Installation Requirements
PHP 5.3 A database with the PHP PDO extension enabled
Setup
Upload the downloaded files on a web hosting of your choice Give write permissions to /cache/ and /public/db/ folders using an FTP client or a file browser your hosting provides (usually chmod 755 or 777 if that doesn’t work) Open your browser and navigate to the site You should see the Curly database setup page
Database setup
Driver: your database type (most commonly MySQL or PostgreSQL)
Host: the database server host (usually 127.0.0.1, if not, consult your hosting)
Username, password: database user and password that your host should provide
Database: name of the database you want to use
Prefix: this will be prepended to all of the table names that the script creates in the database, this is useful if you only have one database and use it for multiple sites
Once you finish the database setup, you will be prompted to create a user account. The account you create now is the most privileged user on the site, it has access to the administration and can create other administrators. Once you finish this step, you’ll be on the home page logged in as the owner.
