The Windows Installer makes the process of uploading all of the files much easier and faster, and eliminates the need for a FTP client.
If you have not already downloaded the setup file, please refer to the Preparing the Files section earlier.
Once downloaded, open the file and follow the simple steps below to install webNetwork.
1. The first step of the Windows Installer is a welcome screen as seen below.
Simply click on the Next button to continue.
2. The next screen will ask you to read through and agree to our License Agreement. Please take the time to read this carefully, and select "I accept the agreement" and click Next when done.
3. Please be sure to close all open browser windows before continuing on to the next step.
Once you have closed all browser windows, click Next.
4. The next screen will collect your FTP login information.
Enter in your FTP server address, FTP username, and FTP password. The FTP port for most companies is 21, and can be left unchanged. If you're not sure what this information is, please contact your web hosting company. If you are hosting with us, you should have received a web hosting welcome email with your FTP login details shortly after registering for an account.
Once the FTP login information is entered, click on the Browse button. Select the folder where you wish to install the software. For most hosting companies, this is either the root directory, public_html, or the www folder. Cliick Next to continue.
5. After entering your FTP login information, the next screen will request you to enter the website URL.
Enter the full path to your site, for example http://www.yoursite.com/http://www.yoursite.com/sub_directory_name . Click Next to continue.
6. The next screen will confirm everything you have entered so far. Check all of the setting carefully, and click Install to continue.
7. The Windows Installer will now begin uploading your files. This will typically take 5-15 minutes on a high speed connection, but may take longer depending on the speed of the server.
Allow the Windows Installer to upload all of the files.
8. After the files have been uploaded, you will see the screen below.
Click on View Readme to view some important post-installation instructions. Click Finish. This will open up a new browser window, which will take you to the final webNetwork Installation Wizard for a few software configuration settings.
You're all set! Go to the Installation Wizard section for instructions on how to finish up your installation.
