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 &quot;requires&quot; the key files from the Web Lite framework.</p> <h3 id="toc1">Downloading</h3> <ol> <li> Go to the Xataface Sourceforge project file releases page</li> <li> Download the latest file release.</li> </ol> <h3 id="toc2">Installing</h3> <ol> <li> 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).</li> <li> Make the dataface/Dataface/templates_c directory writable by the web server. An unsafe way to do this is to </li> </ol> <p><pre> chmod 777 Dataface/templates_c</pre> But it would be better to just give write access to the web server user. <ol> <li> Confirm that the installation worked by pointing the web browser to <a href="http://yourdomain.com/path/to/dataface/dataface_info.php" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank'); return false;">http://yourdomain.com/path/to/dataface/dataface_info.php</a> . If it worked OK, you should receive a web page that says &quot;Dataface is installed correctly&quot;, 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).</li> </ol> </p> <h3 id="toc3">Troubleshooting</h3> <p>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.</p> <p>The general procedure for troubleshooting the installation is as follows:</p> <ol> <li> Check the <a href="/wiki/Troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a> page.</li> <li> Look through the <a href="http://xataface.com/forum" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank'); return false;">forum</a> to see if others have experienced the same thing.</li> <li> Post your question in the forum if you can't find the answer already.</li> </ol> </td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Keywords</td><td valign="top">installation troubleshooting downloading </td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Language</td><td valign="top">en</td></tr></tbody></table> GettingStarted:Installation
