Super Affiliate Link Manager

Installation Instructions
-------------------------
If you are installing Super Affiliate Link Manager yourself, please follow these instructions. If you have any questions or confusions feel free to contact me at Dustin@SuperAffiliateLinkManager.com

Step 1
Download and unzip the latest version of Super Affiliate Link Manger. You should have received download instructions after making your payment.

Step 2
If not already configured, you will need to set up a MySQL database with an associated username and password. As each control panel may be different, if you need assistance with this, please contact your hosting provider.

Step 3
Find and edit config.php in your favorite text editor. The following values will need to be set:
	* $config['db_host']: MySQL host - usually localhost
	* $config['db_name']: MySQL database name
	* $config['db_user']: MySQL database user name
	* $config['db_password']: Password associated with user name
	* $tbl_pre: prefix that will be applied to all tables. This can be helpful if your database is not dedicated to Super Affiliate Link Manager and your are sharing resources
	* $config['username']: For authentication purposes. Allows you to set a username and password in order to access Super Affiliate Link Manager. If you do not set this, anyone may access Super Affiliate Link Manager.
	* $config['password']: Authentication password

Step 4
Upload all files to your web server using FTP or your preferred method of uploading. .htaccess should be uploaded to your root (public_html or www) folder in ASCII mode. If there is an existing .htaccess file you should append the contents of the Super Affiliate Link Manager .htaccess file to your existing .htaccess file in order to avoid any adverse effects.

The salm folder should also be uploaded to your root (public_html or www) folder while keeping the same directory structure. (Any change in the folder name will require modifications to the .htaccess file. I do not recommend change the folder name unless you are familiar with regular expressions and mod_rewrite).

For file types .php, .js, .tpl, upload in ASCII mode. For file types .gif, .jpg, upload in binary mode.

Step 5
On your server, inside the salm folder, set the permissions (chmod) for the templates_c folder to 777 (Read, write, and execute for user, group, and world).

Step 6
In your browser, open salm/install.php (http://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/salm/install.php). This will create you the necessary tables in MySQL and insert default settings.

Step 7
Delete install.php from your server. If called again this would erase all information in your database for Super Affiliate Link Manager!


That’s it! Now just go to http://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/salm/ to begin using Super Affiliate Link Manager.
