Installation

Installation instructions

  1. Unpack the package
  2. Upload folders and files to your server. You may upload it to the root directory or to any subdirectory
  3. Directories: 'languages/', 'users_content/', 'system/cache/' and 'system/view/smarty/templates_c/' directories and all their subdirectories and files must have 777 CHMOD attributes on your server
  4. Create new MySQL database on the server. Usually it may be done via control panel on your hosting.
  5. Open 'system/config/database.php' file with a text editor and set your database settings. (lines 40-43)
  6. Open 'system/config/config.php' file with a text editor and set your paths settings. (lines 14, 366, 367)
  7. Go to 'http://mysite/' – this will run installation. You must get the list of accomplished operations and 'Install process completed!' final message
  8. Login as root user and manage 'System settings', 'Modules list' and 'Web services settings'
  9. Manage users groups permissions

Note 1: $config['base_url'] variable must contain actual http url to the script, if it is installed into subdirectory - base url will be like 'http://example.com/subdirectory/', the same rule with users content paths (lines 366, 367):

$config['users_content_server_path'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/subdirectory/users_content/';

$config['users_content_http_path'] = 'http://example.com/subdirectory/users_content/';


 Note 2: in the case that you can't upload images in your admin panel  (like site logo or listings images), try to play with this variable:
$config['users_content_server_path'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/users_content/';
or
$config['users_content_server_path'] = '/' . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/users_content/';
or
$config['users_content_server_path'] = '/users_content/';
or
$config['users_content_server_path'] =
'users_content/';


Note 3: If your server runs PHP in CGI or FAST-CGI mode, then in 'system/config/config.php' file change 26 line:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";
