To fully install NueQuiz, you first need access-information to a database on your server (we recommend that this database be created exclusively for NueQuiz, but it is safe to use any existing one). You will need: the database name, the username (login), the password and the host location (usually this is "localhost").
To install NueQuiz Pro:
1. Download the quiz package [zip or tar.gz format]
2. Extract the file; it should contain the folder "nuequiz", upload that folder to server (place it where you want to be accessing it from; ie. "home_dir/apps/nuequiz/").
3. (This step does not apply if your server is running a Windows-based operating system): In the newly uploaded folder (on the server), locate the file nuequiz/nq_lib/config.php: CHMOD that file to value 646. This will allow the installation script to save its configuration settings to the config.php file. If you are not familiar with CHMOD, it is usually done in one of the following ways:
* If you have command line access to the server (either through a physical terminal or through telnet or ssh), change to the <nuequiz_install_directory>/nq_lib directory on the server and type "chmod 646 config.php"
* Most graphical FTP clients include chmod functionality. Try connecting to your server through FTP, finding and right-clicking the config.php file. There should be a chmod option in the context menu (it may also be under 'properties' or 'permissions').
* Many web hosts offer a control panel utility which can be used to chmod files through a web interface
4. From a web browser, access the file "nuequiz/nq_install.php".
For example, if you uploaded to "home_dir/apps/nuequiz/", then you must go to "http://www.yourdomain.com/apps/nuequiz/nq_install.php".
5. The online installation script will guide you the rest of the way.
