gCards 1.1x Setup Instructions
----------------------------------
New Install
-------------
1. Create a database to hold the gCards database tables
2. Open config.php and change the settings to reflect your database connection properties and your desired gCards options
3. FTP all of the files in the gCards directory to your web server
4. Browse to setup.php (i.e.
http://www.host.com/gcards/setup.php) - this will setup the database tables and give you further instructions
5. CHMOD the images folder to 777 if the script could not automatically do it
6. Delete setup.php or CHMOD it to 000 so that it cannot be accessed
7. Login to the Administration Console with the username: admin password: admin
8. Change the admin password for security purposes
9. Add categories and cards in the Administration Console
10. Browse to index.php to view your site!
Upgrade
---------
1. Save a copy of the config.php that is currently on your server
2. Change the new config.php to reflect the values in your old config.php
3. Upload the files to your server, overwriting the existing files. You don't need to upload the directories in the inc directory (htmlarea and adodb) because they haven't changed. If you get an error trying to overwrite setup.php you will have to CHMOD it so you can overwrite it.
4. Run setup.php and choose to upgrade the script. This will create new tables and modify existing ones.
5. Delete setup.php or CHMOD it to 000 so that it cannot be accessed
6. Done!
DONE!
