 If you follow the instructions precisely, your installation or upgrade will be a smooth one

 We recommend backing up your website before installing any script
 Create new MySQL Database
 Unzip the download file
 In the db_params.php file enter your information from your MySQL database:
 dbHost (localhost, database URL/connection string, "mysql" or IP Address)
 dbName (database name)
 dbUser (database username)
 dbPass (database password)
 Open an FTP connection to your server
 To set up your site as a Directory only, upload all files to your server's public_html, docs or htdocs directory. 
 On hosts like RegisterMyWWW.com or GoDaddy.com, upload to the root of the site where you plan to install the Script
 If you are installing the script in a Subfolder (www.YourSite.com/Subfolder), assign 755 permissions to it now (chmod 755 YourSubfolderName/) and upload all files there
 In your browser type in http://www.YourDomain.com/install.php OR http://www.YourDomain.com/SubFolder/install.php
 Follow the instructions on the screen
 Create your Admin Username, Password and your Email
 Next, click on Admin Area link and log in to Admin
 On your Server:
 Assign 777 permissions to backup directory (chmod 777 backup/)
 Assign 777 permissions to cache directory (chmod 777 cache/)
 Assign 777 permissions to logos directory (chmod 777 logos/) (Pro Version Only)
 Assign 777 permissions to logs directory (chmod 777 logs/)
 Assign 666 permissions to sitemap.xml.gz (chmod 666 sitemap.xml.gz)
 Assign 666 permissions to users_online.txt (chmod 666 users_online.txt) (Pro Version Only)
 Immediately, delete install.php from from your server
 DO NOT remove registration_.html or any other files from your server as this would make the script inoperative!
 The .htaccess file (htaccess.txt) makes the Main Menu Items - Search Engine Friendly - even if your Mod Rewrite is off
 Customize the htaccess.txt file (instructions are inside the file) and upload it back to your server
 On your Server: rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess (allows Search Engine friendly URLs for your Categories, Links and the Main Menu Links)
 REMEMBER: On some hosting accounts it'll take up to 1 hour for your Mod Rewrite to start working once you activate your .htaccess file, so be patient!
 You may close your FTP connection now
 If .htaccess file was installed, turn Mod Rewrite on in Admin - Config/Site Settings
 In order for your Directory to function, you must fill out all necessary fields in Config/Site Settings
 Go to Admin/Templates Menu, choose your Template and Activate it
 Set up your Admin functions: Description, Categories, Sub-categories, Payments, Ads, Banner Rotator, Link Types, etc.
 Customize (or remove from index.tpl.php) /templates/YourTemplate the following links and files/pages:

 Files/pages in your Template: (enter YOUR data into the following files or remove if not needed)
 submit_guidelines.tpl.php
 how_to_submit.tpl.php
 privacy_policy.tpl.php
 link_to_us.tpl.php
 about_us.tpl.php
 advertise.tpl.php

 Corresponding Links (to the above files) in index.tpl.php: (update/rename or remove if not needed)
 <li><a href="submit_guidelines.htm">Guidelines &amp; TOS</a></li>
 <li><a href="how_to_submit.htm">How to Submit</a></li>
 <li><a href="privacy_policy.htm">Privacy Policy</a></li>
 <li><a href="link_to_us.htm">Link to Us</a></li>
 <li><a href="about_us.htm">About Us</a></li>
 <li><a href="advertise.htm">Advertise</a></li>

 You may also add as many additional pages as you wish. Name your new file (page) (e.g., mynewpage.tpl.php), enter another line in your index.tpl.php e.g.,
 <li><a href="mynewpage.htm">Name Your New Page Here</a></li> and upload both to /templates/YourTemplate directory
 After creating your Categories and Sub-categories - generate your sitemap in Site/Sitemap and clear cache in Admin/Main
 To access your Admin in the future: http://www.YourDomain.com/admin/ or http://www.YourDomain.com/SubFolder/admin/ or http://SubDomain.YourDomain.com/admin/
 To finish your installation do the following:
 In Admin/Site/Sitemap - click on Generate Sitemap
 In Admin/Main - click on Empty Cache
 In Admin/Main - click on Backup Database
 Log out and enjoy your new qlWebDS Web Directory

 You may close your FTP connection now
 Log in to Admin: http://www.YourDirectory.com/admin/ OR http://www.YourSite.com/YourDirectory/admin/ OR http://YourDirectory.YourSite.com/admin/
