Install Helper

The Install Helper assists you in installing the Lite or Pro edition. To install do this:

download the zip file
unzip the zip file
make a /phpyellow folder on your web server
upload the zip file from your local machine to your web server into the /phpyellow folder you just created
open your favorite browser and surf to http://yourdomain.com/phpyellow/install/install.html
follow the directions

The Install Helper expects you to have already created an empty database. Ask your internet service provider for a mySQL database if you don't already have one. The Helper automatically sets up database tables and inserts test records.

Permissions

Permissions control access to your website files. phpYellow needs permission changes:

the util.php file needs to allow a script to read & write to it
the /userlogo folder needs to allow a script to read & write to it

name	file or folder	purpose	requires	start value
util.php	file	defines directory wide settings	script read & write	666
userlogo	folder	allows customer images	script read & write	777

What to do if the suggested value gives an error?

Operating systems differ. Values that work on one web server may not work on another web server. If a permission error is found then the best way to resolve the issue is to:

grant full access, CHMOD 777 the file or folder
test to see the new permission effect
increase the security level of CHMOD until you find the permission that gives the most protection and also allows the required purpose/operation.

If you see 'Permission denied' warnings that is your cue to manually set the permissions as above. If you are unsure how to change permissions then you may ask your internet service provider (ISP) how to do so, or refer to the ISP online documentation.
