Installation Guide

  1. Unzip and copy the scripts package contents into your hosting server.
  2. Manually create a database (most likely, using “PhpMyAdmin” or from “MySQL Databases” menu of your cPanel).
  3. Add a Database User (with all permissions) to the new database.
  4. Find the database file (kb_simple.sql) located directly in the folder “_DB_FILE” of the package (KB Simple script) you downloaded.
  5. Import the database file (kb_simple.sql) to your newly created database (most likely, using “PhpMyAdmin”).
  6. Open the database config file located at “application” >> “config” >> “database.php” and edit the database connection details to match your database details. 
    • Change ‘root’ to your database username.
    • Change ‘pass’ to your database user password.
    • Change ‘dbname’ to the name of the database you created and imported the sql file to.
    • If required, change ‘localhost’ to your database hostname (It remains localhost in most cases).
    • Save the file once done editing.
  7. From any web browser, run/load the path to the base location of the scripts (e.g. http://yourserver.com/ OR http://yourserver.com/yourscriptsfolder/, if you copied to another level of folder).
  8. Now the website front-end is loaded. You might want to do some Site settings first.
  9. Click ‘Sign In’ on the Website Footer Menu and then log on with the default Admin details (username: admin, password: admin).
