Download the zip, to your computer
Extract the zip

You can edit the file in /admin folder called config.inc with notepad or your favorite editor.

at the top you will see the database confuration settings, they will look like this:

$GB_DB["dbName"] = "guestbook";
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";
$GB_DB["user"] = "guestbook";
$GB_DB["pass"] = "9D3E1C902A";

You need to set up a SQL database, with install.php or I just goto cPanel and

Add New Database
Add A USER
Add the user to the database

make a folder for your guestbook such as /guestbook and upload all files to that folder

chmod the folder permissions:

public - 777
tmp - 777

run the install.php from your browser. It will ask you for the dabase info. Your host name is usually localhost.

login to the admin area

username: test
password: 123

and setup the admin password 1st, save, and close it. Open it again then login with your new admin password, then seup the other features.

IMPORANT Disable the HTML or your guestbook will not last long if you post your URL here

thats the basics, just read the install file in /docs and follow it carefully you should be ok so long as the database can connect, that info must be right or guestbook will not launch.

Hope that helps feel free to pm me or ask
