There are a lot of questions about our install profile package. So in this forum, I'll guide you how to install a site with our install profile package.

In all our theme packages, we have the fullsize package file. When you install our full size package, you'll have the new site look exactly like our demo site. Follow the steps below to install:

  • Step 1: Download the full_size_package.zip file.
  • Step 2: Extract and upload it in public_html folder of your account. You can do that through an FTP client like FileZilla or via cPanel -> File Manager -> Upload file(s). This way, after the installation is completed, the script will appear once your write something like http://yourdomainname.com in your web browser. Or you can create a subfolder there and upload the file in it. The Drupal installation will be available at: http://yourdomainname.com/subfolder.
  • Step 3: Create a MySQL database for Drupal.
  • Step 4: Navigate to the URL of your Drupal site to run the installation (for example http://yourdomainname.com/)
  • Step 5: Copy the /public_html/drupal_installation_folder/sites/default/default.settings.php file to /public_html/drupal_installation_folder/sites/default/settings.php.
  • Step 6: Enter the database details for the database which you have created in Step 3. Click on the "Save configuration" button to continue.
  • Step 7: The installation procedure is finished. Alter back the file permissions for the settings.php file and enter the site information along with the admin account's details. Click on the Save and Continue button.
  • Step 8: Well done! The installation is completed and you can proceed to your web site.
