It is very helpful to have some pieces of information and things setup before you begin your installation.
First Setup your SQL Database.
Many have asked, "How do I do this?" Well for our example we will assume you have a webhost. And with most webhosts you will have some kind of control panel.
Like this -
You will look for something Like MYSQL or Databases.
From there, you should be able to create a new database. (it might say Add Database) Most hosts have a limit to the number of databases. Unless you have many DB's, you should be fine.
You will see something similar to this when you go to add a new database.
Many websites require strong passwords and restrict usernames like admin. Whatever you put down, be sure to write it down as you will need it later.
You can choose almost anything for your database name, I suggest keep it simple.
Choose a username and a password.
Now many have also asked how to find the hostname?
More often than not, you will see your hostname displayed on the page you create the new database.
Like mine
As you can see burningl1.ipowermysql.com is the database host name for my databases. Unless it says localhost or you've seen somewhere on your site that says to use it, it will most likely be something relating to your site. If you are hosting this on your own PC for a dev bed, that would typically use localhost.
Next, you need to upload all your eqdkp-plus files to your site.
FTP programs like WSFTP, or Leap work great for this.
Typically inside the public_html folder. This is just a standard for most webhosts. If you don't know which folder to put them in, there should be help articles and support from your hosting company to find out this information.
Once you have your database created, and all your files uploaded, you are ready to begin the eqdkp-plus installation process.
First we must navigate to the install folder.
Open your browser, and go to something like http://yourdomain.com/eqdkp-plus/install/index.php
You should see this, if you have errors or you don't see this, you are in the wrong place.
Next we will insert our Database information we wrote down from earlier.
Once this information has been entered you should receive a nice green check!
You will also see SQL version checks and you can make sure here that you are compatible.
When you click Proceed you will see more information about the system that is needed to install the database.
Such as Game, Language, domain name. Most of this should fill out correctly for you.
When you are finished changing anything, click Install Database.
Once that is finished, You must create the administrator username and password. I would recommend keeping this separate from any character names you might use in the future.
Once the account is created you will log into your site with the admin account for the first time.
This will redirect you to the Configuration page.
For more asssistance on Configuration see the following EQDKP Plus Configuration Wiki: This is the Wiki page for Configuration in English.
Once you have completed the installation and initial configuration, it is good practice to delete the install folder and to verify that your config.php file is chmodded to 644.
