INSTALLATION
You must have access to your FTP/WEB server. Please observe the following instructions for installing era//404 myFml Family Tree Tool:

1. Unzip contents and upload to your web server's root directory, or internal directory in which the your family tree is to reside. This directory will correspond to the link you will later distribute to share your own Family Tree.

2. Change the directory permissions to allow write access for the following:
     \assets\img - Uploaded Photos
     \assets\img\s - Photo Thumbnails
     \sys\smarty\templates_c - Cached Template Pages
     \admin\logs - Access Logs

* With most ftp clients, you can simply right-click the folder name and select PROPERTIES, PERMISSIONS or CHMOD to change folder permissions.

3. Change the following two variables in your config_app script to match your web server's properties:
     $my_familyTree_web_address = "http://www.domain.com/myFml/"
     $my_familyTree_root_directory = " /home/domain/myFml/"

4. Although myFml Family Tree tool was built for use with MySQL's database architecture, the ADOdb database abstraction layer was integrated so countless other database architectures are also supported.

The following is a sample configuration for using MySQL. If your web host uses another database, you may simply choose one of the other configurations below. Be sure that the APP_DB_NAME value matches the name of the database you have created for your family tree.

MySQL
     define('APP_DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
     define('APP_DB_HOST', 'localhost');
     define('APP_DB_USER', 'user');
     define('APP_DB_PASS', 'pass');
     define('APP_DB_NAME', 'myfml');

Microsoft Access
     define('APP_DB_TYPE', 'access');
     define('APP_DB_DSN', 'myFml');
     define('APP_DB_USER', 'user');
     define('APP_DB_PASS', 'pass');

5. Load the configuration script (http://www.domain.com/myFml/sys/config.php) and complete the fields for setting up your family tree. Be sure to remember the admin username and password you have entered, as these will be needed to make changes to your family tree.


USING MYFML FAMILY TREE TOOL
1. Log-in as an administrator by visiting the login page (http://www.domain.com/myFml/admin/) and entering your admin username and password.

     • Edit Branch
     • Remove Branch
     • Remove Image


2. When finished with edits to your family tree, click "LOG-OUT" to safely log out of the administration panel.
