How do I setup SimpleCMS?

1. Download the CMS from GitHub via https://github.com/JRogaishio/SimpleCMS
2. Once downloaded, place all files in your webservers root directory
3. Open up config.php and change the DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD and SITE_ROOT to match your databases server settings
4. Update the "RewriteBase" item on the .htaccess file to match your current setup. If the CMS is setup on your root directory, change line 5 RewriteBase /SimpleCMS/ to just /
5. Update the "ErrorDocument" items on the .htaccess file to match your current setup. This is on lines 8, 11, 14, 17 and 20 on the .htaccess file. Below is an example of what needs to be changed to: ErrorDocument 400 http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?p=SYS_400
6. Lastly, be sure that the extension=php_openssl.dll is not commented out on your php.ini installation. extension=php_openssl.dll is required to make requests to GitHub for version checking and CMS updating.

Once that setup is complete, visit www.yourwebsite.com/admin.php in your web browser and the database / tables will build themselves.

You will be prompted to create a new user for the first setup. Once created you will need to log in as this new user.
