Uploading Hoosk

This is simple to do, theres no need to open any config files in an editor or anything like that!

Once downloaded just unzip and upload everything to the web root folder (public_html, web, www, different servers name this folder differently but its generally one of those)

Installing Hoosk

Once the upload is finished just navigate your browser to http://yourwebsite.com/install Here you will be presented with the form which will create your config file. This needs your website name, address, and database details ( empty database needs to be created first).

When entering your website address make sure not to include the "http://" or the trailing slash "/" for example:

If my website is "http://hoosk.org" then I would only enter "hoosk.org"

When you have entered these click install, and thats it, simple!

Be sure and delete the "/install" directory from your server now

Some Installation Gotchas - Newbie Alert

  1. .htaccess file ( provided in hoosk-master.zip) needs to be copied over to the webroot.
  2. Set "AllowOverride All" in your Apache configuration for the .htaccess to work
  3. Module rewrite needs to be enabled as well for Apache
