Hi
hgupta1982,
To decompress the file, first go to your
cPanel –> Files -> File Manager.
Select the source file and click Extract
When the
Extract window pops, change destination to
/public_html
Then click on
Extract Files(s) button.
After a few seconds, you will see the Extraction Results. Close the Results window.
Notice that all your files ended up on a new folder called
ojs-2.2.3/
This next step in not mandatory, but I would rename the
ojs-2.2.3/ directory to something like
cms/ (You can do this by selecting the folder and click Rename in the upper menu)
Now this is important:
you need to create a new database before you proceed with the installation.
Go back to your cPanel and use the
MySQL Database Wizard
This wizard has 3 steps where you will create the database
name,
username/password, and give all
privileges to this user. Copy all this information because you will need it during the installation process. Please notice that to the names of the database and user you create, your cpanelUserName plus an underscore gets added as a prefix. So the names to use during installation will be those names with underscore.
Now, open a new window or tab in your browser (Firefox or IE) and go to your home page (
http://www.researchtimes.pcriot.com/) and since you do not have an index file (.html or php) you will see the Index of / page.
Click to open
ojs-2.2.3/ or
cms/ or whatever name you used if you renamed the folder.
And there you go! You will see the installation page. Read it carefully, and complete the database information with the credentials created above.
Uncheck the create new database box, since you have already have done that, and the script will not be able to create a new database anyway (it can only be done by cPanel)
Good luck!
