| |
| This guide will help you install your Joovili website. It is recommended you read this guide before beginning your installation to ensure you do not run into any problems. If you feel you would rather Joovili install the package for you, please open a support ticket. |
| |
| 1) Unzip your download to your computer. |
| 2) Upload the contents located in the upload/ folder to your web server using a FTP client. |
| 3) Open your chosen browser and go to: www.yoursite.com/install/ |
| 4) Follow the instructions (see below) |
| |
| Step 1 |
| In this step, Joovili will check your folders/file permissions and notify you if any folders/files permission needs to be changed. |
| You can change a file/folder permission through an FTP client or a file manager in your websites control panel. |
| Recommended FTP Client: CoreFTP |
| |
| Step 2 |
| Note: You will need to create a database in your websites control panel before proceeding with this step. |
| In this step you will need to provide your database information. The database information you enter here will be written to your config file so that the installation can create your Joovili tables and run your website after the installation. |
If you are returned with an error message, then the details you have entered may not be correct.
Please try again making sure you have entered your information correctly. |
| |
| Step 3 |
| In this step you will be asked to fill out some basic information about your website. Your websites name, title, website url and email address. |
You can edit this information after the installation if you wish. The only important field in this page is the website url.
If your website URL is inputted incorrectly, then your website may not function correctly. |
| |
| Step 4 |
| Your installation is now complete. You should now see a congratulations message. |
| You are asked to complete two more things in this step. |
| |
| a) Add a URL rewrite to your .htaccess file |
| Open your .htaccess file using a text editor such as notepad and add the instructed code to this file. |
| Don't have a .htaccess file? |
| If you do not have .htaccess file, you can try creating one by opening a text editor such as notepad. Add the rewrite code into this file, save the file naming it .htaccess and upload this file to the directory where you have installed Joovili. |
| If for any reason this does not work or produces an error, first check to make sure you have entered the code correctly. Alternatively you will need to get in contact with your hosting provider to ensure you are allowed to use rewrites in your .htaccess file. |
| |
| b) Remove install/ folder |
| It is very important that you delete the install/ folder after installation. |
