How To Install And Setup Noah's Classifieds

By Vincent Saunders


In this article I will explain the basic Noah's Classifieds features, show you how to install this script and how to setup it to run properly. First of all let's mention that Noah's Classifieds script is written in PHP can be used for free. Noah's Classifieds is one of the most popular classified ads tool on the Internet. Using this great script you can create unlimited categories and subcategories, upload images for the categories and the advertisements, define variable fields for the advertisements per categories etc.

Before you start the installation process, ensure that your web host offers PHP support (Php4 script module is necessary) and MySQL database. If you are not sure which version of PHP your web hosting provider currently uses, contact their help desk and ask them first.

In the first step visit developers website and go to download section. Even thought there is a "Prices" section on their website you can download the script for free. You pay only in case if you need script customization. Download the *.zip or *.tgz archive and extract it on your hard disk. Use your favorite ftp program (Total Commander will do) to upload these files to your web host. Now point your browser to install.php file. The installation process will start. Follow the step by step instructions on the screen. The script will ask you for mysql username, password etc. and will create MySQL tables. The installer will try to make necessary changes in your config.php file. In case your web host doesn't allow this you have to open config.php in your text editor, edit it manually and then upload to your web host.

Besides playing poker as much as you can, it is also important to watch the game as well. I would recommend watching poker on TV, going to the casino and just watching and many online casinos will give you the option of watching a game. This will give you the chance to practice your skills of reading people. The more you watch the better you will become at noticing those small involuntary things we all do that tell others what we are thinking. An example of this is taught to the police when they are in basic training. When trying to come up with a lie most people will unconsciously look up and to the left. This means if you ask your child if they did their homework and they look up and too the left before telling you they had no homework there is a good chance they are not telling the truth.

OK, let's suppose the installation process was successfully finished. You can access your admin interface now to do all necessary settings. The most important step will be setting up categories and subcategories. In the beginning you will see four default categories. You can edit them or delete and create a new one. When done you can consider to change the lookup of the script. Go to "i" folder and replace the Noah's Classifieds banner (the banner image is called headpic.gif), edit header and footer, css styles (edit and upload the style.css file to apply changes) or create brand new template. There is a file called template.php. Edit this file to give your site new, more attractive look.

5) Never open SPAM email. Spam email is too easy to copy and use to send a nasty virus. I'm not saying spammers send viruses, but virus senders/creators do use spam-like messages to send their viruses, Trojans, and internet worms around.
