Please contact your host directly if you are unsure if your server
supports any of these.


Installation

1. Unzip the .zip files

2. create /upload folder in your /www folder.
Set /upload folder to 777, this folder will held all uploaded picture from
user

2. Edit common/dbase.config.inc.php and
admin/common/dbase.config.inc.php with mysql database, username
and password

3. Import mysql database

4. Access admin with username: admin and password: admin at

Database Creation
The GURU STARTUPS COMMUNITY 2.0 script requires that a MySQL database be
created so that data can be stored for use with the script itself. This section explains
the procedure to create the database.
It is assumed that you already have a web host and access to hosting administration
like cPanel, Plesk, etc. We will be using cPanel for the purposes of this lesson as it is
commonly installed on Linux servers.
To create a database, perform the following steps:
   1. Log into cPanel as the user for the domain that your script will be hosted with.
       This is accomplished by going to http://domain.com/cpanel and replacing
       domain.com with your domain name. Then, enter your hosting username and
       password given to you by your hosting company.
   2. Once you are logged in scroll down the page to Databases and click the MYSQL
       Database Wizard icon. This is where we create the actual database. Enter
       your database name in the “New Database:” field.




   3. If you plan on having more than one database the name should be descriptive
       to help keep everything organized. For example, for a database used for
       ecommerce you might name it ecomm. CPanel will add a prefix of your main
       hosting username and password so your final database name may end up
       looking like this: username_ecomm.



User Creation
After successfully creating the database, you need to add a user who can access and
modify the database. To create a user and add the user to the database, perform the
following steps:
   1. Enter the username you wish to use for the database
   2. Enter a password or generate a password with the Generate Password
       function.




   3. Click the Create User button.
   4. In the Add User To Database section, select the user from the User drop-
       down list
   5. In the Add User To Database section, select the database name from the
       Database drop-down list
   6. Click the Add button. The user is added to the selected database.



Access Privileges Management
After adding the user to the database, you can give the access privileges to the user
so that the user can actually work with the database. To give the access privileges to
the user, perform the following steps:
   1. Select the ALL PRIVELEGES check box or appropriate check boxes according
       to the requirement.




   2. Click the Make Changes button to finish.
