Unzip downloaded zipped file of Realm CMS, copy folder "Realm" to server's root.

Point browser to your site's Realm CMS directory/folder - for example http://YourDomain.com/Realm - you are to see working web site.

If Realm web sites would be installed inside "Realm" folder - no special changes are required to configuration files...

Download-able zipped Installation Pack includes 2 web sites (one pre-configured with Left menu and one pre-configured with Right menu) and one -- common for all Realm web sites administration web site (allocated in "_RealmAdmin" folder).

Starting form Realm CMS V.2.2 you can manage any number of web sites using one administration web site. Same time users web site code base now is maximally compact and actually all ASP code is concentrated inside one file - which wins some additional robustness...

Web sites folders (and files inside) are to have Read/Write permissions for Internet Guest Account (IUSR):

• _db
• cache
• properties
• userfiles

Necessary customization:

• Change 'Const WebSiteRoot' in "properties/site_config.asp" to yours web site root, as:
  Const WebSiteRoot="http://YourDomain.com/"

---

Security issues:

• Change name of database and 'Const Unique ID' in "properties/site_config.asp" to any complex string containing letters and digits - common for both
  • Best practice is to move database to secure folder (commonly "db") provided by your ISP which can not be accessed from the internet
    • In this case change Const DbFolderLocation to "out", as:
      Const DbFolderLocation="out"
      and, show full path in Const DbFolder, as:
      Const DbFolder="secure_folder"
• Change passwords for existing site users (Admin, Editor, Author) to complex string containing letters and digits 

---

Customization of Administration Wb Site:

• Change "inc_config.asp"in "_RealmAdmin/config" folder if installation folder would be changed
       Const DbFolderLocation="in" ' "out" for secure folder
       Const IntallationFolder="Realm" ' If ROOT then "."
       Const DbFolder="_DB" ' Database folder name
       Const Userfiles="userfiles"  ' Userfiles folder inside site folder
