Installation

Step 1: Go to the Geeklog download center and download the latest release.

Step 2: Create a fresh new database.

Step 3: Open the db-config.php file and complete it with your database host, name, username and password.

Step 4: Upload the files from the public_html directory on your webserver, and then upload the remaining contents of geeklog into the parent directory of your root web directory.

Step 5: Make sure that the logs/ directory AND the files in it have permissions of at least 775. You may need to make the permissions 777 if 775 isn’t working for you. For good measure, make sure the public_html/backend directory and the geeklog.rss file have the same 775 or 777 permissions.
