Installation Guide

1. Do It Yourself Installation

Follow these steps in order to install Event Ticketing 5 on your hosting server.

• Download the ZIP file containing your Event Ticketing software from your Client Area. You should have received log in details for your Client Area in the Welcome email we sent you after your purchase. If not, please email us at Support@events-ticketing.com after checking that the Welcome email is not in your email spam folder.
• Extract the ZIP file containing your Event Ticketing software to your Desktop
• Go to the the /version_5_dev/includes folder and open the config.php file using the Notepad application or similar
• Add the License Key that you received in your Welcome email into line number 20 of the config.php file which looks like $GLOBALS['licensekey']=’enter license key’;
  So, for example, if your License Key is 0123453240223120112345 then change $GLOBALS['license']=’enter license key’; to $GLOBALS['license']=’0123453240223120112345′; and then save the file
• Create a new MySQL database in your hosting account (e.g. CPanel) on your server
• Import the db_evt_empty.sql database from the /version_5_dev/db folder into the empty MySQL database you created in the previous step (If you are using CPanel, go to phpMyAdmin > Databases > the name of the database you created in the previous step > Import > Browse your computer)
• Open the /version_5_dev/includes/db_config.php file and enter the following 4 values between the sets of inverted commas there :
  - database host (If you are using CPanel, go to phpMyAdmin and the host name appears near the top right of the main window under MySQL, Server)
  - database name
  - database user
  - database password
  Then save and close the file.
• Upload the version_5_dev folder to the public_html folder on your server and rename it to something cool, like “events-ticketing” : ) You may have to zip the version_5_dev folder, upload it to your server, then unzip it again before renaming.
• Make sure the following folders inside the folder on your server from the previous step have write permissions (i.e. CHMOD 777) :
  /artist_images
  /gf_images
  /images_slider
  /images_users
  /templates_c
  /venue_images
  /venue_maps
  (If you are using CPanel, go to File manager > public_html folder, then simply highlight the appropriate folders, right click them and select Change Permissions in the context menu, then select all the boxes to make sure the Permissions row is all 7s)

And that’s it! Your Event Ticketing website is now ready!
