Installation:
Please read this page carefully as it contains important information about getting your software installed correctly. I have tried
to make the install procedure as easy as possible, but if you require assistance, please post on the support forum:
Server Requirements:
• A server running 'PHP v5.0' or higher with MOD_SECURITY disabled.
• ZipArchive Class enabled for un-zipping functions.
• Simple XML functions enabled for XML parsing.
• Javascript enabled browser for keyword ad popups.
• A 'MySQL' database to hold the script tables.
• Flash installed to view the flash graphs.
Set Up (Auto Installer):
1 => Create a database to hold the script tables. If you are unsure of this procedure contact your web hosting company.
2 => Open up the 'inc/config.php' file in a good text editor and complete the options provided. Refer to the comments for information. You should NOT change the values on the left. An example for the admin username/password might be:
define('USERNAME', 'joebloggs');
define('PASSWORD', 'ads123');
3 => Using FTP software, upload all the files/folders into a directory on your web server. Example: ads/
4 => The following folder requires read/write permissions. 0777 on Linux:
admin/marketplace/
If your server accepts 755, then you should choose this as its known to be more secure.
For those unsure, Chmoding files means setting relevant permissions on your server. Its short for 'Change Mode'. For example, having directories writeable by default would be
very insecure, so you have to specify this manually. You can usually set permissions in your FTP program or in your server control panel. If you are
unsure, please post on the support forum, or contact your hosting provider.
5 => Access the 'install/index.php' file in your browser and follow the set up instructions to complete installation.
Note that if you see an access denied message at this point, the connection information you have specified is incorrect
as the script cannot connect to your database. Check and try again.
6 => If the setup was successful, test the system is working ok by accessing the demo file in the software BEFORE you add or remove any ads in the admin panel:
http://www.example.com/ads/demo.html (where 'example.com' is your own domain)
Hover your cursor over the double underlined example words. If your the demo doesn`t work for you, check your config file and try again. You might also want to try the full urls in the demo.
7 => If the demo works, see the Code Setup page for information on how to get the code working on your own pages.
Set Up (Advanced):
Manual setup is for advanced users. Execute the schematic file at 'docs/schematic/tables.sql' in your database.
