phpBMS Documentation

After downloading the phpBMS wile you need to decompress the files to your web servers web root directory.

1. Locate the web root directory on your web server. This is the directory where publicly accessible files are made available by your web server. Common locations for web roots include:
   • /var/www/html/ (Linux/Apache)
   • /Library/Web Server/Documents/ (MacOS X/Apache)
   • C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\ (Windows/Apache)
2. If you want phpBMS to be installed to the root, decompress the downloaded phpBMS file here. If you want to install to a sub-directory, create the directory, change to that directory and uncompress the file there.
3. If you downloaded the tar/gzip compressed file and are running Linux or Mac OSX, run this from the command line to uncompress:
   tar -xvf phpbms-0.96.tar.gz
4. Perform a directory listing and verify that the file defaultsettings.php is there.
