Here's how to install sourcebans on your web space hosting account. You need to download the latest full package of sourcebans from the http://sourcebans.net/ website. Once you download the latest full package you need to unzip the files and have them ready for uploading to your webspace hosting account.

Creating the database...

First we are going to create the database for sourcebans. Login to your website control panel [Cpanel] and look for a icon that looks like the picture below called MySQL Databases.



Inside MySQL Databases you are going to create the database that's going to make sourcebans work on your webspace.



To create the database is going to take 3 steps.

1. You need to give your database a name.

2. You need to create a user name and a password for the database.

3. You need to add a user to the database by clicking on the button.

NOTE: Write this stuff down because you are going to need it later on in the installation process...



Your MySQL Account Maintenance should look like the picture above.

You have now finished with the MySQL Database installation part of source bans.

Config.cfg file...

You need to edit the config.php.template file to have the info that you used for the mysql database. Go to the web_upload folder of sourcebans and open config.php.template with wordpad.

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // The host/ip to your SQL server define('DB_USER', 'root'); // The username to connect with define('DB_PASS', 'Password'); // The password define('DB_NAME', 'sourcebans'); // Database name

Only edit the parts that are in BOLD with the info that you used to make the sourcebans database. Everything else can stay the same unless you need to change something go ahead. Once you are done rename the config.php.template file to config.cfg

Installing Sourcebans...

Now you need to decide where you would like to upload the source bans files. Do you want to upload it to a website or just have source bans as the website like i have at steam id Ban List? If you are planning to have a sourcebans as a website or already have a website in place then i would suggest installing source bans on a directory called "bans".

Connect to your webspace hosting account trough FTP and create a new folder called "bans" inside of the "public_html" directory. Now upload all the files that are inside of the web_upload folder to the "bans" folder you created in inside of the "public_html" directory.

Now that all the files are uploaded to the "bans" folder. You need to open your favorite internet browser.

Nice, you should edit your post though, steps to create mysql DBs will vary from host to host...

Thank YOU!

That is true but most shared hosting use cpanel as their default control panel.

Those cpanel pictures were taken when i was using cpanel but now i am on vps hosting using lxadmin control panel.

I seriously doubt you'll be able to do sourcebans with a host like that, just fyi.
