Installation on Shared Hosting

We'll use cPanel in this guide, but the steps should be similar for other hosting managers.

1. Create your domain or subdomain in your shared hosting

After you have created that, you will be able to access the file manager for that domain or subdomain

Delete any default files that are maybe added.

2. Create a database

Create an empty database in your shared hosting and remember this credentials

• db name

• db username

• db password

3. Upload the source code that you have downloaded from CodeCanyon and unzip it

4. Navigate to the web url where your project is located

ex. mydomain.com or subdomain.mydomain.com

The installation screen should appear and guide you in the process.

As an admin, you can change all settings in Site Settings after logging in.

Remember to set up SMTP or you'll encounter an error 500 on the registration page.
