Installing Auction Acrobat on your 1&1 server

The instructions that came with Auction Acrobat were for setting it up on Hostgator.

I use 1&1 as my server, so if you need help setting up your database on 1&1, then here are the step by step instructions.

Step 1:
Create a database. This is as simple as clicking on MySQL Administration and then Create a New Database.



Step 2:
Make sure you choose SQL 5.0 otherwise you'll get errors. Name it whatever you like.


Step 3.
Once the database is ready (might take a few minutes) click on the PHPMyAdmin button to enter the SQL area.


Step 4.
1. Click on the database name on the left, then 2. the SQL button (2nd button) in the main screen. Finally 3. find the dump.sql file on your computer and upload it to the database.


And your database is created!

Next fill in the passwords.php file with your relevant info. You'll find the host name, user name, password & database name on the main control panel area of the My SQL page on 1&1.


Upload all the files from the Auction Acrobat script folder somewhere on your website. (It doesn't matter where it is, just somewhere you can access it online - I put mine in a folder on one of my websites).

Then when they are all uploaded go to the folder where you put the files and you should see the Auction Acrobat Admin sreen. Login using the password provided to you (see your Installation Manual) and then change the password to anything you like.

Follow the rest of the instructions from the Installation Manual and you are done!

Now get searching for some ebooks to sell!
