3. Installation
3.1 Start the installation
Visit your domain at http://DOMAIN/install.php. If you set up Zsite under the secondary directory, you need to add a secondary path to your domain.
3.2 Check modules and directories
Note: If there is any problem with modules or directories, please follow the notice given.
3.3 Configure your database
Note: If you have installed Zsite before, please check "clear database" and then install Zsite again.
3.4 Save your configuration files
Note: Zsite will save configuration files for you. However, thanks to privileges, please manually save your configuration documents to config/my.php. Follow the notice given, if any error caused by privileges.
3.5 Configure an admin account
3.6 Log in Zsite backend
The entry to Zsite backend is http://DOMAIN NAME/admin.php. For security reasons, it is recommended to change the name of www/admin.php and hide the entry to it.
Note: It might happen that you are directed to "Successfully installed" before you set up an admin account, if your PHP session.save_path is a relative address. Please follow the instructions below to fix it.
Open php.ini, find session.save_path and change the path to an absolute address, such as “\tools\xampp\tmp”. The full address will be “D:/tools/xampp/tmp”. Restart your Apache and it should work.
