Installation
boastMachine installation is guaranteed to be complete in five minutes !
1 ). Extract the package into a directory on your local pc
2 ). Upload the directory to your webserver preserving the file structure
eg: /blog on your site where the .php files and directories come directly under the /blog directory
3 ). Goto yoursite.com/blog/bmc/install.php and enter the details and hit 'Continue' button. The installation script will ask you for the MySQL info and a username and password for the default admin. There'll be three other options
a) Autoset directory permissions ( the script will automatically try to set the necessary file and permissions)
b) Overwrite tables ( Will overwrite the MySQL tables if you already have an installation)
c) Create a new database ( Will try to create a new database with the name you entered)
Done! Thats all! Now you can access the admin by going to http://yoursite.com/blog/bmc/admin.php
The first thing you should do after the installation is to configure your blog by going to Admin - > Settings
PS: The 'Autoset Permission' feature will most probably fail because of the hosting account's ownership problems. In that case, you should set the permissions (CHMOD) by yourself.
/blog/ - 777 (Parent directory)
/blog/backup - 777
/blog/files - 777
/blog/templates - 777
/blog/rss - 777
/blog/bmc/inc/lang - 777
/blog/bmc/inc/vars - 777
/blog/bmc/inc/vars/cache - 777
(assuming that /blog is the parent directory of installation)
Also, if you want to be able to edit the templates online with the template editor, you should CHMOD the appropriate theme directory and all the files in it to 777
Note: Its recommended that you delete the install script (install.php) manually after the installation
