File Preparation:
Before you upload the files you will need to make changes to the "config.php"
file located in the "sunshop/admin/" directory. Your file should look
something like the one located below:
| Quote: |
<?PHP
// Hostname or ip of server
$servername="localhost";
// Username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="root";
$dbpassword="";
// Name of database
$dbname="sunshop";
// Table prefixes. Do not change the value after the install has been finished!
// $dbprefix="ss_"; // Uncomment this line if this is a new install.
?>
|
Ignoring the lines that begin with "//" edit the variables within the config
file to your correct settings. See below for a list of the variables and their
functions.
$servername: Usually you are fine leaving this at "localhost" but if the
actually MySQL database is located on a different server you will need to
change this to the proper hostname or IP address.
$dbusername: Set this to the username you created or was assigned. If you
set this up yourself through your hosting companies control panel, you will
most likely have to add a prefix to this value.
$dbpassword: Set this to your assigned or created password.
$dbname: Set this to the name of the database you created or was
assigned. This value may also need a prefix as the username above.
$dbprefix: By default this is commented out and not used. You will note the
"//" in front of this value. If you wish to use this, good if you house other
information in the same database, uncomment this line by removing the "//"
before the line.
File Upload:
Once the above procedures have been completed you will need to upload the files
to your server. If you are installing locally, place the files into the proper
directory. To upload simply select the whole unpacked directory and place it on
your server. There is no need to do it file by file, and doing so may alter the
paths and directory structures.
Installing:
After your files have been uploaded, point your browser to your server where you
uploaded the files. You will need to find the admin path and locate the install
file. Example: http://www.yourserver.com/sunshop/admin/install.php
Step 1: Confirm Installation
You will need to read the license agreement and agree in order to continue. If
you are unable to see a submit button at this point you should try re uploading
the install file.
Step 2: License Key
This step will ensure that you have the proper license key file on your computer
as well as check the integrity of the license. If any of the checks fail you will
not be able to continue with the install. If the domain name does not pass you
most likely entered the wrong domain into the system when you generated your key.
If this occurs please contact support so they can reset the key in your client
account.
Step 3: Configuration Check
This step will make sure you have the appropriate settings in the config.php file
and it will make sure it exists. If the settings are not correct edit the config.php
in the admin directory before you attempt to continue.
Step 4: Configuration Check
The script will attempt to connect to the database using the config.php.
Depending on your settings you may get different results at this point. Below is a
list of some results you may get.
"Connection Complete!"
This means the connection has been made, you may proceed.
"You have specified a non existent database. Trying to create one now..."
If the database you specified needs to be created it will attempt to do so. If it
is unable to create the database you will need to make sure you have the permissions
to do so.
"Warning: Access denied for user: ''user@localhost' (Using password: Yes)"
The look of this error may very but this basically means that the username or
password you entered were incorrect. This can also mean that you do not have access
to the database.
"Connection Complete!
The database already exists."
This means the database you are trying to connect to already exists. At this point
you can choose to continue regularly by selecting "Continue To Next Step" or you can
choose to "Continue To Next Step And Reset Tables". If you select the first option
it is a good idea to define a value for the "$dbprefix" in the "config.php" as defined
in the previous section. This way you do not overwrite any data you have in your
database at the present time. If you select the second option, the tables needed will be
erased and recreated. DO NOT select to reset if you have data you need in the database
you defined in your "config.php" file.
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket..."
If you get the above error you must check to make sure that MySQL is running on your
server. If you believe it is make sure you have the proper location to the mysql.sock
defined in your my.conf file.
If you get any other error message and need assistance please contact us.
Step 5: Creating Tables
At this point you should see only one message "Tables set up successfully". If you get
this message continue with the next step.
If you get a message similar to "There seems to be a slight problem with the database..."
view the source of the page to get the exact error message. You will find the error at
the very bottom of the page. You may need to go back and select reset in order to continue.
Step 6: Add Administrator
In this step you will need to set yourself up as the primary operator. You will need to
choose a username, password and email address for the primary account.
Step 7: Setup Successful
Congratulations, you have successfully installed SunShop. At this point be sure
to DELETE the "install.php" file located in the "admin/" directory and "upgrade.php"
file located in the main SunShop directory.
If you receive an error at this point, there was an error sending the email to verify your installation. You can choose to disregard it or you can edit the SMTP value in the PHP.ini to reflect the IP or domain of your SMTP server.
