StoreStacker Installation Instructions:


1. Unzip your install.zip file.



2. Upload all of the unzipped files to your host. You can upload to a fresh domain, a domain's folder or a subdomain.

*****Please note, all .php files *must* be uploaded in Binary mode (check your ftp client to enable it).

Also, please read our system requirements here - http://www.halfagain.com/system-requirements.  Your server must have Zend Optimizer (free) installed.  Most hosts will already have it.  If, on the off chance yours does not, it can be easily installed by your system administrator.



3. After your upload is complete, chmod the file .htaccess and ./common folder to 777.



4. Navigate in your web browser to the location you uploaded your files. 
(If you uploaded to a folder like www.yourdomain.com/store/, put this location in your web browser).



5. Enter your order ID number and mysql database information in the forms.  Click to finish.



Very important notes!

- After the install, please proceed to the "Plugins" tab of your admin area and set up plugin options. You *must* fill all the affiliate system IDs and settings prior to filling up your shop. All fields must be filled for each plugin. 
- If you want to change the addresses (category urls or product urls) please go to the Preferences of your admin area and scroll to the bottom - you will find addressing options there.

A few general notes about your templates...

- In your templates you will find {$tokens} in brackets like {...}. Please make sure you copy-paste them and they look correct all the time (avoid having {$value or {value}) - otherwise your shop will result in an empty white page.
- Templates are built using the Smarty engine - if you plan on extensive templates modifications please read docs (http://www.smarty.net) or try finding someone who knows the engine and html.  You will find some basic template editing instructions in our video tutorials (http://storestacker.com/videos.html).
