Mambo CMS Installation

- Download

You can get Jinzora from the following
Jinzora Downloads Page

- Installing

Once you've got Jinzora extracted you 'll need to go to the Mambo Administration page

Click "Components - Install/Uninstall"

In "Package File:" click "Browse" and select the .zip package that you downloaded

Click "Upload File & Install"

In the Mambo Administration page click on "Menu - Main Menu"

Click on "New" (at the top of the page)

Select "Component" and click "Next"

For "Name" name your link "Jinzora" or whatever you want
For "Component" choose "Jinzora"
Click "Save"

Now, you MUST extact the .zip or .tar.gz file that you downloaded and upload it manually to the server. All the contents should be extracted to "components/com_jinzora". We realize this is odd, and are working to make this better but this is just how it is for now, trust us when you get Jinzora working it will be worth it! (just overwrite everything that is there...)
NOTE: At the end of install if you are using a very narrow theme, like "SolarFlare" then Jinzora will most likely display funny. This is due to the width of Jinzora and is NOT a bug. To make Jinzora display better consider turning off some of the drop down meune like the quick playlist generator by setting $quick_drop = "false"; in your settings.php file.

Click the menu item for "Jinzora" (or whatever you called it) - You'll now be taken through the Jinzora installer - Choose your language and click Next

Go through the installer, it is documented.

Once the installer is finished make sure to set the permissions on the "data" and "temp" directories (within in the Jinzora directory)
NOTE: This is only for non-Windows systems
Doing a:
chmod 777 data (and make sure to get all the subdirectories)
chmod 777 temp (and make sure to get all the subdirectories)
Should be all you have to do.
Now click on the new link you added to Mambo and you'll be presented with the web based installer. On the second page of the installer you'll be asked for the installation type. Just choose "Mambo" and you'll be all set. You can of course use the "Expert" mode, but that will take much longer.
At the very end the installer will create two files for you. The files settings.php and users.php will be generated, and if possible, be written to the server for you. If the installer can't write these files you'll be able to download them manually. You'll need to upload these 2 files to the root directory of the Jinzora installation. Once you've uploaded these files you'll be able to go to the index page for Jinzora.

Enjoy Jinzora on Mambo!!!
