Preface

Installing e107


Even if you are new to Linux, installing e107 is very easy. Before we begin let me caution those of you who have web-hosting accounts that feature cPanel. cPanel is a control panel very widely used in Linux hosting. Most cPanel accounts also offer Fantastico DeLuxe (a plug-in with a script library that automates script installation). If your web-hosting company activates e107 as an option then you can install e107 and the database with a mouse click. I strongly recommend against this type of installation as it often installs older versions of e107 and once it has finished you will still have to go to the e107 site, download, and install the updated files, so you really gain nothing.
