{{{Version}}} 3.3.3 Quam Plures

{{{Installing Quam Plures from scratch}}}

{{{To install Quam Plures you need a PHP/MySQL web server (see requirements). Renting a fast server from a reputable hosting company is getting cheaper every day. Check out our recommended hosting offers.}}}

{{{Before you begin, please note that some network features of b2evolution require you to agree our simple Terms of service.}}}

{{{Once you have unzipped the Quam Plures distribution on your local computer:}}}

  1. {{{On your server, try to create a new (empty) MySQL database for Quam Plures (For example, you can call it "quamplures". The exact procedure to create a new database depends on your host/server setup. Alternatively, you can also use an existing database which Quam Plures will share with existing applications.)}}}

    {{{Note:}}} {{{Quam Plures will create about 25 tables in the database you select. Unless you changed the config, all these tables' names will be prefixed with evo_ . Unless you already have an application using the same prefix, this makes it safe to install Quam Plures in a database shared with other applications. Your existing tables will not be affected in any way.}}}
  2. {{{Upload the Quam Plures files to your website.}}}

    {{{Note:}}} {{{Only the contents of the /blogs directory need to be uploaded to your site. If you want Quam Plures to handle the homepage of your site, upload the contents of the /blogs folder to your website root. Otherwise, it's best to upload the files to a subdirectory of your webserver. You can keep the /blogs subdirectory name, but you can also choose another.}}}
  3. {{{Run the installation script on your server. Go to the following address in your web borwser http://yoursite.com/yourfolder/install/index.php (replace yoursite.com and yourfolder depending on where you installed). Then, simply follow the on screen instructions.

    The installer will ask you a few questions, create required database tables and configure Quam Plures for you.}}}
  4. {{{Check to make sure the new installation works.}}}
  5. {{{On production servers, it is recommended that you delete the /install subfolder.}}}
  6. {{{After basic install is done, there are a few tricky things you may need to take care of (online manual).}}}
