Installing LinkBidScript Version 1.2
In the latest version 1.2 of LinkBidScript software there are new features were introduced that may get you confused during installation.
Script will start checking for banned domains and IP’s as soon as it is uploaded to your server. You may get an error messages about the table that doesn’t exist…
To avoid any problems please follow this EXACT order when installing new LinkBidScript version on your remote server.
1. Download ZIP archive and extract it locally on your computer.
2. Create new database and login to phpMyAdmin. If you are using existing database you can login to phpMyAdmin for that database and drop existing tables.
3. From phpMyAdmin for this new or cleaned database execute SQL query to import lbs.sql file that came with the script - this will create all necessary tables and populate initial data into it.
4. In the “To_Upload/Connections” folder open file apound.php and insert actual info for accessing your new database, save file.
5. Find and open .htaccess file from the “To_Upload” folder. Right after the line:
RewriteEngine on
insert this line:
RewriteBase /
If you are installing LinkBidScript in the subfolder insted of “/” write the name of your subfolder after the forward slash. For example: /linkbid
This step may not be necessary for some servers if you are installing LinkBidScript in the Root directory.
6. Upload ALL files and folders from the “To_Upload” folder to your remote server.
(files and folders from the “To_Upload” folder, not the folder itself…)
7. Login to your new LBS admin panel: yourdomain.com/lbs_installation_folder/linkadmin/index.php . You must type index.php in the end or .htaccess file will redirect you to an error page.
Default userName and password included with the download package.
In the admin panel click on the “Site Configuration” link - this will take you to General Directory Setup page. Enter your info in all required fields.
IMPORTANT!
- In the field “Path” leave “/” if directory is installed in the root folder or change it to “/subfolder_name/” if installed in the subfolder.
- Leave field “Path mail” empty.
8. That’s it! You are ready to make some money!
Now your directory is installed and should work properly.
I will describe how to use admin panel in details in another post
