NetPhysics deployment 0.5.0 — 20 October 2026 The ZIP root contains index.php, assets/, downloads/, private/, .htaccess and .user.ini. It does not contain a public_html/ or public/ wrapper. Extract the ZIP CONTENTS into the domain document root (called public or public_html by many hosts). Before replacing an existing installation, keep a backup and preserve any live-only mail/configuration settings. Review private/config.php against your host configuration; do not overwrite live secrets with placeholder settings. Use PHP and Apache versions compatible with the existing site and keep private/ blocked from HTTP access. After extracting, open https://netphysics.com/version.txt?build=2026-10-20-r5-measured . It must report Release 0.5.0 and Build 2026-10-20-r5-measured. Open /projects/metabolic-scaling/ and check the 573-species result and new figures. The footer should show 0.5.0. Test navigation and the contact form on the host. If old content persists: verify you extracted into the domain's actual document root, then purge host/CDN page caches and refresh. A local ZIP is not a deployed website. Keep the ZIP outside the public document root after extraction. Do not publish the full deployment ZIP as a research deposit; use the research-only archive in downloads/releases/. No live-host upload, external submission or email was performed in preparing this file.
