J-Board Install Guide
Unpack and Upload J-Board
Download the J-Board zip file from the 'your orders' section of the main Kitchen 2.0 web site. Unpack the zip to your PC and upload the files to your web site.
The files can go in the root folder of your web site or a directory you make within it.
Change File Permissions
To install J-Board you need to change the file permissions on one file database_include.php
You need to CHMOD database_include.php to 777. You can usually do this by right clicking on the file in your FTP client and selecting 'file attributes'
Get Your Licence Key and Create the Database
To install J-Board you will need to get your licence key from the Kitchen 2.0 site. You can do that here.
Then create your MySQL database and keep a note of the database name, password and username.
The J-Board Installer
Next browse to the install.php file on your web site.
Installer Step 1
The first step of the installer process chacks to make sure database_include.php is chmod to 777. If it is it will show you in green, if not the line will be red and you need to adjust before continuing.
Installer Step 2
When you hit step two you will see a form to enter your MySQL database details and your licence key.
This information is written to database_include.php and the licence key you enter is checked against our licence server to ensure it is correct. The licence server will send you an email to verify the check was successful, if it was.
Once complete hit the continue button.
Installer Step 3
If all went well in step 2 you will now ask for a few more details.
The page tries to pre-fill the path and URL of your install. Sometimes this may not work so ensure the URL and path are correct.
The URL should be the full URL including http:// and with a trailing slash, so something like http://kitchentwo.com/
The path should be the absolute path, you can get this from your web host and will probably look something like this /home/username/public_html or /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs
Do not put a trailing slash on the path.
Once complete hit the continue button, the installer will then create the MySQL tables in your database.
Installer Step 4
At step 4 you will see the results of the table creation, if all went well it will look something like this.
Important: Don't forget to delete the install.php file and chmod database_include.php back to 644.
Now you can login to your J-Board install by browsing to yoursite.com and use the email address and password you added earlier.
