How to Install
BP_PROJECT has a 1 minute installation procedure.
- First is first; Open install.php in an editor (notepad is just fine) and edit the variables below;
$servername
$dbusername
$dbpassword
After that, pull install.php from the web. This should create the databases if all information you entered is correct. If an error occurs, the system will display the error.
Open admin>database.php and edit the database settings there with the same information you entered for the settings above.
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","root", "");
mysql_select_db("bp_project", $db);
?>
- Secondly, you should edit config.php for those variables below;
$servername
$dbusername
$dbpassword
$domain
$yourdomain
$votelimit
$projecttitle
//Project name (for the name that will show up at the top of your project page)
$projectname='Blank Page Project';
- Delete install.php from the server and pull index.php of BP_PROJECT from the web and be sure that it is all working just fine.
- Once you open index.php file in your editor, you will see those lines below.
include 'bookmark.php';
include 'search.php';
include 'addsuggestion.php';
include 'suggestionbydate.php';
include 'suggestionbyvotes.php';
include 'todo.php';
If you don't want to display any of those features, simply delete the line or put // in front of the line as shown below;
//include 'todo.php';
- For your admin settings, the default admin user and password is admin/admin. You can change this by editing the variables below in config.php under admin folder.
$Admin
$AdminPass
That is all.
