Installation using FTP

Having shell access on the server is the easiest way to install Saurus CMS, but if you
have only FTP access, follow the instructions below:

1. On your desktop computer: unzip the downloaded Full Installation package
file. The website folder will be created.

2. Use binary mode (not ascii mode!) for file transfer and upload created folder
to your website server using FTP.

3. Using FTP program set temporary read & write permission for everybody (666)
for following files:

config.php
config-old.php

4. Run the web-based installation script http://www.yoursite.com/install.php.

In case of web hosting you probably have received your MySQL account information from your hosting company. During the installation you will be asked for database's name, username and password.

Troubleshooting: If you have trouble with the installation (e.g. if install.php
displayes a blank page), then run script check_requirements.php in install/
folder. This script will check if your server has all the necessary server
requirements fulfilled.

5. Delete install.php file and install/ folder from your website folder.

6. Using FTP program change file permissions back to normal: read & write to
owner, read to everybody (644) for files:

config.php
config-old.php

7. Your website is now installed and accessible on URL http://www.yoursite.com/

8. Be sure that the following upload directories have write permissions for the
web server:

public/ - files   used for content management
shared/ -   files used for content management
classes/smarty/cache/ - Saurus API templates cache
classes/smarty/templates/ - Saurus API templates 
classes/smarty/templates_c/ - Saurus API compiled templates code
