[Answered] Johnny Softaculous Application Request: Open Real Estate

[guildwebmaster]

Ok so I went to Softaculous.com and created an account because I wanted to use their FTP upload process to add Open Real Estate to my site in a folder I created located at http://www.rentersguild.com/rentalproperties. Unfortunately it ask me for credentials and paths and I'm not certain what to enter.

 

It asks for:

Domain Name: rentersguild.com

FTP Username: rentalproperties@rentersguild.com

FTP Password: ______________

FTP Path: (I have no idea what to enter here)

Backup Path: (I have no idea what to enter here)

Data Directory: (I have no idea, but it says it is usually something not accessible by the web)

 

I setup an ftp account called rentalproperties@rentersguild.com and it rests at /home/guild83/public_html/rentalproperties I figured this would be the best one to use. But it's not working.

 

I would have just used the Softaculous interface in cPanel but it did not have Open Real Estate application to install. Can we either have the application added or can you please assist me with how I should correctly fill out the requested information?

 

A demo of what it looks like is here: http://www.softaculous.com/demos/Open_Real_Estate

 

Thank you for your help.

An admin would need to add the extra software for you if you wanted it in softaculous.

 

As for Open Real Estate, you can install it yourself quite easily. The developer's website for Open Real Estate is here: http://monoray.net/products/6-open-real-estate There's a link to an English download and an install guide on that site. It's pretty much a matter of uploading the files, setting permissions, creating a database and DB user for it through cPanel, then visiting it in your browser to configure it.

I appreciate the response, I don't know anything about creating a database and that is why I am lost on this.

You can create a database here: http://rentersguild.com:2082/frontend/x3/sql/wizard1.html

 

Enter a name for the database, click Next Step. On the next page enter a username and password for the database and click "Create User". On the final page, check "All Privileges" at the top of the list, then click "Next Step". Wait for it to say it was created and added successfully. That's all there is to it.

 

Just a note: Your database user and database name will both start with your cpanel username and an underscore, even though you didn't type that part in when you create them. The names will look something like guild83_DBNAME and guild83_USERNAME.

If the manual installation is too complicated to figure out, you can always install open real estate with softaculous with this link http://johnny.heliohost.org:2082/frontend/x3/softaculous/index.live.php?act=software&soft=445
