Installation

[BasssPale]

I can be considered a Power User, but I'm NOT a developer.

How difficult would it be for me to install XF in my MediaTemple Grid hosting environment?

 

[Paul B]

It's a straightforward process: http://xenforo.com/help/installation/

Assuming I have shell or cPanel, it takes less than 5 minutes.

Alright. My developer is not familiar with XF, so I'm on my own here.
Going through your help page, I may just prefer hiring you guys to do the install. However, the service offered does not include PHP or MySQL installation or configuration.
Who will do the PHP or MySQL installation and configuration for me?

 

[Paul B]

Your host or server tech guy would have to do that.
It should be installed already if you purchase hosting.

We can create the database instance during the installation, if cPanel access is provided.

 

[BasssPale]

What do I need to provide you with if I'm looking to have you guys do the install for me?

 

[Paul B]

The information you need to provide is listed on the installation request form.
In summary we require FTP, MySQL, and admin details.
A cPanel login is also useful, if you have one.

 

[BasssPale]

Alright. Will you also be able to setup a testing environment?
