Installing LOVD
Before you install
Pre-install Setup
You will need to rename the standard config file config.ini-lovd to config.ini and edit it in, for example, a basic text editor. This is absolutely mandatory, because you will need to enter the MySQL hostname, database name, username and password here.
Please go through the entire config.ini file to determine if you need to change any of the other settings.

In this LOVD install, a .htaccess file is put in the root directory protecting the .ini file. This will keep the .ini file from being viewed on Apache HTTP servers (if configured properly), the most commonly used webserver. If you use Apache, please check that your version and configuration support this feature. If you use a different webserver, make sure to configure it to deny access to this file. LOVD will access the .ini file through the filesystem. |
