How to install

Learn how to install!

  • Upload all the files in the winn_guestbook folder
  • Create a database with PLESK, CPANEL, etc.
  • Open “conf_only.php” with a text editor, edit ($HOST_w, $USER_w, $PASS_w, $DATAB_w)
  • $HOST_w is the host, most hosts will use (localhost) you may need to contact your hosting provider for more information if you do not know
  • $USER_w is the database user name that you just setup
  • $PASS_w is the password that goes with the username
  • $DATAB_w is the database name
//connect to db
$HOST_w = "localhost"; // <--- 99% chance you will not need to change this
$USER_w = "USERNAME"; // <--- DB Username
$PASS_w = "PASSWORD"; // <--- DB Password
$DATAB_w = "DATABASE NAME"; // <--- The Database name

Upload (conf_only.php) to the data folder; once you have done that you can now open your browser and go to http://yourdomain.tld/your dir/install.php. Follow the steps given. Click “Install,” then click “Next Step”. Set your admin username and password.

NOTE: Be sure to DELETE (install.php), (install_launch.php), (install_done.php), (install_data.php), as there are major security issues if they are kept on your server after you have installed. After install, you may login with your login and password you have just set by going to (/your dir/admin/).
