Installation Considerations

Please note the server requirements before attempting to install MonkeyCMS.

In addition to the web-accessible compontents of MonkeyCMS (the main site and admin area), there are a number of additional features that benefit from being located in an area which is not accessible via the internet (images, cached templates). This should be considered when deciding on where to install the software.

Installing

1. Extract the contents of the monkeycms-1.x.x.zip file to the area on the server you are planning to install it.
2. Locate admincp/dbdetails.php.new and open that within a text editor.
3. Enter the appropriate MySQL connection details for the database you would like MonkeyCMS to use. You can also specify a table prefix which will be added to every table name allowing multiple installations within the same database.
   
4. Save the admincp/dbdetails.php.new file and then rename it to admincp/dbdetails.php
5. In your web browser, browse to: http://www.yourserver.com/yourdirectory/install/install.php
6. Follow the on-screen instructions, populating the fields as instructed
7. If any upgrades are present you will be prompted to install them
