>> INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your IMS Pro license! Installation of
this script is not difficult, but does require that you have
a full understanding of how to upload files and set permissions.
If you are unaccustomed to this process, or run into any problems
with your installation, do not hesitate to contact us. We provide
installation to all our clients at no cost. If we cannot install
your IMS within seven (7) days of your purchase, we will provide
a full refund.

>> SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

In order to install and run the IMS Pro, your server must meet
several requirements:

	1. PHP (version 4.2.0 or higher) must be installed.
	2. PHP Safe Mode must be set to OFF.
	3. GD Libraries (version 2.0 or higher) must be installed.
	4. You must have access to a MySQL database.

The installer will determine whether or not your server meets
these requirements.

	Note: In order to host paid users, you will also need a
	      PayPal account that is capable of accepting credit-
	      card payments via the IPN feature. You must turn the
	      IPN feature on from your PayPal account. If you only 
	      plan to host free users, this is not required.

>> INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. First, you must upload all of the files in the "ims" folder with your
FTP client. If you do not have one, we suggest WS_FTP (www.ipswitch.com).

	A) Create a folder named "ims" on your server.

	B) Upload the contents of the "ims" folder on your hard drive to
	   the "ims" folder on your server. This should include the
           "admin", "icons", "temp", and "u" folders, along with forty
	   other files.

        C) The "icons" folder must be uploaded in BINARY mode, while
	   all other folders and files must be uploaded in ASCII mode.

2. Next, you must set permissions on your folders and files. To set
permissions (CHMOD) in WS_FTP, right-click on a file/folder and select
the "chmod" option.

	A) /ims - CHMOD 777
	B) /ims/admin - CHMOD 755
	C) /ims/icons - CHMOD 755
        D) /ims/temp - CHMOD 777
        E) /ims/u - CHMOD 777
        F) All files within the "ims" folder - CHMOD 755
        G) All files within the "admin" folder - CHMOD 755

3. Now, point your browser to "install.php", which is located in your
"ims" folder. For example: http://www.yourserver.com/ims/install.php
You should see "Webligo IMS Pro v4.0 Installer".

	A) Step 1: The installer will check that your server has the
	   requirements needed to install and run the IMS Pro.

	B) Step 2: The installer will check that you have uploaded all
	   all of the folders and files. It will also make sure that
	   you have properly set the permissions described above.

	C) Step 3: On this page, you must provide your MySQL database
	   connection information. If you do not have this information,
	   please ask your hosting provider or system administrator.

	D) Step 4: Click the link to continue to your admin panel.

4. Once you have reached your admin panel login page, proceed to login
with this information:

	Username: admin
	Password: ims1234

You will begin on the Admin Home page. Immediately continue to the
General Settings page, and complete the entire form. Be sure to enter
your email address in the Admin/System Email Address field. If you do
not plan on hosting paid users, or do not have a PayPal account, simply
enter the same email address in the PayPal Email Address field. If you
DO plan on hosting paid users, you MUST enter your PRIMARY PayPal email
address.

Also, if you plan on hosting paid accounts, you must activate your PayPal
IPN feature. To do this, login to your PayPal account and modify your settings.
PayPal will ask you for a script URL. Provide it with the full URL to your
paypal.php file. For example: http://www.yourserver.com/ims/paypal.php

Next, go straight to the Pricing Plans page, and create a free or paid
plan. If you do not do this, users will be unable to signup for a new
account.

	Note: You can now delete install.php using your FTP client.
	      DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS!

After this, we recommend that you look over the User Settings and HTML
Settings pages. User Settings will allow you to modify all the emails
sent by the IMS Pro, and the HTML Settings page will let you add header
or footer HTML to customize the look and feel of the IMS. If you want
to change the stylesheet, simply modify styles.css manually. If you
want to change content that is displayed within the IMS frontend, you
can edit the PHP files manually. Note: If you have edited the PHP files,
we may not be able to provide support. 

Users can signup here:
http://www.yourserver.com/ims/signup.php (example)

Users can login here:
http://www.yourserver.com/ims/login.php (example)

Remember, your admin panel can be found here:
http://www.yourserver.com/ims/admin/

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are going to host paid users and plan to use
the PayPal IPN feature, you must TURN ON PayPal IPN from within your
PayPal account. You will also be asked to provide a script URL. For 
this, simply provide the URL to your paypal.php file, for example:
http://www.yourserver.com/ims/paypal.php

If you run into any problems or errors during your installation, do
not hesitate to contact us. We provide free support for thirty (30)
days for all our clients. Visit us at http://www.webligo.com.
