If you're not into reading check out this installation guide video
Note: After install Microweber will create or modify an .htaccess file in its base folder. It will also create several such files for each script directory denying access to the code.
2. Open your website in a browser (i.e. http://example.com/).
You should see the following screen that allows you to initially setup your Microweber installation.
During installation you have to configure the database connection and create an admin account. This will be the only way to manage your website. The fields you will need to fill are:
Field | Description
--- | ---
Database Hostname | The address of your database server. In the vast majority of cases this will be localhost or 127.0.0.1, but if your hosting provider gave you a different address you must specify it.
Database Username | The username provided by your hosting company for database connection. Some hosting providers allow you to create your own. We don't recommend using the root user in production websites.
Database Password | The database user password
Database Name | The name of your database. It has to already exist on the server or the specified database user has to have privileges to create one.
Table Prefix | In case the database provided is not exclusively dedicated to one Microweber installation you should set a prefix to distinguish your website's data from other data.
Admin Username | Your username of choice for managing your website. We recommend you use your real name or something harder to guess than the default "admin".
Admin E-mail | Please use a valid e-mail. You may need it for password recovery or website notifications.
Admin Password | Please set a password as long and hard to guess as you can come up with. Also make it easy to remember.
Click the Install button and give it about a minute to set up your website.
Once the installation's completed the page will offer you to view your newly created website or go straight to the admin panel.
