If you have a web service with the characteristics described in
"How do You need", for the istallation
of Webmatic it is necessary to complete the follow steps (if you
have already installed Webmatic and you want to update it see "Updating"):
1) Extract and copy files:
First extract all the file from "webmatic_xxx.zip"
archive and using FTP, or other system, to put all extract files
in your website root.
2) Execute the setup:
After go with your browser to your website url and a setup will
be displayed. You can change the setup language any time by click
on a flag. The setup help you to install and configure Webmatic.
The setup will check if your server its good to install webmatic
or there are some parameters to fix.
In the first step you must to fix all the errors and you can continue
the setup (you can continue also if all the warnings are not fixed,
you can fix later the warnings but some functions will not work),
see picture 1.

3) Setup database:
When you fixed all server errors (and warnings) click on "Next"
and a database parameters form will be displayed.
Now you can insert the mysql database parameters to configure it.
We suppose that our provider give to us the followings parameters
to access the mysql database:
| Database server name |
"mysql.server" |
| Database user name |
"database_user" |
| Database password |
"password" |
| Database name |
"database_name" |
Choose the database prefix you want (the database prefix its useful
when you want to use more then one copy of Webmatic in the same
database).
Now insert in the form the required parameters and click on "Next"
(see picture 2).
WARNING: Webmatic need at least MySQL version 4.1.0, if you
have a version prior to 4.1.0 the setup will not continue.

4) Setup superuser:
Now you can configure the superuser (main website administrator)
filling the field in the superurser setup form (see picture 3) and
click "Save" to complete the setup.

5) Admin your website:
If setup its complete correctly your website home page will appear,
from here you can go to administration area and start to manage
your website with Webmatic. To go in administrator area you can
click in the link "admin" or put in your browser the follow
url (we suppose that your site are named www.yoursite.com):
| www.yoursite.com/index.php?stage=2 |
A login form will appear, in it you can enter the superuser login
and password (see picture 4), when you click on "Login",
if the login and password are correct the administration area will
appear (see picture 5).
For more details see control panel section.

6) Disable the setup:
Now you have correctly installed and configured Webmatic and you
do not need the setup more, so you must disable the setup (you must
disable the setup for security reasons and because Webmatic run
with more speed if setup its disabled).
To disable the setup you must edit the file "index.php"
and changing the line:
| $webmatic3 = new webmatic3(WM3_cSETUP_ON,WM3_cWARNING_OFF,WM3_cDEBUG_OFF,'*'); |
in:
| $webmatic3 = new webmatic3(WM3_cSETUP_OFF,WM3_cWARNING_OFF,WM3_cDEBUG_OFF,'*'); |
then save the edited file in your website folder (overwrite the
old "index.php" file).
