hldStart v1.2.1
  *****Server requirements - Must be Linux/Unix with PHP 4.x with socket support (usually is default) running Apache.  Does not yet work on Win32. 
1) Download the zip file from www.gamehound.net/~hldstart/
2) Unpack the zip file to your web directory (unzip hldstart-vx.x.x.zip)
3) Open config.php and change the config values to meet your needs.  The config.php file is well documented.
4) Make sure Half-Life and it's mod games are properly installed (refer to http://server.counter-strike.net for help)
5) Change permissions on your Half life directory. From a command shell, execute:  
	chmod -R a+x  /path/to/hlds
6) You must give apache rights to execute hlds files.  The easiest way is to change ownership to apache (or webserver user).
        Execute this:
        chown -R apache /path/to/hlds
	chgrp -R apache /path/to/hlds
7) If you don't want to change ownership of the hlds files, do this:
   7a) Add the web server's user account (ie apache) to the group that has owns your hlds directory and files
   7b) If you're not sure of which group owns your hlds directory, create a group called "gamers".  
   7c) chgrp -R gamers /path/to/hlds
   7d) Add apache to the gamers group (refer to system manuals)
   7e) If you have problems with editing mapcycle files, you might want to give ownership of those files to the webserver
8) Point your web browser to http://yourserver/hldstart/index.php and enter your username and password from config.php
9) Fill in the forms, and submit the form.  Your server should start in a minute.  
10) If it looks like it is running, but returns an error, you could have permissions wrong.  If apache doesn't 
     have rights to start the server, the script will just hang, until it reaches php's max time limit (60 seconds)
    If you put the wrong path to your hlds directory, it will still try to run, I have not built in any checks for this yet. 
11) Mapcycle Admin relies on the config.php file, so there is no extra setup for it, other than making sure the web server has write access to each mapcycle.txt
  11a)Mapcycle admin has an html help file link, check that for more details on it's usage
12) If you have a problem, visit www.gamehound.net/~hldstart/forum/ and ask questions there.  I will try my best to help you out.

Thanks to the "Mad Coder" for his mad query class.  It is utilized in this application.

***Warning***
While there is a login page, hldStart is not highly secure.  There are no known vulnerabilities at this time.  
The best way to lock it down is by using .htaccess.  This actually locks down permissions on the folder that hldStart
lives in.  

Thanks for using hldStart! Your support at this early time is very helpful.  I plan on adding many feature to this 
application, and I value your input and feature requests.
