You can choose to download only the Events Calendar Component or the entire One Admin Suite. Before installing, we recommend you to take a look at System Requirements.

Your web host must have PHP installed and configured with the MySQL database support. Also, you should have FTP access to the web server where you wish to install the Events Calendar on.

Step 1: Unzip File

Unzip the calendar31.zip onto your local computer, make sure to preserve the directory structure contained in the zip. If you do not have a zip utility, you can download one for free, the Winzip program from

Step 2: Uploading Files

Using a FTP program, login to your web server and transfer the 'oneadmin' folder from your local computer into the web root. This is usually public_html or httpdocs folder, the same directory in which your homepage resides. However, the web root location could be different on your server.

Step 3: Set File Permissions

The Events Calendar requires modification of files or create new files in directories. If you are using Unix-based web server, you will need to set file permissions - read, write and execute on these files and directories. Most FTP programs allow you to change file permissions.

Permissions are specified by 3 digit number, such as 644 or 755. Please CHMOD * these file and directory accordingly:

• /oneadmin/_files : 777 (Owner: Read, Write, Execute; Group: Read, Write, Execute; Others: Read, Write, Execute)
  
  
• /oneadmin/config.php : 777 (Owner: Read, Write, Execute; Group: Read, Write, Execute; Others: Read, Write, Execute)

Unix File Permissions
* CHMOD is a command responsible for changing file permissions.

To set file permissions with your FTP program, right click on a file or directory, and look for command such as 'File Attributes', 'Change File Permissions', or 'chmod'. From here you will be able to set 'read, write, execute' permissions for 'owner, group, others' via checkboxes. Anyway, the easiest way to set permission would be insert the appropriate number.

Windows File Permissions

Normally, PHP scripts is able to run on Windows environment with no need to set any file permissions.

However, in some cases, a server might not be setup to allow the PHP scripts to have 'write access' to it's file. As a result, the program will prompts you warning message stating that it is not able to write into it's data file.

Windows server users will not be able to set the file permissions via FTP. In this case, talk to your server administrator about this and help you out.

Step 4: Creating a MySQL Database

The Event Calendar make use of MySQL database to store your data.  This database must be created before you run the Installation Wizard.

Most web hostings include an integrated control panel to let you manage your MySQL database easily.

Let's login to your MySQL database, and create a new database for your Events Calendar, as well as a new user account with full permissions on that database. You can also use the existing database if you wish. Please jot down the MySQL details, as you will need them in the Installation Wizard.

If you do not have enough permission to create the database, you may need to ask your web hosting provider to create it for you, and grants you access.
 


Step 5: Run Installation Wizard

To run the Installation Wizard, open the /oneadmin with your web browser, for example: http://your-domain-name/oneadmin. For Windows Server users, probably you'll need to navigate to http://your-domain-name/oneadmin/index.php

The Installation Wizard will appears, which will guides you through the final installation process. Simply follow 4 simple steps as described below:

(I) Checking Server Configurations

(II) Directory Paths and Administrator Password

This section allows you to specify the locations of your /oneadmin directory, and the administrator login password. There are 4 text fields to fill in, from which 3 have been defined by the Events Calendar program.

  '/var/www/httpdocs/sitename/oneadmin/'. If you unsure of the path, please ask your server administrator for assistance.
  
  By default, this text field should already contains values that the Event Calendar has specified for you. However, in some special instances, you may need to enter the correct path as required:

  - This is caused when your server might not be setup to publish the relative path.
  - It is advisable that you ask your server administrator for the complete document path, or refer to the PHP INFO.
  
  
  2. Document path of Windows web server
  - Says the default value is 'E:homesystemsitenameoneadmin'.
  - Here's what to do: Replace all backslash '' with double backslash '\'. Your correct path should look something like this 'E:\home\system\sitename\oneadmin\'

• Administrator Login
  
  The Event Calendar creates user 'admin' by default, and you will not be able to edit this username, nor delete this account. The admin will have full permission to access and maintain every part of the application.
