Preparation for launch (2-3 hours)

Pre-Installation. Required Information

  1. Order confirmation call (required for first purchase)

  2. Server requirements verification during installation on your server. If you are using Dating Pro hosting, you can skip this step as everything is preconfigured.

    1. FTP access details on your server:

      1. Host

      2. Login

      3. Password

    2. Control panel access or database details

    3. Installation preferences

  3. Access to your payment system, or you can connect it yourself.

  4. Domain name for installation

Choosing a domain and hosting

To build a website you will need both a domain name and web hosting account. Web hosting and domain hosting are two different services. For the full operation of the site, you need both of them, ordered and paid separately.

A domain is the name of a website on the Internet.

The main task of a domain is to direct site visitors to the IP address of the server where the site is hosted. When you enter a domain name in the browser address bar, the browser uses the DNS system to convert the domain name into the IP address of the server, after which it uses the received IP address directly to the server - sends a request and receives a response to it. The response to the request may be site pages, images, or other data.

The domain is also responsible for mail servers to accept incoming email, and can be used for other purposes, such as confirming ownership of a domain or a website.

If you want to cover different audiences, geographical locations and niches by launching different domains, then you need to use Multi domain service.

Firstly, we need the following:

  • a registered domain name you'll be using for your site;

  • access to your domain registrar account to link it to our server.

Alternatively, you can link the domain yourself by changing the DNS (domain nameservers) to the following:

ns1.pilotteam.net
ns2.pilotteam.net

FAQ

Can I use my own domain name?

Sure.

Installing the platform

1. Download the ZIP archive with the software files from the link that we’ve sent you.
Upload the archive to your server and decompress it there. Mind the available server space.

Alternatively, you can unpack the archive on your local computer and upload the files to the server. Any FTP client will do.

Note 1: Make sure to use Binary transfer mode during upload.

Note 2: If you decide to upload the decompressed archive, check for hidden files and folders. They all need to go to your server.

2. Create an empty MySQL database and add a user to this database. Database user should have full rights because the script will use this user’s parameters to populate the database with tables and data.

​Note: We recommend making a backup copy of your website database at least once a month, to be on the safe side.

3. Set 0777 permissions to following directories:

/application/views/flatty/sets/*

/application/views/gentelella/sets/*

/temp/*

/uploads/*

* means recurse into subdirectories and apply to directories

Note: You will also be prompted to change file permissions to files /application/config/install.php, /config.php along the way. Click ‘Refresh’ when you are done to update the info.

4. Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/ (where www.yourdomain.com is your domain name connected to the server). You will be taken to the installation page.

How can I install Dating Pro on my local server?

Installing a software product on a local server may be a good temporary solution if you have not yet acquired a hosting account, or if you plan to customize your site before going live, or just don’t have an internet connection that is reliable enough.

To install and run a PHP/MySQL script (such as PG Dating Pro) on your local computer, you need to set up a PHP development environment first. Install and configure the Web server, the PHP engine, and the MySQL database server separately, or you can use one of the ready AMP packages, AMP standing for Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

Provided that you use Windows OS, you may get interested in one of the following AMP packages: XAMPP, or WampServer.

This video gives an instruction on how to install XAMPP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdvVKywGlc0

This is a tutorial on how to install WampServer:

​After you are done installing the local server, proceed by downloading the product files as a ZIP archive to your computer and unpacking them into the destination folder (usually it is ‘www’). Then you will be able to start the product installation in your browser following the regular instructions.

Let us know if you have any questions, we’ll be glad to assist.

How can I install a module/add-on?

This is an instruction on how to install modules (add-ons) on your dating website.

1. You will have received a personal link from our Customer Service team to download the add-on files.

2. Download the archive with the files and unpack it.

3. Upload the contents of the archive on your FTP server, into the root directory of the site.

Overwrite the files and directories if prompted to.

ftp-list

4. Go to the administration panel of your site > Modules > Modules management (/admin/start/mod_login/).

You will find the login and password for this section in file /application/config/install.php on your server, lines 4 and 5:

$config[“install_login”] = “login”;

$config[“install_password”] = “password”;

5. Once inside, go to ‘Enable modules’ section (/admin/install/enable_modules) and click ‘Install’ to install the corresponding add-on.​

enable-modules

6. Click ‘Finish’, and you are done.

module-installation-finished


Tips

a) Installed add-ons are listed in section ‘Installed modules’ (/admin/install/modules).

b) You can disable any add-on by deleting it from the list. You will be able to enable it again at any later time.

c) Please note that you will not be able to delete a module that other modules depend upon. Read more on that in the article Modules : Modules management.

How much does it cost to install a module/add-on?

Installation of a ready module/add-on is free of charge.

If you would like to create a new module, according to the specification you provide, extra costs will apply. Please contact sales@datingpro.com to receive a free estimate.

The received files for the old version are missing files, and I see a blank screen

Answer: Files may be missing if the archive was extracted in the cPanel file manager and hidden files were not displayed. In this case, files like `.env` and `.htaccess` might be lost during copying.

A blank page can be due to various reasons. You need to enable error reporting in the `config.php` file and possibly also on the server if it is turned off there.

Please send access details, and I will check what the issue might be.

What’s the difference between CodeIgniter and WordPress for Dating projects?: Pros and Cons

CodeIgniter is ideal for those who want flexibility, high performance, and control over their project, and are willing to invest in development, especially for large-scale solutions.

WordPress** is better suited for small to medium businesses where quick deployment, ease of use, and access to ready-made solutions are important.

CodeIgniter (PHP Framework)

Pros:

1. **Flexibility and Control**: CodeIgniter offers complete freedom in development, allowing you to create dating solutions from scratch and customize everything to meet your needs.

2. **High Performance**: CodeIgniter is known for being lightweight and fast, which can be crucial for large-scale dating platforms.

3. **Security**: With CodeIgniter, you have full control over the code, making it less vulnerable to common security issues if managed properly.

4. **Great for Large Projects**: If you need a scalable solution, CodeIgniter provides the flexibility to adapt to future changes and the growth of your project.

Cons:

1. **Challenging for Beginners**: CodeIgniter requires solid PHP knowledge and programming skills, making it harder for newcomers.

2. **Fewer Ready-made Solutions**: Unlike WordPress, there are fewer ready-made plugins or themes, so much of the work needs to be developed from scratch.

3. **Longer Implementation Time**: Developing a dating platform on CodeIgniter takes more time and effort compared to WordPress, where many tools are readily available.


WordPress (Content Management System)

Pros:

1. **Ease of Use**: WordPress is easy to set up and configure, especially with the WooCommerce plugin, allowing you to quickly launch a dating site without deep technical knowledge.

2. **Large Number of Plugins and Themes**: There is a vast selection of ready-made solutions, including themes and plugins, which significantly speeds up development.

3. **Community and Support**: A huge community of developers, forums, and documentation is available to help you find solutions or get assistance.

Cons:

1. **Limited Flexibility**: WordPress has structural limitations, and if you plan to heavily customize the site, it can become a challenge.

2. **Performance and Load**: WordPress can be slower, especially with a large number of plugins, if not properly optimized.

3. **Security**: WordPress’s popularity makes it a frequent target for hackers, especially if outdated plugins or themes are used.

4. **Scalability Challenges**: For large projects and complex dating sites, WordPress may become less efficient, requiring more resources to scale.
