Remarks:

Download the latest version under www.paderdesign.de.

For the further steps you need:
  1. a file archiver:
    To decompress of the ZIP-file you may want to sue 7-Zip. (Some operating systems have such tools as permanent feature, e.g. Windows XP).
  2. a text editor:
    A simple text editor is enough (under Windows e.g. 'Notepad'). A comfortable alternative is PSPad.
  3. a FTP client:
    You need a FTP client to upload all files from your local harddisk to your webspace. FileZilla is a great tool for that.
  4. a web browser:
    You can use any modern web brower, e.g. Firefox, Seamonkey, Opera or Internet Explorer.

In the first lines you have to define the connection to the MySQL database.

Hint: If you wanna install GigKalender on webspace from a webhoster then you will find these data in the customer account, or just ask your webhoster about it.

 Vorlage
04 - Customize table prefix

You can install GigKalender parallel to other systems or several GigKalender installations onto the same database. To distinguish each GigKalender installation you can define here different table prefixes.

If you install only one GigKalender you don't have to change this line.
 Vorlage
05 - Define the GigKalender path

In the next line you have to define in which directory you wanna install GigKalender. This declaration can be absolute or relative. It is recommoned to make it absolut with a closing Slash (/).

Save this file when you are ready.

07 - Call installation script

Call the installation script. The URL should look like 
www.my-domain.xyz/gigkalender/install

Hint: If you see the colors and graphics like in this screenshot your GigKalender path is correct. Otherwise go back to step 05. Try a relative/absolute path instead. Check the final Slash (/). If you have to create a new database prefer MySQL version 5.
