e107 Web System - http://e107.org - DOWNLOAD (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e107/e107_v0617.zip?download) - Space Required: 3.59mb
Features:
-Entire Websystem (News, Forums, Links, Members, etc)
-User Friendly Admin Area
-Many Plugins and Mods (http://e107coderz.org)
-Themes (http://e107themes.org)
How to Install:
1)Download the latest version Here (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e107/e107_v0617.zip?download).
2)Unzip the file, keeping all the files in the appropriate folders.
3)Upload the files onto your webspace.
4)Goto http://www.yoursite.com/*e107 location*/install.php.
5)Pick your user language and Press Next.
6)You will probably come up with an error, depending on your server and sharing rights. You will need to change the rights of the following folders and files to 777 (Using IE's FTP abilities, you can right click on the file/folder and check all the boxes on the bottom row.)
--e107_config.php <-File
--e107_files/cache/ <-Directory
--e107_files/backend/news.txt <-File
--e107_files/public/ <-Directory
--e107_plugins/custom/ <-Directory
7)Now put in your mySQL db information. You will most likely not have to change 'localhost'. Make your table prefix e107_ or something easy to tell what the tables are used for. After pressing Next it will attempt to connect to your db. It will tell you the outcome. If it is successfuly, continue on.
8)Now select a username for the main admin. You can create other admin accounts, but this will be the Main Admin. After you press Next you will be asked to confirm what you just put in. Press next if the info you see is correct.
9)Your whole system should be setup now. The only thing you have left to do is to login. If you got in ok, you can now go to your FTP client and delete install.php because it is a security risk. You might also want to remove the READ/WRITE options for people other then the main account holder for e107_config.php.
Admin Area
When you first login, and go to the Admin Section, you will see many menus to select from. The help files for the admin section should walk you through most of what each menu does. I will give a general run down for each section in alphabetical order.
