Installing VConsole is a pretty straight forward task. However, you should know that VConsole relies on some external libraries and software. Please take a look at the requirements before installing VConsole. Once you have made sure that you meet all the requirements, all you have to do is copy the package files to your web server, execute index.php in a web browser, and follow the steps. The wizard based installation walks you through the rest of the installation process. (Although the installation program does some checks to make sure that requirements are met, it does not do a full check on everything, so if something does not work as expected, you can either submit a support ticket or check the requirements again to make sure that you comply.)

So what happens when you execute index.php in a web browser?

• Since the config.php file does not yet exist, the program will take you through the installation of the program.
• System requirements are checked
• MySQL is contacted and the database structure is created
• FTP parameters are checked and verified.
• The config.php file is created
• You are finished and prompted to login.

The default login for VConsole is:
Username: admin
Password: password1

If you ever need to reinstall the application, all you have to do is delete the config.php file and run the index.php file again.
CAUTION: If you reinstall the application, then all the default MySQL tables will be deleted and recreated with default data. You will lose all your users, favorites and settings. Only do this in case the MySQL database is corrupt and you have no other choice. If you have a backup of your database, we recommend restoring your backup rather than reinstall to recreate the tables.
