Installing Cutenews

This tutorial requires you to have:


  • A FTP client (or just use an online FTP)
  • Cutenews
  • PHP Supported server
  • Patience to read the tutorial
  • Respect for my work.


Uploading Cutenews

First of all, download Cutenews at cutephp.com.

IF you use a FTP client like SmartFTP, I think you might have to unzip the folder first, then upload it onto your server.
IF you use an ONLINE FTP client like net2FTP like I do, net2FTP helps me unzip the zipped file so I don't have to worry about unzipping it.

Chmoding

You have to chmod the cutenews/data file:



1. Select the radio button of DATA. (It's that little square thing that you click on in multiple choice questions...)
2. Click on the Chmod button.
3. Chmod ALL THE FILES AND SUBFOLDERS in DATA to 777:



4. Click OK or the save button or the tick or whatever means 'OK'.
5. Then, go to http://yoursite.com/cutenews/index.php and follow the instructions there.
