Installation Steps

1. Upload files to your web server document root (e.g. public_html/).
2. Create a MySQL database and a user with full privileges on it.
3. Open your browser and navigate to your domain — the XOOPS installer starts automatically.
4. Follow the 5-step wizard — it configures paths, creates tables, and sets up your admin account.
5. Delete the install/ folder when prompted. This is mandatory for security.

Verify the Installation

After setup, visit:

• Front page: https://yourdomain.com/
• Admin panel: https://yourdomain.com/xoops_data/ (path you chose during install)
