Getting Started - Installation

[Sam Sheridan]

1. Upload the contents to your webserver
2. Ensure that the directories tmp, tmp/cache and tmp/templates_c are writeable by your webserver
3. Ensure that the config file configs/main.php is writeable by your webserver
4. Browse to the app location using your browser (ie http://localhost/install)
5. Step through the install script which will add database credentials to your config file and install the database.
6. Browsing to the app location (ie http://localhost) you should see an error message asking you to rename the .htaccess.txt to .htaccess
7. Rename .htaccess.txt to htaccess
8. Remove the install directory
9. Browsing to the app root (http://localhost/) should now be asked to login

If you have not modified the database file (install/db.sql), the login credentials you can use are username: admin with a password of sheridan.

Hi

You would need to create a "configs/main.php" file with the following:

/*
* Enable debug content
/
define('DEVELOPMENT_ENVIRONMENT', false);

/*
* Maintenance Mode - if enable site is only accessible by allowed IP
/
define('MAINTENANCE_MODE', false);

/*
* Select theme to use
/
define('THEME', 'default');
define('THEME_DIR', '/themes/'.THEME.'/');

/*
* Database Connectivity
/

define('DB_HOSTNAME', '127.0.0.1');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'youruser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpass');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'yourdb');
