Installation

Installation

1. - first create a database in utf8 encoding. Comparison in encoding: utf8_general_ci.

2. - upload to your server all the files from the /www/ folder of the distribution.

IMPORTANT! Files should be uploaded in BINARY(IMAGE) mode. The mode is configured in your FTP manager. Do not use built-in file managers in the hosting control panel. Use FTP managers FileZilla, FlashFXP, Total Commander

3. - run the installer: http://yourdomain.com/install/index.php yourdomain.com change to the name of your domain.

For repeated installations, delete the file install.lock from the file/cache/ directory and again replace the files on your server with files from the distribution: /install/index. php and index.html from the root directory.

4. - follow the installer’s instructions until the installation is complete.

5. - after installing the database connection to the file: dbvucmsconf.inc.php set read-only permissions. See section: Settings - Security


Admin Login

When installing, enter the real administrator's email. Otherwise, if you change your IP, you will not be able to log in to the admin panel.

See section: Settings - Security

Be sure to reliably protect the admin area after installation. Install Htpasswd on the admin file. See section: Training - Htpasswd to admin file


Installation and reinstallation - directory rights

Overwrite rights (CHMOD) - usually 700 or 777. Others may be possible, depending on your server settings. Check with your hosting provider.

Overwrite permissions are checked during installation. Perhaps your server is configured in such a way that you do not need to change CHMOD.

All of the following directories must be writable: file/backup/ file/cache/ and all the directories in it. file/email/ file/log/ file/md5/ file/mobile/ file/script/ file/session/ file/temp/ file/update/ file/upload/ file/user/ All other directories are default. Leave as is. All of the following files must be writable: index.html - only during installation and reinstallation. dbvucmsconf.inc.php - only during installation and reinstallation. Then change the permissions to read-only. vucmsconf.inc.php sitemaps.xml monitor.xml install/index.php - only during installation and reinstallation.

Possible errors due to the inability to read files and/or directories.

Errors may vary. For example, JS scripts do not work.

In this case, open the configuration file: vucmsconf.inc.php

If you are not sure, check with your hosting provider what rights (CHMOD) to rewrite are required on your server.


Initial settings. Mandatory!

Once the installation is complete, log into the admin panel and follow these steps:

1) Refresh the cache: Settings - Caching - Refresh all cache

2) Configure access rights for user groups: Users - User Groups. Update the settings of each group: Users - User Groups - Edit - Submit

3) Set up the necessary payment cards and disable unnecessary ones. If necessary, set up courses.

4) Add categories in each of the information modules and, if necessary, configure the configuration of each module.

5) See section: Where to begin
