Requirements:
- A webserver with php 5 or higher (If you're curious about what version you have, run the tester.php script which comes with this release)
- ionCube Loader is required by PHP
- CURL must be installed and be compiled into PHP
- Php GD Library
- Php register_globals = off
- MySQL
- Sendmail or Smtp installed on the server
If you are unsure whether your hosting meets these requirements, please contact your hosting company for confirmation.
Installation:
- Unzip the distribution of the script. To do this you will need an unzipping utility.
- Copy your license file (eg_license.php) to script folder
- Using your favorite FTP client or webhosting control panel file manager, upload all files to root folder of your website. Depending on your hosting, it may be named "public_html", "www", "mainwebsite_html", "htdocs" or something like that.
- Browse to http://www.yourdomain.com/install/index.php
- Follow Web Based Setup script instructions;
If the setup script requires, the following folders must be made writeable by the script:
* config_inc.php
* uploads/banners/
* uploads/files/
* uploads/images/
* uploads/photos/
* uploads/pictures/
This usually means CHMOD to permissions 707, 770 or 777. Which one will depend on your server configuration. Try 707, if you get an error in the installation procedure you can change it to 777. Please do chmod only if the setup script requires.
- Once you get "Setup Finished" screen:
* delete install folder in public_html for security
* go to Admin control panel (http://www.yourdomain.com/admin/) to set all parameters
