**NOTE** 
MySQL MUST be installed and running prior to running install.sh
After installing MySQL, run install.sh to install RIB.

Thanks for downloading RIB. See http://www.nhse.org/RIB/ for
more information about RIB and to get the latest news.

UNIX version of RIB:
--------------------
After installing RIB you can access the RIB administration
pages at :

  http://hostname:port/top.pl

where "hostname" is the name of the machine where you installed
RIB and "port" is the port number you chose during the installation
of RIB. If you accepted the default port number (80) then you
can omit the ":port" portion of the url.

Other commands :
(these examples assume you have installed RIB at /usr/local/rib)

Start RIB's http server and database :
/usr/local/rib/bin/start-rib

Shut down RIB's http server and database :
/usr/local/rib/bin/stop-rib

After installing RIB you should add an entry to your system
startup and shutdown procedures which starts or stops RIB as
shown in the examples above.

If you want RIB's interoperation scheduler to run automatically
then you need to use cron to set up a job that runs at 15 minute
intervals and executes the following script :

	/usr/local/rib/bin/updateAllInterops.pl

This can probably be done by typing "crontab -e" and inserting the
following line :

0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/local/rib/bin/updateAllInterops.pl

Windows version of RIB
----------------------
When installing RIB a program will be placed in your startup
folder which causes RIB to start automatically when you log
in to your computer (if logins are enabled). Note that this
means that RIB won't be started unless you log in. This also
means that when you log out RIB will be automatically shut
down. The RIB installation process will also add entries to
your Start Menu under "Repository In a Box" for starting and
stopping RIB. To be safe, you should run the latter ("Stop RIB")
before logging out of or shutting down your computer.

After starting RIB, to access the RIB administration pages start
your web browser and go to the url :

  http://localhost:port/cgi-bin/top.pl

where "port" is the port number you chose while installing RIB.
If you accepted the default port number (80) then you don't
need to use the ":port" portion of the URL.

If you want RIB's interoperation scheduler to run automatically
then you need to use the Windows Task Scheduler to create a job
that runs at 15 minute intervals and executes the following program
(assuming you accepted the default installation directory) :

"C:\Program Files\Repository In a Box\bin\updateAllInterops.bat"

Note:
On Windows95/98 the "Start an Update" feature on the
"Interoperations" tab of the RIB administration interface
does not behave correctly. When starting an interoperation
which could take a long period of time to complete, the
server appears to time out. This results from the inability
to detach the update process from the cgi script which
starts it. The update process will be performed correctly
but the error message is misleading.
