Secureloads Installation

  1. After your purchase, you will receive the instant download link to get the Secureloads latest version zip file. Download the zip file to your computer.
  2. Extract all the files from this zip archive on your computer.
  3. Create a new MySQL database at your website for Secureloads. If you already have a database, and you can't or don't want to create another one specifically for Secureloads, Secureloads can easily make use of this existing database. The names for database tables starts with Secureloads's own prefix thus they do not interfere with other applications.
  4. Rename the conf.rename_it.php to conf.php, then open this new conf.php file in your text editor and enter your MySQL database login information. The file already contains some sample values so it will be easy.
  5. Create the folder path on your web server where the your digital goods files will be physically stored. Please note that this is not the path where Secureloads will be installed, this is for the files that your will be selling online with Secureloads. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to put them outside of your web-accessible path! Secureloads should be able to have write access to this directory, for this you will need to make chmod 777 command for this folder through your FTP client.
  6. In the conf.php enter the full path to your storage directory created in the previous step. This will be looking something like this: 
    define( 'STORAGE_DIR', "/home/bobby/files" );
  7. Decide in which directory you will be installing Secureloads on your website. You would probably like to create a new directory. Upload all the files from the zip archive keeping their directory structure there.
  8. Rename the index.rename_it.php to index.php.
  9. Point your browser to the web page where you have uploaded the files. You will be transferred to the setup screen. Please follow the instructions on the screen.
  10. Delete the setup.php folder on your website. Now your Secureloads online digital goods selling software is ready for use.
  11. To make Secureloads view as other parts of your website, simply edit the index.php file. You would most probably need to add your header and footer HTML code.
  12. Next please review the Configuration & Using part.
