It is important that your version of Symphony is 1.6.02 before attempting this.

1. Login to your Symphony account and download the latest version.
2. Extract the .tar.gz archive and upload its contents to your website.
3. Replace the workspace folder that comes with the archive with your own.
4. Run the install.php script.

• Symphony will not install while safe_mode is enabled, since this potentially cripples Symphony’s ability to write files.
• An XSLT Processor must be installed, such as Sablotron XSLT (PHP4) or LibXSLT (PHP5). If you encounter the following error message Your PHP Installation does not have an XSL processor available please install a compatible XSLT processor.

Table prefixes are a away of namespacing your tables, to avoid conflicts with existing Symphony tables. You can change this to whatever you wish.

Symphony needs write permissions over all files in the /workspace and /manifest directories. CHMOD these to allow PHP permission to write files, typically with 0755 or 0777. Set the permissions that you wish Symphony to use in the installer.

If something went wrong and you would like to reinstall Symphony, the quickest way is to do the following:

1. Backup your database and delete all Symphony-related tables.
2. Remove the /manifest directory.
3. Remove the .htaccess file in the root path.
4. Upload and run install.php from the root path. If you don’t have this file, it can be found in the Symphony archive which you can download from your account page.
5. After installing, import your old database data.

After the Symphony install is complete, you can access the Symphony backend via your web browser. If you installed Symphony in a directory other than the root ‘www’ directory, access the backend like this:

• http://www.yourdomain.com/<installdiretory>/symphony

If you installed Symphony in your server’s root ‘www’ directory, access the backend like this:

• http://www.yourdomain.com/symphony
