3. Edit the config.php file located where you unzipped the software to (i.e, server root), and change the database settings in that file. Use the settings for the database you created in step 1.
4. FTP or upload all the files to your server where you want them to be installed.
5. In your web browser, run the web-based installation script located at setup/index.php. For example, if your site was example.com, you would run example.com/setup/index.php. It will guide you through all the steps.
6. Once you have completed the setup script, follow the link on the last page to the admin panel and log into the admin for the first time. The admin user/pass will be set to the default of “admin”, and “geodesic”, respectfully.
