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

Troubleshooting

Important Security: Make sure to install on the domain you are using.
For example: If you install on a utility domain and later move to your regular domain you will get an error because your SYSTEM_KEY must match your server. This is for added SESSION security.

I have MOD_REWRITE on but it says to turn it on!
This is most likely due to your .htaccess file being incompatible with a php_flag command, just remove this from your file: php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

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 (You right click and CHMOD, or change Permissions, so it's writable). Note: FileZilla seems to have problems with CHMOD on our servers, so sometimes we change it in the 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.
