freelancerKit Installation

It's very easy to install freelancerKit and should only take you a few minutes. You may have to check if you have the ionCube loaders installed on your server, if you need help visit the ionCube page on the left.

  • 1. Open /config/config.php and insert your MySQL Database info.
  • 2. Set date_default_timezone_set -- find yours here
  • 3. Open your web browser and go to http://www.yoursitehere.com/clients/install/
    If you install into a directory other than 'clients', that's okay.
  • 4. After you have finished installing please erase the /install/ directory.
  • 5. Your default Master Admin login is jboy:jboy, please rename it and change your password

System Key Error

This happens when you move domains or directory. It's now included in the system at http://www.YOURSITE.com/FOLDER/resources/system/keyfix.php - Just run that file to update your system key. You should also rename this to something more complex to find.

Mod Rewrite

If you are having trouble getting mod_rewrite to work:
  • 1: Make sure you have .htaccess in your main installation directory.
  • 2: Open the file
  • 3: Below RewriteEngine On Add:
  • RewriteBase /foldername/ # Where foldername is the place you installed it
  • 4: Save and retry your site


I get an error with the __cache folder
This has only been reported once, so if you get this error: You just have to CHMOD the ~/system/application/views/__cache folder to 777 (In your FTP, you right click and select CHMOD or change Permissions, so it becomes writable). Note: FileZilla seems to have problems with CHMOD on our servers, so sometimes we change it in our hosting control panel.

How do I know if ionCube is working?
Usually you'll know right off that bat by checking your php.ini file, or using the compatibility checker. If you are worried it's an ionCube issue you will see an ionCube error message right away. Unless you receive a specific ionCube error, it's not an ionCube error.
