Call this database whatever you would like. We recommend you use 'cps' to simplify things. 2) The SQL system structure must be loaded. Execute the SQL dump located in templates/database.sql. You can execute this by using your MySQL DB manager your web host has installed. More often then not your host will use PHPMyAdmin. 3) Edit the config.cgi file to reflect your preferences and settings. 4) Upload both the CPS_V4 and ixed directories to your server in BINARY MODE. THE PHP FILES WILL NOT WORK UNLESS UPLOADED IN BINARY MODE!! 5) Run the check_configuration.php file from your browser to ensure the system is setup properly. You must fix any configuration errors that are reported to make sure the system functions properly. 6) Login to the admin area and update your database records by clicking on the "update" link on the left. Check the Country IP record box so that your database is populated with the latest IP to Country records from our server. 7) Add the cron jobs. We have given an example below: 1 1 * * * wget http://www.yoursite.com/cps_directory/cron/stats_tracker/generate_reports.php */5 * * * * wget http://www.yoursite.com/cps_directory/cron/stats_tracker/generate_visitors_today.php 0 1 * * * wget http://www.yoursite.com/cps_directory/cron/search_engine_ranking/check_daily_rankings.php 8) Start adding clients from the admin area. Then login to the client area using the username/passwords you have created to ensure the system is functioning properly.
