- 2. Call 1-866-468-1015, 1-888-228-8440 (toll free)
Check up PG Events system requirements:
- PHP 4.0 or greater (for PHP 5 - MySQL extention should be installed)
- MySQL 3.23.0 or greater. MySQL-encoding: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8_general_ci). MySQL connection
compatibility: UTF-8
- Zend Optimizer
- open_basedir restriction switched off (optional but preferable)
- Cronjobs/scheduler support (necessary for site users to receive auto email alerts)
- gd2lib installed on your server (hosting)
Follow the installation instructions:
1. Download PG Events software archive, extract the files and upload them to your ftp site using any
FTP client which you have installed at your computer.
Note: With Basic License use Binary transfer mode when uploading source codes. This is a strict
requirement of Zend encoded files.
2. Create an empty MySQL database and add a user to this database. Database user should have full
rights because the script will use this user’s parameters to populate the database with tables and data.
Note: To be on the safe side, it’s advised to make a backup of the whole database at least once a
month. Please don’t forget to do it.
3. Give CHMOD 777 (full permissions) to the following script folders:
temp
temptemplates_c
templogs
tempcountries
tempcaptcha
tempcache
temprss
uploads
uploads5
uploads5image
uploads2

Note: CHMOD 777 (rwxrwxrwx) - you can do that by right clicking on the script file or directory in your
FTP client software dialog box and choosing CHMOD or Set File Attributes.
Note 2: Sometimes you will have to give CHMOD 777 to public_html (or www) directory and this is
definitely forbidden by most of hosting companies. You shouldn’t be worried about it because you
can simply give CHMOD 777 for the installation period and return to the original permissions level
right after it.
Note 3: If you use a Windows server, you should either give all rights to Internet Guest account for the
above-mentioned folder yourself or ask your hosting company support team to do it.
4. Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/install/ (where www.yourdomain.com is your domain name)
5. Install the script (all data will be inserted by installation script and you are just to check it up and
correct if anything is wrong)
