How are you guys? i hope to be alright
This installation guide helped me alot when i was stuck into mambo installation , ok let's start
(1) Get the latest STABLE version of mambo ,e.g. you can find it here http://www.mamboportal.com/
(2) Use your FTP Client to upload everything in this folder to your web server.
(3) This step must be done now , Use your my SQL database to create a new database (name it whatever you want) , then add a user name to this database,this could be done directly from Cpanel
(4)After creating database , refer your web browser to mambo directory on your server just like http://www.mysite.com/mambo (where) mambo is the name of mambo folder
(5) you should now see this messege
watch out for RED items because you'll have to change CHMOD for every item of them
By default , they should be
configuration.php Unwriteable
administrator/backups/Unwriteable
administrator/components/Unwriteable
administrator/modules/Unwriteable
administrator/templates/Unwriteable
cache/Unwriteable
components/Unwriteable
images/Unwriteable
images/banners/Unwriteable
images/stories/Unwriteable
language/Unwriteable
mambots/Unwriteable
mambots/content/Unwriteable
mambots/search/Unwriteable
media/Unwriteable
modules/Unwriteable
templates/Unwriteable
using your ftp client , **** properties for every item and the nchange CHMOD for it like the following
administrator/backups/Unwriteable chmod R 707
administrator/components/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
administrator/modules/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
administrator/templates/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
cache/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
components/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
images/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
images/banners/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
images/stories/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
language/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
mambots/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
media/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
modules/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
templates/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
configuration.php 777
mambots/content/Unwriteable chmod -R 777
mambots/search/Unwriteable chmod -R 777
wait , don't refresh your browser now look
yes, make a blank php file , name it configuration and upload to mambo directory on server finally change its CHMOD to 777The tricky thing you may encounter is that you do not see configuration.php but configuration.php-dist in your mambo directory. Do not rename or copy configuration.php-dist to configuration.php. Instead, you should make or upload a blank configuration.php file without anything in it and change its permission to 777.
(6) OK you shall refresh your browser window now to see :
Everything seems be OK, **** NEXT button above then
just the license agreement , check I Accept GPL license and then NEXT
(7) You'll start giving some info about your database , this section is so important
Write your database info like
Host name : should be localhost or like written in Cpanel
MySql user name : user name you added to database
MySql password : the password for user name
MySql database name : Name of database you created before installation
MySql table prefix : don't touch this part and leave it as it's
for a clean installation check the last box only
(8) The hardest part has gone , now some information which can be edited lated
then
note for password you given , It's recommended to change it
(9) finally , here you are the login details
**** Adminstration and use indo to log on your adminstration panel
BUT YOU HAVE TO DELETE INSTALLATION FOLDER FROM MAMBO DIRECTORY FIRST
GOOD LUCK by creating your own site.
