There are two components to Worship Assistant OE - the desktop component and the web server component. The desktop component consists of a single DLL file, which the install program will place in the folder on your PC in which Worship Assistant is currently installed. The presence of the this DLL file will add additional functionality to the desktop program, specifically the ability to synchronize data with the Online Edition.
Online Installation
These following instructions assume you know how to place files on your web server or web hosting service. If the server is on a local computer or intranet, this may involve just a simple file copy. Typically, however, you will need to use an FTP program to upload the files to a remote server.
When you run the install program, a folder on your PC called waoe will be created in the folder in which Worship Assistant is currently installed. This folder contains the files that need to be copied to your web server. You will want to place the Worship Assistant OE files in a separate subdirectory (folder) under your document root (the main location of your web files). We recommend you name this directory waoe.
Before uploading, however, there is one additional step you need to take. Open the file config.php in a text editor such as Notepad. You will need to change the following four lines to match the configuration of the MySQL server running on your web server:
//hostname is almost always 'localhost'
$hostname = "localhost";
//change the next three lines to match your MySQL server
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "wa";
If you are using a web hosting service, you will need to obtain these values from them. Typically, these values are available from the control panel provided by the service.
When you download or purchase Worship Assistant OE, you will be given a license code. That code must be entered in config.php as well:
//enter the license code given to you when you downloaded or purchased the program
$license = "";
Make sure each of the values entered in this file are enclosed in quotes, and that there is a semicolon at the end of each line. Also, make sure there are no characters or lines after the final ?> in the file.
