isoEngine - Documentation

To install any version of the engine perform the following:

Step 1: Download the version you want to use

Step 2: Unzip the file to your web server

Step 3: Open the “_isoConnect.php” file. This should be located in the root folder. You will want to change variables in the top of this file:

• $database = “”; //the name of your database
• $db_user = “”; //username for database
• $db_passwd = “”; //the password for your database
• $db_host = “localhost”; //90% of the time this is right

Step 4: Create the databse

Open phpMyAdmin, or any other mySQL admin tool. You will want to import the file “_buildDatabase.sql” to the database you specified in the connect file. This will create a number of tables and setup starting data.

Step 6: Create an Admin account

The first thing you should do is go register for the site. Go to index.php (entrance) of site. You should see a login and a register. Register your account.

Open myPHPAdmin or any other SQL tool and go to the “iso_user” table. Find the user account that was just created. Enter “S” into the “userSecurity” field. (Note: S - Super Admin).

Step 7: Go Play!

You can now play or change things within your game. Try going to the “[url]/admin.php” page to see options for how to configure the game.
