Normal installation
The normal installation method is the most common and recommended way of deploying eZ publish. It requires a system which already has the proper environment installed, most notably a web server and a database. The necessary requirements are explained in detail within the next section. A typical normal installation process consists of the following steps:
- Setting up / creating a database
- Downloading a packaged eZ publish distribution
- Unpacking the eZ publish distribution
- Initiating and going through the web based setup wizard
Once the web based setup wizard has completed, eZ publish will be ready for use.

Translating the docs?
Robert Heine ·
Hi
I'm really new to ezP and wonder why there is no translation of this documentation available (for example in german).
Wouldn't it be easy to set up something like a wiki, where volunteers can translate the original doc into other languages step by step?
I think there are a lot of people in this community, who would spend some time translating texts and such.
Greetings,
Robbie
WAY too complicated

Looks like this COULD be a pretty cool tool, but your installation instructions are horrible and this is way too complicated.
You should try REAL easy stems like.
1) Unzip and Upload all files to a specified folder on your webserver (ie. ezpub)
2) Configure your mySQL with supplied script
3) Run setup as follows. from a browser type http://www.yoursite.com/ezpub/index.php
etc etc
Found another CMS utility that works fine.

Too bad you didn't take the time to read a little bit - your loss.
I just downloaded the zip file, and put it on the site and ran the SETUP SCRIPT (just like you said you wanted) and it all worked perfectly fine - took about 10 minutes.
I admit the whole interface is too complicated for simple users and it seem like there will be a pretty steep learning curve and for the targeted users in my requirements I think it is too much BUT it looks like a great system with a lot of flexibility and for other sites I will definitely consider it (I haven't given up on it yet for my current needs).

Hi, translations only exist as contributions here:

The only thing missing from the automated setup wizard is that you have tro create your dedicated database by hand (using eg phpmyadmin or a command line client). All the rest is taken care for you.
Installation

Hello,
If anyone has any experience or advice it would be great:
I will be doing a new install on a server that has a website already running, and I have some coldfusion, asp and html running on that site. Will the software still recognize that it has to install? Should I just go directly to the folder in my URL will that work?
