Installation
Preparing the database
Login into your phpMyAdmin to create a new database or create it in the way your ISP has provided it. You will need the administrator account later on in your XtConcordia install procedure. Once the database is created you can begin with the actual installation of XtConcordia.
Download the installation files
Download here (https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=147208) the stable release of XtConcordia and save the file on your computer
Unzip / Untar Concordia onto your webserver
If you downloaded the .zip file use Winzip or another unzip program to extract the files necessary for installation. Once extracted, upload all the files to the main folder of your webserver (normally "htdocs"). Your ISP will provide you with the details on how to upload the files correctly.
If you downloaded the .tar.gz file untar the files using your favorite untar program and upload the files to your webserver.
Browse to the Concordia dir
Open your internet browser and browse to the folder you just uploaded the installation files to. If everything went right you should see a file displaying the GNU public licence. If you should edit some settings on your webserver it will be displayed above the licence agreement.
Normally the only thing you should do is make the cms/core directory writeable. It means that it should have the 0777 linux rights to complete the installation. If the message appears that everything is allright you can continue with the installation. Just accept the licence agreement and click continue.
Follow the steps shown in your browser
- Installation type
Make your choice if it's a new installation or an upgrade of a former XtConcordia installation
- Database Settings
Type: "mysql4"
Host: "localhost" if the database is on the same machine as your website (mostly the case). In any other case type the IP address of the machine that hosts your database
Database: "name of your database"
Username: "name of user which you used to create the database"
Password: "password of the above user"
Table Prefix: "The prefix that stands before your tablenames, used to mark which tables are used for XtConcordia". Can come in handy if you have more systems installed in the same database. Click continue.
- Database connection test
A test is performed to see if your database is setup succesfully. If this is not the case, hit the back button and review your settings. If everything is allright, click continue.
- Create configuration file
A file config.php is created which contain your database settings so you never have to type them in again. If your cms/core directory was not writeable you have to create that file manually. Click continue.
- Importing database schema
All the necessary tables are now imported into your database. Click continue.
- Initial settings
An administrator account is now created. You must fill in a password for the account so you can login later to administrate your concordia system. You will be able to login with the email address "admin@site.local". Never forget this password and don't share it with somebody else! Click continue.
- Setting up xtConcordia
Initial data is added into the tables. This will make sure there is something to see after completion. Click continue.
- Finished
Installation and configuration finished! Now you only have to remove the cms/install directory from your system and then click 'click here' to see your new XtConcordia system.
You can now login with the administrator account you created earlier to manage your concordia system or you can register a new user. Only administrators can create pages or add content!
