Requirements:

- Webspace with more than 5 MB
- Access to your webspace via FTP
- Server-side PHP-Support (version 8.0 or newer)
  with module 'gd' enabled
  with module 'mbstring' enabled

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:

- Download the latest version of GigKalender: www.paderdesign.de
- Unzip the file into an empty local folder
- Open the file 'gigkalender.ini.php' with a text editor
  Don’t remove the <?php tag at the top!
- Insert the SQL access data, like the SQL database name, host, password and
  script path

    Examples:

      Webhosting:

        $db_name = "db123456789";
        $db_host = "db123.puretec.de";
        $db_user = "dba123456789";
        $db_password = "xyz123";
        $prefix = "gigkalender_";
        $GigKalenderPath = "http://www.my-domain.xyz/gigkalender/";
        
      local server (localhost):

        $db_name = "mydatabase";
        $db_host = "localhost";
        $db_user = "root";
        $db_password = "xyz123";
        $prefix = "gigkalender_";
        $GigKalenderPath = "http://localhost/gigkalender/";

- If necessary, change the table prefix '$prefix' in the file
  'gigkalender.ini.php' to something different.
- Change the path variable '$GigKalenderPath' in 'gigkalender.ini.php' to your
  GigKalender folder (absolute URL), e.g. http://www.my-domain.xyz/gigkalender/
- Connect via FTP to your webspace and add a new subfolder 'gigkalender' or what
  you defined above
- Upload all files into this new subfolder
- Run the installation script www.my-domain.xyz/gigkalender/install/index.php
- When installation has finished, rename or delete the folder 'install' via FTP
- Login to GigKalender with
    Username: Admin
    Password: admin
- Go to Admin > Export and test the export function:
    If the export function fails, ensure that the folder 'gigkalender/export'
    has write permissions. In most cases, 0755 is sufficient. Avoid 0777 unless
    absolutely necessary.
- **Important:** Change your admin password immediately after login!
