How to install "Project Management Application PHP & AJAX"

First, thank you "Code Geeks" for the great app on CodeCanyon.net.

I purchased it and love it but the set up was not as simple as the author had stated... but for a really simple reason.

The install page provides some fields that are not notated. So I am filling in the notation here.

STEP 1: upload files to your directory
Be sure that all the files/folders are there on the directory you want.

STEP 2: the install page.
1. The first field is titled "Application name". Use this to title this apps work-space. This is the title that will go in your

tag in the page header (visible in the browser tabs).
2. The second field is titled "Domain". In this field you place the domain name as you would if your were purchasing it. As in, not "HTTP://...". I chose NOT to use 'www' before my domain. Your text that should be in this box should look be in the format "nybergbusinesssystems.com"
3. The third filed is titled "Path". This is the one that messed me up. What you DO put here is the directory page AFTER your domain name (used above). Why is this important? Because if you do this wrong you will get either a server error, or odd url structure.

If you use "public_html/directory/nybergbusinesssystmes.com/project/goform/" you will get server error.
If you use "/project/goform" you will get a double "//" in your url that looks like this http://nybergbusinesssystems.com//project/goform"

So ONLY use the directory and/or the "/" between sub directories.

What the system is doing is placing the "Domain" from the fist field, and connecting it to the "Path" field. And it assumes that you need a "/" between them.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have done this step wrong you will not be able to edit the install.settings.php file to fix it. You will need to delete the app and start over.

4. The forth field is titled "Hostname". This should be "localhost".
5. The fifth field is titled "Username". This is the user name of the mysql user that is assigned to the db user you created.
6. The sixth field is titled "Password". This is the password to the mysql user you created.
7. The seventh filed is titled "Database". This is the name of the database you created.

STEP 3.1: create a mysql user and database and connect them.
If you need help with this step... google it.

STEP 4: Install the app
Once you have placed all of the info into the install fields, select "install". You will be redirected to the url yourwebsite.com/install.php and you will see a message.

STEP 5: delete the install.php file
Go to your directory that hold this app and delete the "install.php" file. Once you have done that you need to go back to the directory like you did when you first installed the app. If you select "refresh" it will warn you that you are doing a step again. so I simply type in the full url of the app again. You should now see a log in screen. If your login screen has no css styeing... than you did something wrong.

STEP 6.
Log in and enjoy the project management app.

STEP 7: I did something wrong and need to start over.....
Delete the "settings.install.php" file from the apps directory and re add the install.php file that you deleted in an earlier step. You can get that file from the zip folder that the app was downloaded in.
