SP Zana

First of all, I would like to thank you for purchasing this theme. We’ve put in lots of love in developing this Prestashop theme and are excited that you’ve chosen this theme for your website. We hope you find it easy to use our theme. This documentation guides you through the main features of the theme and guides you how to use and customize the theme.

 

1 Preparations - Back to top

The PrestaShop e-commerce engine requires a MySQL database to store data. Prior to installing PrestaShop, please make sure you have already created a MySQL database. This can be done through your hosting control panel using the phpMyAdmin tool.

Please check the detailed tutorial on how to create a MySQL database. If any issues occur, please contact your hosting provider for further assistance. While installing your MySQL database, you will need to specify the database name, username, password and the database server. Remember these details as you will need them for PrestaShop installation.

2 Server Requirement - Back to top

Please make sure your hosting server meets the PrestaShop requirements:

  • System: Unix, Linux or Windows. Unix is highly recommended.
  • Web server: Apache Web server 1.3 or later, Microsoft’s IIS Web server 6.0 or later.
  • PHP 5.2* or later.
  • MySQL 5.0 or later.
  • At least 32 Mb of RAM on your server (64 Mb is comfortable, the more the better).

Note: If you can not install the theme/module, You need to increase the parameter “memory_limit=200M”; “max_execution_time=300″; “max_execution_time=1000″ & “upload_max_filesize=20M” in the file php.ini.

4 How To Download Pretashop - Back to top

To install PrestaShop, you need to download the PrestaShop engine package from the official website at prestashop

Just insert your name and e-mail into the Download box input and click the ‘Download’ button.

Please make sure your version of PrestaShop engine matches the template requirements (SP Zana Theme is Compatible with Pretashop version 1.6.x). All versions of PrestaShop are available at SourceForge.

5 How To Extract Files - Back to top

Once the PrestaShop engine package is downloaded, you will need to extract its files and folders from the archive.

This can be done with any archive manager like WinZip(PC), StuffitExpander(MAC), etc.

Please note: if your hosting control panel has the option to ‘Extract’ files, you can use it to extract the files directly on your server after the .zip file is uploaded.

6 How To Upload PrestaShop engine files - Back to top

If you have extracted the files locally to your computer, you will need to upload them to your hosting server.

This can be done using the hosting control panel File Manager or third party FTP Manager applications like FileZilla, TotalCommander, CuteFTP, etc.
