Installation

From PDF Directory Wiki

  1. Download PDF Directory from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfdirectory/
  2. Extract files to desired location on the web server.
  3. Create a database in MySQL. The default name is pdfdirectory. You can use any name as long as you modify the includes/config.php file.
  4. Populate the database by executing the script sql/pdfdirectory.sql. This creates the tables and a default logon of: admin admin for username and password. See MySQL documentation for details if you are unfamiliar with this process.
  5. Modify includes/config.php. Database options default to no user/password. You will want to change this. Refer to MySQL documentation. Default page setup and language selection is also done here. See comments in this file for details.
  6. Set write permission for the directories "temp" and "pages"(including subdirectories).

You should now be able to logon with the default admin logon of admin/admin.

  • If you are upgrading from a previous version, check the directory /updates to see if there is a php or sql script that applies to your version change. If you skip a version, check for any scripts that apply for versions after that which you are upgrading from.
  • If you wish to create your own language file put it in the languages directory and call it yourlanguage.inc. Modify the config file to read $CFG_LANG = 'yourlanguage'; without the .inc. Language files in this directory also appear as a selection automatically so you can also select this from within the application.
