Re: Documenting setting up Maia under Ubuntu (UPDATE: PHP)

Greetings,

In the interest of tying up loose ends, I've worked out all the install
issues I faced here, and while I had forked a branch of 1.0.4 without
scrypt in order to simplify the troubleshooting, naturally I was able to
verify that scrypt was not the problem. So I've had mailguard 1.0.4 running
in a centos 7 container for many weeks now, and now that all the training
and adjustment is done, it's doing an excellent job, nearly perfect at
stopping all spam, with zero false positives.

The rennaissoft 1.0.3 branch is also up and running here on centos 6, and
seems to be working fine as well. The scripts I've been using will install
1.0.3 on centos 6, or 1.0.4 on centos 7 or ubuntu 14.04
