Manual installation

You can follow these instructions if you want to perform a manual installation of PHP Classified Script for your web site.

Pre-installation Steps

Step 1: Database setup

In order to use PHP Classified Scrip, you would need to create a MySQL database and a user with all the necessary priviledges to access the database. Please, check your tutorial on how to create MySQL database and user for more information on that matter. It is adviseable to create the database and the username with the same name in order to avoid any confusion in the future (for example you can choose username_class for both).

Step 2: Upload the installation files

You have to upload the Classified Script installation files to your web hosting account. You can download the latest release from the official Classified Script web site.

The downloaded archive should be extracted locally on your computer. Once this is completed, the files should be uploaded to your web hosting account. In order to do so you can use an FTP client. For detailed information on that matter please check yur FTP tutorial.

Please note that if you would like the Classified Script installation performed for your domain name thus making it accessible at http://www.your-domain.com, the installation files should be uploaded directly under the public_html folder for your account. If you would like the installation perfromed in a sub-folder or for a sub-domain name the files should be uploaded in the corresponding directory located under the public_html folder.For example if you would like the installation performed for: http://www.your-domain.com/classified, the installation files should be uploaded under public_html/classified.
