INTRODUCTION
Pimped-Fusion is based on PHP-Fusion 7.01. Pimped-Fusion is a light-weight open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP 5 (compatible with PHP 4). It utilises a MySQL database to store your site content and includes a simple, comprehensive administration system. Pimped-Fusion includes the all common features you would expect to see in many other CMS packages. The difference between Pimped-Fusion and PHP-Fusion are basically multi-language support, seo url-rewrite a warning system, but there are a lot of other features and tweaks.

New Installation
Before installing Pimped-Fusion you need to create a MySQL database. You can do this via your web-hosting control panel or phpMyAdmin. Make sure you have your mysql access details at hand including the hostname, username, password and database name as you will need to specify these during setup.

1. Before you upload the files, rename the file _config.php (located in the folder entitled files) to config.php.

2. Upload the contents of the files folder to your web server.

3. Unless you are running PHP-Fusion on a local server, in most cases you will need to CHMOD the following files and folders to 777. Alternatively you can CHMOD them automatically while installation procedure through inputing your FTP-account-details.

4. Go to your website where setup.php should start automatically. If not, you should run setup.php manually by entering your full site url followed by _install/setup.php. Example: http://www.yourdomain.com/_install/setup.php.

5. Complete the setup process by following all on-screen prompts.

6. Immediately after completing the installation of PHP-Fusion you must CHMOD config.php back to 644 AND delete the files setup.php and update.php from your web server.

UPGRADE From Pimped-Fusion
Before you upgrade we recommend that you backup your files and your database. You need to follow these instructions precisely.

1. First you must upload the folder _install and the included files up to the root folder of your Pimped-Fusion script.

2. Login to your site as the Super Administrator.

3. Run the Script your-domain.com/_install/update.php and follow the instructions.

4. Delete the _install folder after successfull update.

5. Upload all files from the files folder of the Update Package up to your webserver in your root folder of Pimped-Fusion.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask on our support site for help.

UPGRADE From PHP-Fusion v7.00.XX or v7.01.XX
Before you upgrade we strongly recommend that you backup your files and your database. You need to follow these instructions precisely.

1. First you must upload the folder _install and the included files up to the root folder of your PHP-Fusion script.

2. Login to your site as the Super Administrator.

3. Run the Script your-domain.com/_install/update.php and follow the instructions.

4. important notice: Since this release contains a number of changes, some elements of your site will not work properly until you have updated all of your files. You must upload all of the files from the files folder of the package up to your webserver in your root folder of PHP-Fusion.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask on our support site for help.

UPGRADE From PHP-Fusion V6.01.XX
It is not possible to upgrade from PHP-Fusion 6.01.xx to Pimped-Fusion. You have to upgrade to PHP-Fusion 7, and after you have done that, you can upgrade from PHP-Fusion 7 to Pimped Fusion.
SEO Url-Rewrite
Here are some instructions which are very important for url-rewrite. Read them before you activate the url-rewrite option in Pimped-Fusion:

1. You must be sure that the extension module mod_rewrite is activated on your webserver. If you enable the url-rewrite option in Pimped-Fusion, but the module mod_rewrite is not activated on your webserver, your whole website won't work anymore.

2. Configurate your .htaccess file in the root folder of your Pimped-Fusion software:
a) Rename the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess
b) If you are running the Pimped-Fusion software in the root folder of your domain (for example your-domain.com or mysubdomain.domain.com), you can skip this step.
But if you are running the software in a sub-folder of your domain (like yourdomain.com/my_folder/pimped-fusion/ ), you need to open the file with your text-editor and look for those lines of code:

RewriteBase /
#If you are not running this script in your root-folder:
#RewriteBase /your_folder/


and change those lines to:

#RewriteBase /
#If you are not running this script in your root-folder:
RewriteBase /your_folder/


Of course /your_folder/ has to be the folder in which you are running the software!

3. Now you can login on your site as administrator and change the settings for seo url-rewrite in the system administration of Pimped-Fusion.
