How to INSTALL

Download the script package and unzip it.
Upload everything in the directory to the root domain / subdomain on your host server. This is because some SPS scripts does not work in sub-directories such as http://www.example.com/script/ but only work at http://www.example.com/ or http://script.example.com/.
Open and edit the file _config.php to specify the MySQL database connection credentials.
If you have uploaded the files to http://www.example.com/, fire up the browser and head to http://www.example.com/install/ and finish all the installation steps.
Delete the directory /install and everything inside.
Create the first user by signing up at http://www.example.com/signup.php. The first user will automatically become the Administrator user who is responsible for managing the website.
Good to go.
