Shared Webhosting

This guide will guide you through the installation of ThemeParkPanel on a shared webhosting.

It assumes your hosting is using DirectAdmin. If your hosting does not use DirectAdmin, please ask your hosting to do specific things if you are unsure.

1. Creating the MySQL database

1. Click on MySQL Management under Account Manager in the left sidebar.

2. Click on Create New Database on the right sidebar.

   

3. Fill in the details. Think of a name for the database and user, like themeparkpanel. It's recommended to generate a strong password.

   

   :::info Make sure to safe the entered details somewhere, because you need them later! :::

4. Click on the name of the database. Then add % to the Access Hosts. Click on Add New. This makes sure your Minecraft server can also access the database.

   

5. Open phpMyAdmin (most of the time this can be found under Extra Features in the sidebar). Click on the name of your database in the sidebar. Then click on Import in the top menu. Click on Choose file and upload the provided ThemeParkPanel.sql file. Finish by clicking on Import.

   

2. Creating an email account

1. Click on E-mail accounts under E-mail Manager in the left sidebar. Then click on Create Account in the right sidebar.
2. Fill in the details. Think of a name for the email account, like panel. It's recommended to generate a strong password.

3. Uploading the files

You need remote file transfer software to upload the files to your webhosting. You can use for example Filezilla or WinSCP. This guide assumes you have WinSCP.

1. Click on New Site. Then enter the details of your webhosting account. If you are unsure what to use, contact your hosting. Then click on Login.

   

2. Select the folder with the name of your domain name. Then upload the files in the Non-SSH zip file.

3. Copy the .env.example file and rename the copy to .env.

4. Start configuring your panel by opening the .env file.

   • Change APP_URL to the URL of your panel
   • At DB_ change the credentials to the database details created above.
