A new installation of ApPHP AdminPanel is a very straight forward process:

### Step 1. Uncompressing downloaded file.

Uncompress the ApPHP AdminPanel version 1.x.x script archive. The archive will create a directory called "PHPAP_1xx"

[top]

### Step 2. Uploading files.

Upload content of this folder (all files and directories it includes) to your document root (public_html, www, httpdocs etc.) using FTP. Pay attention to DON'T use the capital letters in the name of the folder (for Linux users).

For example:

    public_html/your_site/php_adminpanel

Rename default.htaccess into .htaccess if you need to add PHP5 handler.

### Step 3. Creating database.

Using your hosting Control Panel, phpMyAdmin or another tool, create your database and user, and assign that user to the database. Write down the name of the database, username, and password for the site installation procedure.

### Step 4. Running install.php file.

Now you can run install.php file. To do this, open a browser and type in Address Bar

    http://{www.mydomain.com}/install.php

or

    http://{www.mydomain.com}/{adminpanel directory}/install.php

Check that you have write access to the config file directory (see $config_file_path in settings.inc.php). Follow instructions on the screen. You will be asked to enter: database host, database name, username and password. Also you need to enter admin username and admin password, that will be used to logging in to administration area of the site.

### Step 5. Deleting installation files.

After successful installation you will get an appropriate message and warning to remove install.php file and install/ directory. For security reasons, please delete them immediately.

Congratulations, you now have ApPHP AdminPanel v1.x.x. installed!
