Setup build: setup-v1.1.25 — if this text is missing after upload, you are still on the old installer in a different folder.

Welcome — EcommSuite setup

Follow the steps below, then fill in the form. Use your business name — not the product title.

Before you start Create a MySQL database in cPanel

Open cPanel → MySQL Databases.
Create a database. Copy the full name shown afterward (it usually includes a prefix).
Create a user and password. Copy the full username.
Add the user to the database and tick ALL PRIVILEGES.

Host is almost always localhost. If a detail is wrong, you will see a clear message on this page.

1. Upload — In File Manager, open your domain’s Document Root (the folder that already contains this site’s install.php). Upload and extract there so files overwrite in place. Do not extract into a second folder named after your domain.

2. Confirm — After upload, this page must show a build marker like setup-v1.1.25 at the top. Or open /setup.php (rescue). If you still see the old “Install | EcommSuite” title with no marker, you are editing the wrong folder.

3. PHP — In cPanel → Select PHP Version, choose 8.1 or newer.

4. This form — Enter your full database details, company name, website address (starting with https://, no slash at the end), and the admin login you want to use.

5. If setup cannot create tables — In phpMyAdmin, select your database → Import → choose the SQL file from the database folder in your package → Go. Then tick “I already imported the database” below and submit again.

6. After success — Sign in to admin, then delete or rename the setup file for security.

Setup is not finished yet

No admin login yet. Your database is connected, but the admin user was not created. Open setup and submit again with your admin email and password.

Enter your database details below and click Install again. Nothing extra to download.

Step 1 Database MySQL host Database name (full cPanel name) Database user (full cPanel name) Database password I already imported the database / tables already exist (recommended for live shops)

Step 2 Your store Company / store name

Shown on your website — your business name.

Site URL (no trailing slash) Short description (optional) Subfolder (optional — leave blank if the site is at your domain root)

Step 3 Administrator Admin email (login) Admin password (min 8 characters) First name Last name

After setup, use Admin → Updates for backups. Need help? Contact support with your order number.
