RTK 0.4

RTK (or Ruckus Tool Kit) is an advanced rapid development platform and is especially suited for Web development.

INSTALLATION

Installing RTK is pretty straight forward. Unpack the archive. Next make sure you have perl version 5.8.x installed. Make sure you have the modules listed below installed:

    Date::Format
    MIME::Entity
    DBI
    DBD::yourdatabasedriver

After that make sure you modify conf/rtk.conf as well as conf/db.conf and
possible others. After that, that's it. Hopefully index.cgi `just works'
