The page explains the installation steps for the CP Rentacar System, car rental software.
There are two main ways to start the installation, using a Dreamweaver extension or manually copying the files to your website.
In any case, follow these steps:
The first page of the wizard is just a welcome screen that remembers which data you need to know before starting the process (basically the MySQL connection details):
The second page is just for entering the MySQL connection data. Each page contains hints and instructions about the data requested:
The third page is a confirmation page that checks if the MySQL database connection was correctly made. If there is some problem contacting the database you will see the details and instructions into that page. If all worked fine you will see a page like this one:
The fourth page asks you some basic information: the website title, the main username that you will use to access the admin area, a password for that username and your email address. This information will be saved only into your local database and can be edited later from the admin area:
And finally you have installed the rentacar system. The installer with try to automatically create the config file, if the server allows doing this, you will get a page like this one inviting you to log in to the administration area:
To be able to automatically create the config file, the folder "mmanager/kernel/config/config.inc.php" must have writing permissions. If the permissions don't allow overwriting that file then you will get a page like this one giving you instructions for replacing that file manually:
After completed the installation process you can optionally delete the "installer" folder. Keeping this folder isn't a security breach, but anyway that folder is no longer needed.
