Hi
GoDaddy Users:
Here's How to Install Pligg in 20 Simple Steps:
1) Login to your
GoDaddy account & go to your domain's dashboard
2) When you're in your hosting control center, select the "Databases" tab & click the MySQL database icon
3) Create a new MySQL database.
4) Write down the "Host name" because your Pligg setup will request this information later (The Host name looks like this: "databasename.db.7654321.hostedresource.com).
5) Download Pligg 1.0 (if you haven't already)
6) In your
GoDaddy file manager, find the Pligg file called "settings.php.default" and change it to "settings.php."
7) Also, locate the file called "libs/dbconnect.php.default" and change it to "libs/dbconnect.php."
8) The Pligg setup manager will check that it can connect to the database you made in
GoDaddy.
9) If all is well, it will indicate that everything is verified & tell you what to do next.
10) Select install and the language you'll be using.
11) In
GoDaddy, "chmod 755" (change mode to you having full rights and everybody else just having the right to read & execute) the file "admin_backup.php by clicking on the "permissions" tab in File Manager.
12) Indicate that you have the right to read, write & execute the file.
13) Indicate (by checking the appropriate boxes) that everybody else can just read and execute the file.
14) In
GoDaddy, "chmod 777" All Language Files so that everyone, including yourself, can read, write & execute the file.
15) In
GoDaddy, "chmod 666" the libs/dbconnect.php & settings.php files, which means that everyone, including yourself, only has reading & writing permissions for the file.
16) In the Pligg Manager, enter the
GoDaddy host name information as the Pligg "Database Server Info".
17) You should have some kind of indication that the database updated successfully.
18) Setup your Pligg Database info (admin, password, etc.)
19) After successfully installing Pligg, chmod 644 that same libs/dbconnect.php file by going into
GoDaddy File Manager and making your permission (6) to read & write the file, group permission to read the file (4) and user permission to read the file (4). Hence, chmod (change mode) 644.
20) Delete the install directory
...And you're done!
