A. Installation (New installation)
-----------------------------------------
Create a mysql database with ALL priviledge. If you don't know how, contact
your hosting provider.
Extract all files and directories in the zip file to a temporary directory.
Open includes/configs.inc.php and enter the mysql info. There are other settings
you should also look at, save and exit when you are finished.
Upload all the files and folders to your server, keeping the directory
structure intact. You should have 5 folders and a bunch of PHP files, like so:
data
/settings <-- chmod contents to 0777
/logs <-- chmod to 0777
files <--- chmod to 0777
includes
public <--- chmod to 0777
templates
.htaccess <--- edit if you want to disable image hotlinking.
account.php
admin.php
.
.
install.php <-- do not upload this file since you are doing a new installation.
update.php <-- do not upload this file since you are doing a new installation.
.
.
usercp.php
Run install.php which will try to chmod all the directories and files
as well as making sure everything is properly configured. If it fails
to chmod, you will have to do so manually.
There is a directory called "files" where all user files will go into.
If you want to specify a different directory, delete this directory
and create another one (on your server) anywhere you like. The installer will ask
you for the path to the user files directory regardless, but do this
BEFORE running the installer. Remember to use absolute path AND CHMOD
THIS DIRECTORY!!!! (0777, 0755, or 0666 will do)
Similar to the "files" directory, the "public" directory stores
publicly uploaded files. Chmod this directory to 0777 AND copy
the contents of data/publicfiles_htaccess.txt to this directory.
Rename this file to ".htaccess" without the quotes. Edit this
file if you want to disable image hotlinking.
Visit my forums (www.celerondude.com/forums/) for further assistance.
Remember to search before you post. Most of the time your problem
have been answered. Also state the version and any error messages you have.
I ignore any post that sounds like "it doesn't work, how do i fix it?".
B. Upgrade from v6.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upload all php files in the root directory (where index.php, admin.php, etc. are located) and the "includes"
directory to your server and replace existing ones. Look at the version history below for
more specific changes so you'll get a better idea at what to update.
If you've customized the templates, look through the list of changed templates
and only upload those. If you made any changes to the ones listed, you will
probably have to edit them again. If you didn't change any templates, simply
overwrite all template files.
Tips on upgrading:
1. Temporary rename the uploader directory, replace the files, and rename it back.
2. Disable registration before upgrading.
3. If you can shut down apache, do so before upgrading.
C. Upgrade from Beta 1
-----------------------------------------
A converter is available on my website.
The converter will only update to version 6.0. You will have to download
version 6 and then upgrade to this version.

Changed: Bath file uploading does not require the ZIP library.
Added: Mysql optimize tool, run this once a month.
Template changes:
Almost all of the template files have been changed to match the new features. If you have made
extensive modifications to the templates, you will have to do it again. Remember not to intefere
with the javascript files. I don't recommend messing with the templates unless you know what you're
doing. I will not answer questions regarding some template change you made that disables the uploader.
Uploader v6.1
Added: Batch file upload through Zip files. The script will extract
user uploaded Zip files and discard the zip files, saving only the contents.
Your server must have the Zip extension installed, visit http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.zip.php for more information on installtion.
If it's available, you should see a new checkbox on the Upload page that says "Extract Zip files".
Otherwise you won't see it and zip files will be uploaded as normal.
Added: File listing caching. Cache user files list for faster load time.
Added: more admin options (specifically the users section)
Added: more features to emailer
Added: a new template called default2. The old template "default" is also included if you prefer it.
Changed: File locking issue is resolved (hopefully!!). I've tested this new method on a high traffic server and no index corruptions.
Template changes:
Added a new default template called "default2". It's wider and looks better IMO.
