Item2533: System.InstallationGuide fixes/updates

InstallationGuide refers to the dropped ClassicSkin at the Client_requirements section, the old ClassicSkin is mentioned. How about update this to PlainSkin?

It also states that HTML 3.2 is supported. Is it still true? Is it still needed?

Wow, that documentation is old. We should probably lay out the requirements for the out-of-the-box configuration:

• The "fallback" skin is not plain (which has no edit/history links); I've never figured out how to address it explicitly, but you get it if you specify a non-existent SKIN, eg. ?skin=asdf.
• This fallback skin actually adds /pub/System/SkinTemplates/base.css and /pub/System/SkinTemplates/default.css, so it seems we need CSS at a minimum.
• CSS demands an HTML 4.01 or greater compliant browser.
• Actually, the fallback skin still uses an XHTML 1.0 DTD in the header, just like PatternSkin; although I'm sure HTML 4.01 would mostly work.
• We also need Javascript and cookies, for strikeone validation.

Other issues:

• There is still a reference to LocalLib.cfg.txt. It should be explained that LocalSite.cfg is generated the first time you run configure, and that it should be re-run whenever you upgrade.
• Also, do we still have the issue that ApacheConfigGenerator redirects 401 Auth Required to the login script by default for the configure script? You don't have a LocalSite.cfg yet and it's actually impossible to access configure in the first place.
• I suppose along with all this we should review the static .html files in the root of the distributed Foswiki package.

The static .html files are generated as part of the build from System.ReleaseHistory, System.ReleaseNotes01x00, System.InstallationGuide, and System.UpgradeGuide. (Anyone making changes should execute the commands used in build.pl to generate them and check the generated output.)

This bug item is old and generic and cannot be actioned further.

Some checkins were made back then. Closing
