Hello guys. I would like to know if there are websites or ebooks that can help me learn and understand how to install web scripts like directory scripts via control panel? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Normally every script comes with a ReadMe file which contains information on how to install the script. Read that beafore starting installation.
YIAM is right, read the readme, if there is a step you do not understand then you should probably ask here how to do it. Some of the stuff in script installation sounds really scary, but most of the time it is just something really simple.
Script installs today are very simple. Alot of the times you just need to upload all the files to your web server and run an "install.php" file or something like that. Other times you will need to edit a "config.php" file in a text editor with your database username and password. (Such as for Wordpress install) The readme text files cover all the steps. Don't be afraid to make a mistake.
