==== CLEAN INSTALL ====
    
This documentation is for installing Aigaion 2.5 from scratch, with an empty database
    
    1)  Copy the Aigaion 2.5 files from the www folder to <WEBROOT>/<aigaion2_rootdir>/
    2)  Create a new MySQL database '<db_aigaion2>', with an appropriate user. The database is empty.
    3)  Unpack <WEBROOT>/<aigaion2_rootdir>/install/install.zip into the directory 
        <WEBROOT>/<aigaion2_rootdir>/install/
    4)  make a directory where attachments will be stored, and make it writable. By default, 
        Aigaion expects this directory to be <WEBROOT>/<aigaion2_rootdir>/attachments
    5)  Point your browser to http://<server>/<aigaion2_rootdir>/install/install.php
    6) Install will create a new <aigaion2_rootdir>index.php with specific information
    7) One may want to adjust php.ini to allow upload of big files

    From there on, follow the instructions on the screen.
