Installation

This page will guide you through the installation of Kreus CMS on to your web server.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, please make sure that your web host supports PHP5, MySQL (or PgSQL or SQLite) database. If you wish to make use of the contact form, make sure that you can send emails via either mail() or Pear::Mail package.

URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) needs to be enabled on the web server.

Database

The database.sql file contains SQL queries that need to be executed on your database server to setup the initial environment. I recommend using SQL Buddy if running MySQL database. Take note of the username, password and database name.

Settings

Unzip the Kreus CMS installation file you downloaded from the homepage to a folder of your choice.

Open the file kreus/application/set­tings.php and edit your database settings with the ones created in the previous step. If Pear::Mail is installed on your server, edit the SMTP settings too. If no settings are provided Kreus CMS will attempt to send emails via mail().

Upload

Upload Kreus CMS to your web server. If everything went correctly you should see the system up and running when visiting the installation directory via your web browser.

Login

Login to the admin interface found in /kreus/admin. Use admin/admin as your login/password and change these immediately via the admin interface.
