Installation

1. Download and extract the Fokiz Content Managment System.

2. Ensure that you have access to a MySQL instance on the server where Fokiz will reside and create a database to contain the system.

3. Open the file /config.php in the root of the extracted files and edit the following lines to connect to the database you setup in step 2:

  define("DB_HOST", "MYSQL_HOST");
  define("DB_USER", "USERNAME");
  define("DB_PASS", "PASSWORD");
  define("DB_NAME", "DATABASE_NAME");

If you're installing in any directory besides a root directory modify line 34 to contain the path (relative to the webroot with leading and trailing slashes). You will also want to update the RewriteBase line in /.htaccess to match.

4. Upload the contents of Fokiz to the web-root where the files will reside.

5. Modify permissions on the following files and folders to ensure that they can be written to:

  /assets
  /sitemap.xml
  /rss.xml

If you have suPHP installed this will not need to be done. If you're not sure, simply skip to the next step, the installer will detect if the necessary permissions are in place.

6. Use your web browser to navigate to the web-root of the server. Fokiz will detect that the system needs to be installed and walk you through the rest.
