Basic configuration

Before uploading the webyep-system folder to your web server, you should set up the WebYep configuration. Most importantly perhaps, you should set the username and password. Whenever a user wants to change the website's content, he or she has to log in with username and password (by clicking the logon button on a web page). This username and password are the first configuration settings you should take care of.

The configuration settings are stored in a text file named config-inc.php inside the webyep-system folder. To edit the configuration file, open it in any text editor.

Note: The configuration file is UTF-8 encoded to display special characters correctly. Some text editors tend to add an invisible character sequence at the start of a UTF-8 file when saving it: The UTF-8 BOM (Byte Order Mark) will, unfortunately, break the configuration file (PHP then refuses to send HTTP headers). Please make sure to switch off this feature in your editor or use an editor that does not add the BOM.

Username and password

These options determine who can log in to WebYep. You should at least set the administrator's password.

$webyep_sAdminName

This is the primary editor's username (master login). The Administrator can edit every WebYep field.

$webyep_sAdminPassword

The Administrator's password.

To set up the username and password, change the content between the quotes in this block of the configuration file:

$webyep_sAdminName = "admin";
$webyep_sAdminPassword = "test";

Please note that both username and password are case sensitive! A username can either be a name or an email address.

For the password, use something unique, that is too difficult for someone else to guess. This will help keep your website more secure and prevent a hacker changing your web page content!

If you need to allow multiple people to login and control what pages they are allowed to edit, please see the multiple logins guide.
