htdocs folder... You're ready!
1. Create a database in MySQL for Geeklog, "know the DBname, DBuser and DBpassword!".
Please note: if you haven't changed or created a name in MySQL then default to root.
Also, if you haven't created a password you can leave it empty but are you crazy?

2. Edit x:/Abyss-Root/scripts/geeklog/config.php
`````````````````````````````````````````````````
51. $_DB_name = 'DBname';
52. $_DB_user = 'DBuser or root';
53. $_DB_pass = 'DBpassword or empty';
57. $_DB_mysqldump_path = 'x:/yourpathto/mysql/bin/mysqldump.exe';
67. $_CONF['path'] = 'x:/Abyss-Root/scripts/geeklog/';
--
Please Note: The following line caused installs to go haywire before completion.
Completely remove this piece of code "$_CONF['path'] . " on line 73 ONLY!
After Removal!!!
73. $_CONF['path_html'] = 'x:/Abyss-Root/htdocs/geeklog/';
--
88. $_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://ip/geeklog';
90. $_CONF['site_name'] = 'vbgunz';
91. $_CONF['site_slogan'] = 'vbgunz is cool';
92. $_CONF['site_mail'] = 'admin@yourdomain.com';
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
3. Edit x:/Abyss-Root/htdocs/geeklog/lib-common.php
WARNING: DO NOT EDIT WITH DREAMWEAVER! EDIT WITH PHPEDIT OR NOTEPAD!
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
65. require_once( 'x:/Abyss-Root/scripts/geeklog/config.php' );
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````
4. Better safe than sorry, double check the following:
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````
1. Do all paths look good?
2. Lines 67 and 73 in config.php end with a slash?
3. Line 88 doesn't end with a slash?
4. Did you add a port if any on line 88 for your url?
````````````````````````````````````````````````````
5. Go to http://ip/geeklog/admin/install/install.php
````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Path to Geeklog: x:/Abyss-Root/scripts/geeklog
Please Note: Are you getting the warning Register_Globals are off? You'll have to
edit your php.ini and find this line Register_Globals = off and edit to on...
Follow the prompts on the Geeklog install page, I hope everything goes smooth.
Congratulations and good luck 🙂
