HOW TO INSTALL
======================
A. Without installation wizard
# UPLOAD
1. Upload all files. Use ASCII mode for all files except all image files (.gif|.jpg) inside 'images' directory using BINARY.
2. Rename config_bak.php file to become config.php
# WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
# CHANGE THE NAME OF THE DIRECTORY CONTAINS .dat and .log file (default is _secret)
3. For security reason, you MUST rename the directory '_secret' to something hard to be guessed.
It will be better if you change default.dat and default.log name (inside '_secret' dir) to something hard too.
example: directory '_secret' becomes '_you_dont_know'
file default.dat becomes what_is.dat
file default.log becomes my_log.log
And then open config.php and find these codes (they are called variables)
$secret_dir = "_secret";
$database = "default.dat";
$log = "default.log";
change them with your new name:
$secret_dir = "_you_dont_know";
$database = "what_is.dat";
$log = "my_log.log";
(please use your own ideas)
# CHANGE THE 3 FILES's PERMISSION TO WRITEABLE
4. CHMOD 666 config.php
5. go to your new secret directory and CHMOD 666 what_is.dat (depend on your new data file's name)
6. and CHMOD 666 my_log.log
# SETTING PASSWORD AND SECRET QUESTION/ANSWER
7. open config.php with text file editor and find this code:
$admin_password = "gshout";
this is your password to login.
change to:
$admin_password = "YourNewPassWord";
8. change this codes:
$secret_question = "Who is the author from this script??";
$secret_answer = "donie";
to:
$secret_question = "What is that?";
$secret_answer = "idontknow";
# CHECKING
9. Run install.php script from you browser, use http://your.site.com/path/to/g-shout/install.php
If you find red text there, it means you still missing that configuration for checking.
10.Delete install.php before using G-Shout and login to Admin Control Panel.

and you can login via http://your.site.com/path/to/g-shout/admin.php
