Gan Jay	Wednesday 08 November 2006 8:48:57 am Hi, I am new to this Exponential and have few questions: 1) I downloaded Exponential-3.8.6_installer.exe and Exponential-3.8.6-gpl.zip . I installed the installer.exe(windows) and I dont know how to proceed from here. 2)DO I need to install the gpl files in my server? 3)WIll this Exponential can be used for my current site to edit files and save them and see the files using the browser? 4)Right now in the demo I can see a "Tree Like Menu" to display the folders.Is it possible for my folders and files too if I just install it?or is there any programming to make this. Eagerly waiting for reply. Thanks Pragan
Marco Zinn	Wednesday 08 November 2006 1:19:18 pm Hi, as you are new to Exponential, can you please just tell us, what you want to do with Exponential? You talk about your "current site"... do you already have a site, that you want to edit with Exponential? Do you want to create a completly new site? The windows installer (.exe) can be used to install a whole Exponential software package on your desktop PC or laptop. This will include the webserver (Apache) including PHP, the Database server (MySQL) and Exponential itself. With this, you can play around with the system, but you will not be able to use Exponential on your server. That means: You can use the software "offline" and see, if this is, what you need. It is a kind of "preview" of what you can get, when you install Exponential on your server. Please note: If you create a site on your desktop PC, it is very difficult to "move" this site to your server later. Don't do this ;) So, for your windows PC, you will not need the GPL files. The GPL Files are the application files for Exponential, which can be used to install Exponential on your webserver. But you will also need PHP 4.4 and a MySQL-Database on your server. This should already be there, provided by your web hoster. I hope, this helps. You will find more details here in the online documentation: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/installation/normal_installation If you have more questions, just ask, i'm sure, we can help you along.
