Installation of ApPHP DataGrid Wizard
A new installation of ApPHP DataGrid Wizard is a very straight forward process:
Warning: It is important that your server is configured to support sessions.
Step 1. Uncompressing downloaded file.
Uncompress the ApPHP DataGrid Wizard script archive. The archive will create a directory called "PHPDGW_XYZ", where XYZ - is a number of current version.
Step 2. Uploading files.
Upload content of this folder (all files and sub-directories it includes) to your document root (public_html, www, httpdocs etc.) using FTP. Pay attention to DON'T use the capital letters in the name of the folder (for Linux users).
For example:
public_html/your_site/php_datagrid_wizard/
Step 3. Creating database.
Using your hosting Control Panel, phpMyAdmin or another tool, create your database and user, and assign that user to the database. Provide the user you created with required permissions to allow the user to read, edit, execute and perform all tasks across all the databases and tables (SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE etc.). Write down the name of the database, username, and password for the site installation procedure.
Step 4. Running install.php file.
Now you can run install.php file. To do this, open a browser and type in Address Bar
http://{www.mydomain.com}/install.php
or
http://{www.mydomain.com}/{datagrid wizard directory}/install.php
Check that you have write access to the config file directory (see EI_CONFIG_FILE_DIRECTORY in
install/settings.inc.php). Follow instructions on the screen. You will be asked to enter: database host,
database name, username and password. Also you need to enter admin username and admin password,
that will be used to logging in to administration area of the site.
Step 5. Deleting installation files.
After successful installation you will get an appropriate message and warning to remove install.php file and install/ directory. For security reasons, please delete them immediately.
