Note:
Quickstart packages are typically in the ZIP file format!
The specified methods also work on a virtual web server such as Xampp or Wamp.
Extract using your own script
Follow the steps below:
- Upload your Quickstart package to the desired directory on the web server!
Use an FTP client such as FileZilla for this (current version)! - Download the following script to your computer:
unzip.php - Open the unzip.php with a suitable editor such as Notepad ++, PSPad or similar editors!
- Change the name of the entered ZIP file by entering the exact name of your Quickstart package there! For example:
Previously: $filename = 'quickstart.zip';
Later: $filename = 'my-quickstart.zip'; - Save the unzip.php!
- Now upload the unzip.php into the same directory in which your Quickstart package is already located!
- Call up the script in your browser! Make absolutely sure to use the correct URL!
For example: www.example.com/unzip.php
The Quickstart package is now extracted on the web server. After a few seconds you will receive confirmation that the unpacking process was successful.
For security reasons, finally delete the unzip.php from your web server!
If the unpacking process is not successful, you will receive a corresponding warning.
Extract using kickstart.php
(The kickstart.php script can extract ZIP and JPA archives)
Follow the steps below:
- Upload your Quickstart package to the desired directory on the web server!
Use an FTP client such as FileZilla for this (current version)! - Download kickstart from the provider's website onto your computer:
kickstart - Unzip the kickstart ZIP on your computer!
- Now upload the unzipped files into the same directory in which your Quickstart package is already located!
(The language file does not necessarily have to be uploaded) - Call up the script in your browser! Make absolutely sure to use the correct URL!
For example: www.example.com/kickstart.php
While kickstart.php is running, a page appears with comments on kickstart:
- Click the link or hit the ESC key on your keyboard!
On the following page, your quickstart package is already listed under "Archive file". The settings not shown can usually remain unchanged.
- Click the start button!
The Quickstart package is now extracted on the web server. As soon as the process is completed, the following page appears:
- Quit kickstart.php by simply closing the browser tab!
(Do not start the installer anymore!)
The extraction of the Quickstart package is now complete.
For security reasons, finally delete the kickstart.php from your web server!
Hint: If you do not quit kickstart.php and instead click on "Run the Installer", the installation of the Quickstart package will start immediately!
