How to install using Autoinstaller
Download the latest version that has "opencart" in the title from
http://code.google.com/p/vqmod
Using FTP, upload the "vqmod" folder from the zip to the root of your opencart store.
Be sure the vqmod folder and the vqmod/vqcache folders are writable (either 755 or 777).
Also be sure index.php and admin/index.php are writable.
If not sure which you need, first try 755.
If you get errors about permissions, then try 777.
Goto
http://www.yoursite.com/vqmod/install
You should get a success message. If not, check permissions above and try again
Load your store homepage and verify it works.
Using FTP, verify that there are new "vq" files in the "vqmod/vqcache" folder.
If yes, then you are ready to start downloading or creating vQmod scripts, otherwise ask for assistance.
Done!
DO NOT DELETE THE INSTALL FOLDER!
YOU MUST RUN THE INSTALLER EVERY TIME YOU UPGRADE OPENCART!!
THERE IS NO DANGER OF RE-RUNNING THE INSTALLER!
