Installation

  1. Extract the .zip file in your local folder
  2. Open config.inc.php in a text editor and modify these variables:

    $SETTING['install_path']
    Absolute path to installation directory without the trailing slash.
    E.g. '/home/username/public_html/faq'
    $SETTING['install_url']
    URL of the path stated above without the trailing slash.
    E.g. 'http://www.domain.com/faq
    $SETTING['sess_timeout']
    Session timeout for administration area (in minutes). Admin login will timeout if there are no activities for this period of time
    $DB['host']
    MySQL database address. Most of the times it's 'localhost'. Use this value if you are unsure.
    $DB['port']
    The default database port is '3306'. Use this value if you are unsure.
    $DB['username']
    Self-explanatory
    $DB['password']
    Self-explanatory
    $DB['dbname']
    Database name. You don't have to create new database to install ODFaq because all tables are prefixed with 'odfaq' so it's unlikely that there will be name conflict.

  3. Upload all files to your server
  4. Create the required tables using file database.sql in sql/ folder. You can use phpMyAdmin to run the file. Create the tables in the database you specify in $DB['dbname'] variable.
  5. Point your browser to http://www.domain.com/faq (or whatever you put in $SETTING['install_url']) to check if everything is OK.
  6. Access admin area from http://www.domain.com/faq/admin and login using the default username.
    Username: admin
    Password: admin
    IMPORTANT: Change your password the first time you login from the 'User' menu on the left side. You can't change the default username or create new user for now.
  7. Start by creating categories and add FAQ to the categories
  8. Read layout.html and css.html for frontend customization, or admin_guide.html for administration guide
  9. Enjoy!
