Installation

Install instructions

  1. Create a database or have one (can be non-empty) database ready.
  2. Upload the unzipped files to the public folder where you want to have your blog at. (Make sure your zip utility and ftp includes empty directories, check that assets/plugins directory exists, for example)
  3. Navigate to that folder with a browser
  4. You should be redirected to http://www.example.com/theFolderWhereYouUploaded/admin/setup/setup.cfm
  5. Follow the wizard instructions
  6. It is recommended that you delete the folder admin/setup after you finish installing your blog

-Note: Make sure your directory is writeable by CF / Lucee

 

Requirements

Your server needs ColdFusion 8 or Lucee 5 or above and a MS SQL or MySQL database.

Mango makes use of the createObject() function, cffile, cfdirectory and cfthread (in ColdFusion 8) tags, so they must be enabled. Many plugins also make use of cfschedule, so it works better when that is enabled.
