1.2 Installation Procedure

Please note! If you don't know how or don't want to install the script by yourself you can use our SGW Installation Assistance ( http://www.self-growing-websites.com/sgw-install.php )

As soon as you have downloaded our zip archive with the script, unzip it to your desktop. You can do it with the help of www.winzip.com or www.winace.com

After that, upload the folder “sgw” to the root of your hosting account, using any ftp client (for example http://www.cuteftp.com/ ).

When you open sgw folder on your server, it should look like this:

After that, open up your browser and type in the following:

http://your_domain.com/sgw

where “your_domain.com” is your actual domain name. You should see the following screen:

On the next screen, choose the interface language of your script (currently there are two languages available: English and Russian).

Click “Continue” button.

On the next screen, you will need to specify absolute path to your website, URL of your website and MySQL database information:

Little blue question marks, next to each text field or element of the script will allow you to view additional detailed information.

Absolute path to your website should look like /home/your_username/public_html without closing slash “/” for Unix servers or c:/yourfolder for Windows servers.

Virtual path (URL) is your website's URL.

For example: http://www.your-domain.com

Don't put a closing slash after your URL (“/”)!

Before installing the script you have to have a MySQL database setup on your server so you could specify the following MySQL database information:

DB HOST – usually it's localhost

DB Name - full name of your database

DB Username - user name that has full access privileges to your database.

DB User password – database password for that user.

Database can be created from the cpanel of your hosting account or by installing the WordPress blog (from Fantastico tab of your cpanel)

If you decide to install WordPress blog you can pull MySQL database information from the following wordpress file: wp-config.php
