    • All Files in the "templates sub-folders" to 666 (CHMOD 666)
    • Folder: "backup" to 777

The automatic installer will check all the necessary files and configures the connection to the database. After installation is complete, you can see the script on the demo page http://website.com/index.php. To access the administration Control Panel, you must run http://website.com/admin.php

NOTE: After successfully installed the Datalife Engine you must delete the file "install.php" from the server to prevent re-install which will overwrite the existing installed data.

Starting in DLE 9.5, the following htaccess files are required to set CHMOD (file permission) from 644 to 444
  • /templates/.htaccess
  • /uploads/.htaccess
  • /uploads/files/.htaccess
  • /engine/data/.htaccess
  • /engine/cache/.htaccess
  • /engine/cache/system/.htaccess
So you must set chmod for those .htaccess files otherwise you will be notification in Admin Control Panel, to set chmod, you can easily use ftp client software, but in some webhost are not allowed you to set chmod for htaccess, in that case you can set chmod using cPanel File Manager
