Installing the WebYep System Folder

The WebYep System Folder is the folder named

webyep-system

It contains the core WebYep program elements that need to be installed in the web server. Place this folder in the root of your website and upload it to you webspace. After uploading, the WebYep System needs to be prepared (setting the access permissions for the data folder).

Please see the "Installation" chapter in the WebYep Documentation for details. The docmentation is bundled with the package you downloaded, but you can also access it online at the Objective Development web site.

Alternatively you can use the WebYep Online Installer https://secure.obdev.at/WebYepInstaller/.

Updating from previous versions

Use your favorite FTP client application to perform the following steps:

  1. Backup the contents of the data folder located in the webyep-system folder on the web server (= download the files in that folder and save them on your local hard disc).
  2. Backup the contents of the opt folder located in the webyep-system/program folder, if you have installed additional software like a WYSIWYG editor there.
  3. Backup the configuration file, config-inc.php located in the webyep-system folder.
  4. Rename the webyep-system folder on the web server – e.g. rename it to webyep-system-old.
  5. Install the new webyep-system folder on the web server (upload it to the same location as the old webyep-system folder was installed in).
  6. Transfer your settings (e.g. username and password) from the backup config-inc.php to the new one (inside the new webyep-system folder).
  7. Remove the empty data folder from the new webyep-system folder.
  8. Move the old data folder from the old webyep-system folder into the new one on the server (webyep-system-old/data => webyep-system/data).
  9. If you have installed additional software like a WYSIWYG editor:
