Installation

 

How do I install CRE Loaded Pro  Version 6.2.08?

Please follow these steps:

1. Dearchive the distribution.
2. Prepare your webserver
• Obtain an appropriate LAMP server and domain name (See software Requirements).
• Assure that the domain names DNS entry is pointed to your new server or use a temporary domain name provided by your host.
• Make sure you have FTP or SCP access to upload files to your webspace.
• Decide on a root (recommended) or subdirectory based install.
• Create the install subdirectory if needed.
• Assure that you have working ID and Passwords for FTP and mySQL and know the hostname for your server (usually your own domain).
• Select an Administration user id and password
• The ID must be a valid email address containing no dots in the username
• The password should be at least 8 characters and contain numeric or special characters
• Upload to your webserver
• Point the upload into either your webroot (for a root install) or:
• the subdirectory you created above for a subdirectory based install.
• Monitor the upload closely.
• FTP may fail to upload all files. Re-upload as needed to get a full and complete copy.
• Run the web based installer
  • Point your web browser to http:// /install/ and run it. Follow the instructions
  • Use FTP, SCP, SSH or your hosts web based file manager to reset permissions until the preinstall file access check tool reports each item to be writeable.
  • If necessary, copy the included configure_dist.php file found in includes/ and admin/includes directories to includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php
  • Enter the selected Administration User ID and Password when prompted.
  • You will be prompted for server information twice. This is not a mistake. It will allow you to set the store up using a mySQL user with limited privileges for security purposes. Do not attempt this on a live store without carefully establishing what mySQL grants are required to run the script on your server.
• Secure your new store
• chmod 444 includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php
• delete the install directory and all contents

How can I uninstall CRE Loaded Pro version 6.2.08?
