If you have any questions about which of the options listed below best suits your needs, please visit the Etomite Forums now. It is much easier to help you before you get into trouble.

NOTE: If you will be performing a New installation you must first rename or copy manager/includes/config.php to manager/includes/config.inc.php and change permissions to writable before proceeding.

Step 4 : New Installation Setup

NOTE: If you are upgrading an existing installation of Etomite, please click your Back button and select Upgrade an existing installation.

Etomite setup has carried out a number of checks to see if everything's ready to start the setup.

Checking PHP version: OK!
Checking if sessions are properly configured: OK!
Checking if assets/cache directory exists: OK!
Checking if assets/cache directory is writable: OK!
Checking if assets/images directory exists: OK!
Checking if assets/images directory is writable: OK!
Checking if assets/export directory exists: OK!

Please enter the name of the database you've created for Etomite. If you haven't created
a database yet, Etomite will attempt to do so for you, but this may fail depending on the
MySQL setup your host uses.

Now you'll need to enter some details for the main Etomite administrator account.
You can fill in your own name here, and a password you're not likely to forget.
You'll need these to log into Etomite once setup is complete.

Step 5 : The above is a summary of the GNU General Public License. By proceeding, you are agreeing to the GNU General Public Licence, not the above. The above is simply a summary of the GNU General Public Licence, and it's accuracy is not guaranteed. It is strongly recommended you read the GNU General Public License in full before proceeding, which can also be found in the LICENCE file distributed with Etomite.

Step 6 : Etomite setup will now attempt to setup the database

Creating connection to the database: OK!

Selecting database `etomite`: OK!

Checking table prefix `etomite_`: OK!

Importing default site: OK!

Writing configuration file: OK!

Installation was successful! You can now log into the Etomite manager. First thing you need to do is to update and save the Etomite configuration. Etomite will ask you to do so once you've logged in.

Please make sure you CHMOD the config.inc.php file so it is not writeable by anyone other than yourself... Also, don't forget to remove the installer folder, as it is no longer needed.

Step 7 : Please enter your login credentials to start your Etomite session. Your username and password are case-sensitive, so please enter them carefully!

Step 8 : This your etomite portal looks like. Enjoy using etomite cms.
