Welcome to WebYep,
The Shiny Tiny WebCMS!
Content of the package WebYep-x.x.x.zip
- The WebYep System Folder ("webyep-system")
- The WebYep Documentation ("WebYep_Documentation_x.x.x " – where x.x.x is the version number)
- ReadMe.html (which you are reading now...)
- WebYep License Agreement.html
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/.
Use your favorite FTP client application to perform the following steps:
- 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).
- 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.
- Backup the configuration file, config-inc.php located in the webyep-system folder.
- Rename the webyep-system folder on the web server – e.g. rename it to webyep-system-old.
- 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).
- Transfer your settings (e.g. username and password) from the backup config-inc.php to the new one (inside the new webyep-system folder).
- Remove the empty data folder from the new webyep-system folder.
- 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).
- If you have installed additional software like a WYSIWYG editor:
- Remove the empty opt folder from the new webyep-system/program folder.
- Move the old opt folder from the old webyep-system folder into the new one on the server (webyep-system-old/program/opt => webyep-system/program/opt).
- Instead, you can of course do a fresh install of the most recent versions of the software you had installed in the opt folder.
Alternatively you can use the WebYep Online Installer https://secure.obdev.at/WebYepInstaller/ to update the WebYep installation on your web server.
Documentation for the web designer
- The WebYep Documentation is bundled with the package you downloaded (the folder "WebYep_Documentation_x.x.x" – where x.x.x is the version number).
- You can also access this documentation online at the Objective Development web site.
