This guide will walk you through the setup process and installation steps for eFront version 3.1.3. SiteGround and cPanel were selected as reference, but the procedure is pretty much the same for any hosting provider. The guide assumes you have some experience in using cPanel as well as setting up a domain. For the sake of the examples, we will use the “venakis.org” domain.

Note: SiteGround by default uses PHP 5.0.5, but it also supports 5.2.x. Although eFront will run normally with PHP 5.0.5, You are strongly recommended to set up server to use 5.2.x (for instructions, visit http://kb.siteground.com/article/How_to_have_different_Php__MySQL_versions.html)
Step 1: Upload and uncompress file.
1.1 Upload the eFront archive to the /public_html/ folder in the filesystem. “public_html” is the folder where requests are served by default.
1.2 Right click on the uploaded file, efront_3.1.3.zip and select “Extract”.
1.3 The extraction folder will be the current folder, “/public_html/”
1.4 After extracting the file, a folder named “efront/” must exist inside “/public_html/”
