Installing Data Collector manually

 Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

1. After installation locate the Data Collector archive inside Sales-n-Stats installation directory. Under the var directory there is the sns.zip archive containing Data Collector files.

2. Upload the contents of this .zip file to your server, put it to the directory where you want to locate Data Collector, for example, http://myhost.com/my/collector/path.

Note:either unzip this file locally and then upload all the files to your web server or upload zip file to your web server and then unzip it. Some hosting services allow uploading and unpacking .zip archives which should be much faster then uploading entire directory.

3. Enter the following URL in your browser address field: http://myhost.com/my/collector/path/install.php where http://myhost.com/my/collector/path/ is the path to your Data Collector as seen from the web. Then follow the Installation Wizard instructions.

4. Do not forget to configure file access permissions (Unix only!) issuing the following commands: chmod 777 conf, chmod 777 conf/*

5. Setup will check PHP configuration on your server.
