Additional recommendations for SeoToaster CMS

Turning off Magic Quotes

We also recommend you TURN OFF Magick Quotes to avoid '\' in templates when loading themes or modifying templates inline.

To do so, create a php.ini file with the lines bellow (some hosting providers such as GoDaddy require that you create a custom php5.ini and place it in the root of your domain).

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

Using CHMOD

Changing file/folder permission on a Unix/Linux system is called a "CHMOD". You can find an explanation of file permissions here. Giving them "write permission" is called "doing a CHMOD 755" or "a CHMOD 775", depending on the host.

Using CHMOD 777

Some hosts might require you to use CHMOD 777, although it is not recommended for anything more than this one-time need.

If you have to use CHMOD 777 in order to install SeoToaster CMS, make sure to switch to a safer setting (775, 755 or even 644) once you are done installing.

Ioncube loader

SeoToaster CMS uses Ioncube anytime you need to add plugins. Ioncube is installed on most web servers by default, but do not worry: our installer will automatically check for it, and tell you if it's missing.
