Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

  1. Make sure your web server has PHP and MySQL installed and configured correctly.
  2. Create the MySQL database that RN will live in. (Currently, if you plan to use a login module for a system like phpbb or eqdkp, RN will need to reside in the same database. This restriction will be lifted in the future.)
  3. Download RaidNinja. Unzip it and upload it to your webserver into the folder of your choice.
  4. Change RN's folder's permissions to allow PHP to have write access.
  5. Visit the directory you uploaded RN to in the web browser of your choice.
  6. You should now see the RN installer. If not, type in http://www.yourwebsite.com/directory/to/rn_root/install/install.php into your browser's address bar.
  7. The installer will now guide you through the rest of the installation process. Once you are done installing RaidNinja, delete RN's install directory from your web server.

Upgrade Instructions (for RC1 and later)

  1. Download the latest RaidNinja package.
  2. Unzip the files and upload them to RaidNinja's directory on your web server. When asked if you want to overwrite files with the same name, say yes.
  3. Delete the install directory.
  4. The first time anyone visits a page in RN, RN will update your database and RN's version number automatically. RN is now upgraded!
