installation on a webserver

[sagar]

Hello Folks,

 I am trying to install the web baker on a hosting server from powweb. can you guide me on what i can do to get it up and running there? I have ftp access and ability to make databases(mysql). I have created an empty database called "wb2". How can i define/change the database path and properties so that wb knows during the install that the database to be used is "wb2" and not just "wb"?

 Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 A very very good cms btw Ryan. Great work with all the hours that you have put in in making this software. It Rocks !

If powweb is a hosting comppany its mostlikely that you cant get WebsiteBaker to run. This is becouse your server is motlikely to be shared with other people and permission are going to be problem. Also php is most likely to be in safe_mode (this can be worked around but i wont cover it).

But you can try!

Ok copy all the files to your webspace. Then browse to the installation directory (for example if you uploaded them to "www_root/wb" installation path would be "www_root/wb/install", then follow the instructions

You can set the db name while you install.

I have my site hosted with Powweb too. and got one of my sites running with no problem at all.

Just upload all the WB files in a directory in htdocs
Via Billing/plan set up a mySQL database
Run WB and set the correct information during install (database name, user name, password for the database, no need to set a prefix)
You should check also if safe_mode-off in php ini. When it's not, download the current php.ini from Powweb, change it accordingly (safe_mode=off) and upload it to the directory WB is in.
Here you can find the current php.ini:
http://space.powweb.com/phpinfo.php
You should be up and running

Damn powweb is cheap

Damn powweb is cheap

I pay 12€ per year for my personal hosting and domain
Hosting includes 5Mysql DBs and well pretty much everything i need (oh and no bandwidth quota)

Registering a domain cost around 10euros for the Hosters... so that leaves them with 2euros. I dont get how they do it. But what i know the server is filled with virtual hosts

But powweb looks awsome too. Maybe ill buy a packet from them just to try them. What kind of experiences do you have from them?
