Run the installer file through your web browser by entering the URL into your browser address bar (if you have followed our example, type in http://www.domain.com/install/index.php, naturally subsituting 'domain.com' for your web address.)
You will be presented with a short information screen, if you receive the following error "Please grant write permissions to `install/file/` directory...", CHMOD the folder "install/file/" to 0777 via your FTP client.
Once you pass that check you will be able to view your Konsort setup script. This setup will consist of 5 steps.
Please follow each step:
Once you have passed the system checkup continue to the next step.
This step is where you will need to know your SQL username and password at this point. If you do not know it, please ask your web host - in most cases it is different from the FTP log in information.
The form is very straightforward, with only the following points needing closer examination. If you do not know what your mySQL "host" is, try "localhost" (without the quotes). if the SQL server is on the same server as your website (and in most cases it is) this will suffice. If you have created a new database for phpFoX Konsort, or wish to use an existing database, enter the name of the database in the appropriate field.
Under the SQL setup table you will have the Server Configuration table. There you will find where it says "Rewrite engine supported?", this setting is for those who have a server that supports Apache's Rewrite Module. If you are not sure what this is please ask your host or view this guide. In short phpFoX uses this module to allow URL's to be shorter then the default method.
Both methods are fine, though we would advisee turning ON the rewrite engine if you have support for it since search bots seem to like it.
Once you have selected if you want to use the Rewrite engine you will have to fill out basic details for your site. First enter a admin user name you would like, note that you wont be able to change this once your site is up and running. As for the password you can change that at anytime. Last but not least enter your sites title, name and the main contact email for your site. These last settings can be changed at anytime from the admin control panel.
After submitting the form, you will be informed of any errors - if you do get an error similar to "permission denied for user@localhost using password YES" - the chances are you have either your mySQL username, mySQL password or mySQL database name wrong. Consult with your webhost for the correct information and resubmit the form.
Step 4 will list if any errors are found and it will explain what needs to be done to fix the issue.
If no errors come up you will see a button to "START INSTALLATION". Click on that and you should be on your way to install Konsort.
Step 5 is your final step to install your package. This step actually already has phpFoX Konsort completed installed, but we use this area to install any plug-ins that you might want.
<?php
global $_CONF;
$_CONF = array();
$_CONF['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$_CONF['db']['user'] = '%username%';
$_CONF['db']['pass'] = '%password%';
$_CONF['db']['name'] = '%database%';
$_CONF['path'] = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).'/';
$_CONF['domain'] = '%domain%';
$_CONF['host'] = $_CONF['domain'].'/';
$_CONF['http'] = 'http://';
$_CONF['https'] = 'http://';
$_CONF['rewrite_engine'] = false;
$_CONF['path_translated'] = false;
?>
Next if you installed your system with the rewrite engine you will also have to move a file called "htaccess" (without the quotes) and move that to your sites root directory and then you will have to rename that file to ".htaccess" (without the quotes). Note if your site does not have the Rewrite engine mod installed then you can skip this step.
This step can easily be done via your FTP client by dragging and dropping each file into the specified directory.
After you have completed the steps above your installation of the phpFoX Konsort package and plug-ins are now complete. Click on the "Finish" button you have at the bottom of that page for your final "congrats" page.
The first thing you will need to do is remove the /install/ folder from your server.
Congratulations! phpFox 1.5 installation has succesfully been completed!
