Uploading the Software
At this point we have downloaded and unpacked the Delightful Labor package, created our database, and initialized the new database. Now it is time to upload the software to our web hosting account.
Note that there are several ways to do this (via ftp, for example). In this example, we are going to use the cPanel File Manager to help us upload the software.
From the main cPanel screen, click on "File Manager" under "Files":
We select "Web Root" for our initial view:
Click on the public_html directory to expand the view:
Now select "New Folder". We will create a folder to contain the Delightful Labor software and be accessible to you from your web browser.
In this example, we are creating a folder called "gofreedonia", but you can name it anything you like. You may want to keep the name simple (no blanks or funny characters) because this name will later become part of the web address. We'll show you how it all ties together later, but for now, we will create a folder called "gofreedonia":
When we are returned to the main File Manager menu, we see our new folder.
Double-click on the folder icon:
We now see our new, empty directory.
Now let's upload the Delightful Labor software package. Click on the "Upload" link:
We are asked to specify the upload file. Click "Choose File":
You will now see a screen that allows you to select the upload file. Select the zip file that you recently downloaded from SourceForge:
After the upload is complete, click the link to return you the File Manager screen:
There's our uploaded file!
Click the file to highlight it:
Now click "Extract" to un-zip the Delightful Labor files.
The default path will be the directory you recently created. Click "Extract File(s)":
In just a few seconds, all the files will be unpacked.
We now see a new directory called "delightful" containing the software package.
