Installation

Before installation

1. Create an empty MySQL/MariaDB database.
2. Create or assign a database user with permission to create and modify tables.
3. Upload all files from DoorFall_Desk_v1.0.zip.
4. Have a valid DoorFall Desk DFD- license key ready.
5. Confirm the domain is using HTTPS.

Database fields

The installer asks for the database connection details supplied by your hosting provider:

• Database host — normally localhost, but use the host provided by your server.
• Database port — normally 3306 unless your host specifies another port.
• Database name — the empty database prepared for Desk.
• Database username — MySQL/MariaDB user allowed to access that database.
• Database password — password for the database user.

Administrator fields

Create the first Administrator account using your own name, email address and a strong password. This account controls settings, users, modules and licensing.

License key

Enter the DoorFall Desk license key for the domain. The key begins with DFD-. Initial activation is part of installation.

What the installer creates

The installer creates the core Desk schema, bundled module schemas, initial settings, the Administrator account and license state. Bundled modules are included with the script; they are not uploaded separately.

Successful installation

After installation you are taken to Staff Login. Sign in with the Administrator account created during installation.

Delete install.php

After confirming the installation works, delete install.php from the server.
