GettingStarted:Installation 73 Installation ==Installation== Download and installation instructions for the Web Lite framework. Xataface is a 100% PHP Framework that comes with all dependencies as part of the installation. The framework itself lives inside a single directory that should be placed inside the document root of your web server so that it can be accessed from the web. You can install a single copy of Xataface to be used by multiple applications on your web server. Each application just "requires" the key files from the Web Lite framework. ===Downloading=== # Go to the Xataface Sourceforge project file releases page # Download the latest file release. ===Installing=== # Unpack the gzipped tar archive that you downloaded somewhere in your web server's document root (i.e., make sure that the 'dataface' directory is in a web-accessible location). # Make the dataface/Dataface/templates_c directory writable by the web server. An unsafe way to do this is to chmod 777 Dataface/templates_c But it would be better to just give write access to the web server user. # Confirm that the installation worked by pointing the web browser to http://yourdomain.com/path/to/dataface/dataface_info.php . If it worked OK, you should receive a web page that says "Dataface is installed correctly", along with some basic instructions for creating a Xataface Application. (Note: Sometimes this page will give you a false positive. i.e., it may say the installation worked but then your Xataface application receives errors. Check the troubleshooting section below to deal with these issues). ===Troubleshooting=== If your installation is not going as planned, don't panic. There is a possiblity that your system has a slightly different configuration and you have to make some small adjustments to make the installation work. The general procedure for troubleshooting the installation is as follows: # Check the [[Troubleshooting]] page. # Look through the [http://xataface.com/forum forum] to see if others have experienced the same thing. # Post your question in the forum if you can't find the answer already. installation troubleshooting downloading en
