Installation Notes Version 0.7.1

Post by whacker »

Hi
Thought I would pass along these notes..
This is the second Install for me, and quite honestly was very frustrating like the first time, mainly because of my lack of computer knowledge!

Using Version 0.6.3 previously worked flawlessly , great work Marco

I have this installed on a remote server which has Cpanel X and Phpmyadmin

Create a new DATABASE in MySQL Databases eg.' onlinebook"
Create new USER eg ' tester ' with PASSWORD eg ' testing'
, select all privileges Add USER to DATABASE

So, hopefully you have Phpmyadmin in Cpanel, at bottom of screen, go here and you should see a new DATABASE over towards the top left of the Phpmyadmin screen.
Your new database should appear there in our case
onlinebook (0) Note: Also the userid above the list of Databases..

Great lets go back know to the readme which is included with the Version0.7 download I've noted the following which worked for me

I uploaded all the files onto the server using FTP software and changed the permissions of the DATI folder to 777 (755 didn't work)
Point your browser to the file where the files were uploaded too
eg http://www.mivacation.com/phpresidence
Follow the steps and edit to show the folloing as per this example


Database type: MYSQL
Name of the database to be used: enter ******_onlinebook
Existing database? YES
Name of the computer to connect to: localhost
Number of the port to connect to: 3306
Username for database authentication: ******_tester
Password for database authentication: testing

Everything else as is , you may want to enter a number for the number of apartments...

****** is the userid for your website, which can be found on the Phpmyadmin screen where you verified that the database had been created..
