Setup Your MySQL Database
- The Affiliate Software requires that you create a MySQL database and MySQL database user before installing the affiliate sofware. You would normally do this through your web hosting control panel, such as cPanel, Godaddy, or Plesk.
- If you need help creating the database, please consult your hosting provider. Alternatively, you can contact us and we can do the installation for you for a small fee.
Upload Your Affiliate Manager Files
- Use an FTP software such as Filezilla to upload the files to your web hosting account. You will need to have your FTP login infor for your hosting account handy.
- Once you have uploaded all the files, you can run the web-based portion of the affiliate installation process.
