{{{Installing b2evolution from scratch}}}

{{{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 b2evolution distribution:}}}

  1. {{{On your server, create or locate a mysql database for b2evolution. (For example, you can call it "b2evolution")}}}

    {{{Note:}}} {{{Unless you changed the config, all tables created by b2evolution are prefixed with evo_ . Unless you already have an application using the same prefix, this makes it safe to install b2evolution in a database shared with other applications. Your existing tables will not be affected in any way.}}}
  2. {{{Upload the b2evolution files to your website.}}}

    {{{Note:}}} {{{Only the contents of the /blogs directory need to be uploaded to your site. If you want b2evolution 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.}}}

    {{{Let's assume you install the contents of the blogs folder to http://yoursite.com/yourfolder ...}}}
  3. {{{Run the installation script on your server. It is located in http://yoursite.com/yourfolder/install . Then, simply follow the on screen instructions.

    The installer will ask you a few questions, create required database tables and configure b2evolution 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).}}}
