Installing bluApple is very simple and easy. However, since we have not yet created an automated process for installing it, you have to manually install it onto your web server and manually configure it.

What you need?

• FTP Information for your website or a way to transfer files into your websites root directory.
• FTP Client ( if FTPing files )

Note: If you use dreamweaver, I would not recommended using it to do the install. Us a reliable ftp client.

• Dreamweaver ( recommended not required ) or some sort of HTML / Coldfusion IDE editor(s)

Installation

• Step 1: Make sure all of bluApple 2.0 Requirements have been met. bluApple will not work properly without a Coldfusion engine or ISAPI Re-Write
• Step 2: Copy all of the files and folders from your extracted folder. If you have not extracted the bluApple2_0.zip then do so at this time and then copy the files to the root of your website.

• Step 3: Install the database using the Database Installation guide in this wiki.

• Step 4: Now you must configure the installation manually. Hopefully soon this will all be automated from an installation process. But for now you need to configure it manually. It is very easy to configure. There is now a folder in the root of your site /system/core/_config/ There are two files that you will need to modify. They are .ini files. By default .ini files are not recognized by IIS. However, I do not know if this is the case for APACHE or other web servers. I suggest blocking access to these files for security purposes.

settings.ini

    
        [default]

        root=http://dev07.wowcorefive.com/

        applicationname=bluApple2

        cfc_path=system.core

        dsn=bluapplecore

        default_theme=bluapple

        database_type=MYSQL

        site_name=bluApple 2.0

    

Change the attributes above to configure your website. You DO NOT need to change the cfc_path. Also note that application name must be changed if you are going to run multiple bluApple installations on the same webserver.

version.ini

    [default]
    appname=bluApple2_CMS
    version=1_0_02
    setupComplete=true
    debug=false

The above is most important to change. Change the appname only.

	Note: if you ever change the version number it will create a new instance of your application under the new version. 
If you have changed anything in your system.ini or version.ini files then you will need to change the version number 
or restart coldfusion server.  Personally, I change the version number 
which restarts your entire application instance of bluApple.  

• Step 5:

Change your version number! and open your website in a browser!
