Installation guide (w/ screenshots)

STEPS:

1. Download www.jobberbase.com ZIP file and unzip it anywhere on your computer.

2. Open your server control panel (this manual uses Cpanel so your panel interface may
differ a bit).

3. Now open phpMyAdmin and import the file __db/jobberbase.sql

4. Open MySQL Databases and create a new database and set privileges. Here the
MySQL Wizard is used.

5. Enter a name for the database.

6. Enter the username and password for the database user.

7. Set privileges for the user for this database.

8. The database, user, and privileges are not set....click Return to Home.
9. Confirm the database and user is set up in MySQL Databases

5. If needed create a folder to hold the Jobberbase files. Right click on www and select
Create Directory, then name the folder
6. Open your FTP software and upload the Jobberbase files. Typically this is the /www
folder. If you created a new directory in the previous step, upload to that folder. There are
500+ files so it will take a few minutes. NOTE: the db folder does NOT need to be
uploaded.

7. In the FTP software, doubleclick right click the app folder. Change the permissions
to 777 for _templates/_cache and jobberbase/uploads
(QUESTION: I’m having trouble with these next two steps. Can you please explain the
process of dealing with the config.php and config.default.php files? When do they
get renamed?)

8. Delete config.php from the server and change the name of the file
config.default.php to config.php
9. Open the (newly named) file config.php and make the following changes

(QUESTION: I want like to highlight the text that needs changing but I’m not sure which
definitions need changing and which do not? In the screenshots I inserted a fake username,
and password but I’m sure where they go below)

a. If you installed Jobberbase on a localhost, change the database information in

RED the following lines:

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'localhost')
{
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', 'root');
define('DB_NAME', 'jobberbase');
define('LOCATION', 'local');
define('ENVIRONMENT', 'dev');
}

b. If you installed jobberbase on an online server (hosting company) change the

following database information in RED here:

// MySQL + misc settings for production environment

else
{
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', 'root');
define('DB_NAME', 'jobberbase');
define('LOCATION', 'online');
define('ENVIRONMENT', 'prod');
}

10. Go to the URL and check the connection.

11. Go to www.jobberbase.com/community and offer suggestions on how to improve this
guide and/or the script itself.
TIPS:

1. Keep your database username and password safe.

2. Do a random act of kindness today.
