EnterPrise Payroll Systems (EPS) - INSTALLATION

PRECONDITIONS FOR INSTALL

 1. You need to have Apache Running as a Web Server 

 2. Make sure you have PHP (www.php.net) installed.  We recommend version 4.0.2
    or higher.  EPS has been successfully tested to work with 4.0.2. 

 3. Make sure you have MySQL (www.tcx.se) version 3.22.x or higher installed. 
  
INSTALLATION

 1. Download the EPS Tarball (payroll.tar.gz) in the web root directory (usually /usr/local/apache/htdocs/)
 
 2. Untar the Software
 
     > tar -xzvf payroll.tar.gz
     
     This will create a directory 'payroll' with all the required files for EPS
 
 3.  Database Setup. If you dont already have a database where you will be using the EPS, create
     a database for this software. For the sake of this installation, we'll use 'payrolldb' as 
     our EPS database.  

     > cd payroll
     
     You will find the file 'payroll.sql' in this directory. This file contains the commands
     to create the tables in your new database.
     
     > /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql payrolldb -uusernamae -ppassword<payroll.sql
     
     This command will set up the databse for EPS.
     
     Now change the settings in the 'datacon.php' file for database connectivity.
     
     
4.   Systems Settings
     Edit 'datacon.php' to set up database connectivity. Change the database name, 
     database user and database password to suit your system.
     
     Edit 'settings.php' to change general systems settings. Change the URL for EPS,
     the absolute path for the system

5.   Now EPS is ready to use. On a web browser, go to the admin directory of EPS and log-in as
     login    : admin
     password : eps
     
     and you can start creating new departments, adding employees etc. to the system
