1. Setting up your MySQL and FTP server - top

This script requires PHP 5 and MySQL.

Now, first thing you want to do, is to make sure you create a MySQL database along with an user for it (IMPORTANT NOTE: Copy somewhere your mysql username, and password, as you will need them later), and setup your FTP server for the domain where the script will be installed.

So your requirements are:

A) A MySQL database + MySQL user
B) Domain name + FTP server.

2. Upload process - top

1. The first step is to upload the content inside the folder "Script" (IMPORTANT NOTE: Upload what's inside the folder Script, not the script folder) into your public_html folder or into your default FTP root folder.
2. The second thing is to upload into your MySQL database using the IMPORT function available in MySQL one of the .sql files from the folder called "MySQL". (you have two files, one called "40,000" and the other "MySQL", the 40,000 contains 40.000 domains indexed already, the other one is empty)

3. Installation process - top

Now, after you uploaded everything, you can start the installation process.

Changes inside Script

1. With a text editor (e.g.: Notepad), open the following file located inside the 'Script/includes/' folder: config.php.
   Now, replace what's inside the brackets (e.g.: 'YOURDBNAME') with your MySQL settings, you should have something like this:

   		$conf['user'] = 'YOURDBUSER';
   		$conf['pass'] = 'YOURDBPASS';
   		$conf['name'] = 'YOURDBNAME';
   		

   save and exit.

Now, after you finished the steps above, upload the edited file config.php to includes folder from FTP.

4. Configuration of the script - top

Changes inside the Admin Panel

1. You can change the AdSpots codes by loggin in into your Admin Panel
2. You can change the title of your installation by loggin in into your Admin Panel
3. You can change the Admin password by loggin in into your Admin Panel
4. You can delete the Top 15 keywords by loggin in into the Admin Panel

5. Massive Crawling - top

Note, that this method will take time, for example if you insert 20.000 domains, it might take up to a day to crawl all of them.

How to use it

1. First thing you have to do, is to open crawler.php with a text editor
2. On line 16, you have $url = array('WEBSITE.com', 'WEBSITE.net', 'WEBSITE.org');
3. So what you have to do, is to insert a list of websites separated by commans and ecapse each domains with ' (apostrophe), this method is also know as Array.
4. Save the file, and execute it in your browser.
