This Debian package of Memories configures any installed version of
Apache with mod_perl so that Memories is available through the path
/memories/.  This is controlled by /etc/memories/apache.conf.

In order to run Memories you will need to set up a database with the
schema given in /usr/share/memories/memories.sql and grant the
www-data user permission to delete, insert, select and update in all
the tables in that schema.  Currently only MySQL databases are
supported.  You can set up a suitable database with the following
commands in the mysql client:

    mysql> create database memories;
    mysql> use memories
    mysql> source /usr/share/memories/memories.sql
    mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on * to 'www-data';
    mysql> quit

The configuration file for Memories itself is /etc/memories/Config.pm.
You will almost certainly need to change the 'uri_base' and
'data_store_external' parameters in this to match your web site
configuration.  You will also need to change the 'dsn' parameter if
the database name is not 'memories'.
