Getting Started with InkType
Download
The most current version of InkType is available here.
Installing InkType doesn't require a high amount of technical expertise, although it does assume that you have the ability to edit two configuration files and create a database on the web server which InkType will be installed on.
Install Part 1 / 2: The Database
For a fresh install:
- Create a new database.
- Import the InkType SQL install file.
For an upgrade:
- Import the InkType SQL upgrade file.
Install Part 2 / 2: The Files
- Unpack the InkType files.
- Copy the extracted files to your web server.
- Open system/application/config/config.php file with a text editor and configure your base URL.
- Open system/application/config/database.php file with a text editor and configure your database settings.
Log In for the First Time
If using .htaccess to bypass index.php, navigate to the following URL: http://www.your-server.com/admin/admin
Otherwise, navigate to the following URL: http://www.your-server.com/index.php/admin/admin
When you visit your admin panel for the first time, it will ask you for the required information to create your admin account.
That's all there is to it! Navigate to the folder on your web server where you copied the files and you should see your new blog!
