Now that everything is uploaded to your domain, we will now proceed to the second step of the operation which will include setting up all your files that will integrate with your websites domain name, template file, and email addresses.

Wow... that first step was easy..
Now you will find that this section will be even easier than the last. If you are not currently on the www.yourdomainname.com/setup.php go there now ( Oh by the way when I reffer to yourdomainname.com, I am reffering your actual website domain.).
Ok, now heres the meat and potatoes of the operation, and although this section may be a breeze, everything has to be entered to exact preciseness. So lets begin!
You should have adequate instructions on the setup file, so at this point you can just follow the onscreen instruction on the setup file. You will find that many things here are presetup including your database prefix, the homepage url, the template file, some email addresses and the subject line of the sites emails. Of these, it is imperative that your the homepage url has the www in its address so that it looks like www.yourdomainname.com rather than yourdomainname.com. (If its the latter, then change your address bar to www.yourdomainname.com/setup.php).
Again be sure to configure everything on the page correctly, as you will have to start from the beggining of step 2 if you make any errors.
After you have completed this whole thing, lets leave the setup.php file on the server until such time that we have tested the site and are happy with its setup.
If you have finished this step with success, you can now proceed to Step 3 - Setting Up The Layout Of Your Custom Website Design. |
