How to install Falt4

18.05.2007
Download the newest Falt4 release at sourceforge.net

Unpack the file and upload the content to your webspace (in an accessible directory).

You can find the installer in the directory /install/ (eg. http://your-webspace.tld/path/to/falt4/install/).

If the installer fails to set premissions to some directories you will have to do this by hand (eg chmod -R 655 templates/).

Now you have to create a new database (or reuse an existing) for Falt4.

Enter your database connection settings.

It will take a while for the database to be created. DO NOT abort now.

Now follows some basic Falt4 configuration:
  • Choose a Backend Language
  • Enter the desired administrator name
  • Choose a good password (best in combination with numbers)
  • Enter your email address if you want to get emails from your system
  • Insert the domainname or subdomain which points to this directory (www.your-site.com falt4.yoursite.com)
  • Enter the name of the language you are going to use on your site and pick the appropriate flag

Everything should now be set up correctly.

In order to get the system fully up and running you have to remove the directory /install/ !

Play around with the pre-installed templates or consult our user documentation or bulletin boards.
