Install Symphony
A quick, easy guide to help you get Symphony up and running in just a few minutes.
Conclusion
Congratulations, you've just installed Symphony! Before you jump out of your chair for a celebratory dance, we've got a little cleaning up to do:
- First, delete the (
/install
) folder. If you used an FTP client to upload your files, just select the file and delete it. If you used the command line, `cd` to the root of your Symphony installation and do:rm install.php
. - Second, be sure to tighten up the folder permissions you adjusted in Step 3. Exact settings will depend on your server environment, but the permissions on your root directory and your
symphony/
directory should be fairly restrictive (try something like 755). Then setmanifest/
andworkspace/
to 775 (make theworkspace/
permissions recursive, so they apply to its subdirectories as well).chmod 755 symphony . chmod -R 775 manifest chmod -R 775 workspace
Now you can dance (try not to embarrass yourself too badly). When you're finished, log into your Symphony admin interface (http://yourdomain.com/symphony
) and look around. The real fun is about to begin...
