--------------------------------------
Beacon Cache (Core 2)
--------------------------------------
Tested with PHP 5.2.9.
Recommended to run with the short tag '<?' configuration off.
PHP 5.2+ is highly recommended.
--------------------------------------
How to Install / Configure Automatically:
	- Open installer.php in your web browser.
		- Make sure you have part.txt for the initial install!
		- gwc.php will be created and will be the web application's file.
		- Delete installer.php when you're done, as it's not needed anymore after the install.
How To Configure Manually:
	- You must configure the settings within the gwc.php file.
		- within the settings class (should be at the top of the file).
--------------------------------------
For MySQL Users:
	- MySQL 5+ server recommended.
	- Have not tested on MySQL 4.X system, but it could work when 'mysql' (not 'mysqli') is used.
	- Please create the database for the cache in the dba server with the name specified at install.
	- Tables are generated automatically for you.
		- If you see initial ERROR lnes, these are normal (Should disappear after initial browsing of the web front).
			- These error lines are table creation after 'not found' type instance.
	- Persistent DBA Connection
		- Only the 'mysql' option has such (Option appears to have lost support in mysqli).
			- Useful to prevent too many connections being opened at once.
			- Though 'mysql' uses more archaic MySQL dba handling (So attempt 'mysqli' if you can).
		- If you're using 'mysqli', then try to raise the max. connections limit if you can.
			- Should not be a problem in 'mysqli' unless serious load is inbound into Beacon Cache.
--------------------------------------
WARNING: Make sure the part.txt file has been deleted after configuring / installing!
--------------------------------------
---Important!---
You need to seed your cache to other caches available for it to be known!
	- Seed your cache and other caches with your cache's URL by using the URL submits.
		- Submit by opening Beacon Cache, clicking on a network name, then submitting another cache's URL by the URL submission on the bottom.
--------------------------------------
For updating to a newer version, while using the existing settings:
	- If you installed Beacon Cache II through the intaller system.
		- Browse to the file update.php.
			- The file should either give a warning or say you are now updated.
				- The file keep_for_updates.php needs to exist for the updater to work.
					- A file that was generated by the last installation.
	- May not work if the update cannot be run due to compatibility problems.
		- An error will tell you if true.
