- Open the attached(in Setup Folder) ARTICLE.sql into a text editor (such as notepad or editPlus) and copy and paste all of its content into SQL box. OR you may also upload this database via the upload function in your PHPmyadmin.

- Now your database is full created and ready to use with default categories and admin login.

Prepare Your Files

Prepare Your Files
- Upload all files into Public_html directory on your server using FTP. You must keep the directory structure same. Once uploaded it will looks like this on your FTP.

- Set Chmod permissions on the empty folders backup and admin/backup to 777. This is so your system will be able to write the backup files to this folder.

- Change admin/images to 777 also so your system can save images to this file.

Set General Settings On Admin Panel
- Your site should be up and running now.
- You can login to your admin panel on http://www.yoursite.com/admin and using password admin and login name admin.

Make an extra copy of the ARTICLE.sql file, if you mess anything up just start over by reloading this database.

To re-brand the Your Very Own Article Directory website open it in an HTML editior and change the pink text that says "your name" to what ever your name actually is.

Also add your support email address to the download pages.

There are also some places to edit on each page such as testomionals and a box for you to add any bonus items you wish as well.

Be sure you edit all of the HOT PINK text, leaving any of this test as it is will give your new website an amaturish look, so be sure you do not miss any of the pink editing text!
