Various questions & trouble shooting tips around installing ProjectPier

You will need to manually update data into database. Open users table and find your administrator user (by username). Update that row and set:

token: 0a92df346e3a833cae214d65af35e69b3cf4e5ab

salt: 6d093346fa02f

twister: 4982716305

At the moment, the only way to modify the GUI, including what tabs are visible, is to modify the code directly.

One easy way to remove one specific tab is to edit one of two files: company_website.php or project_website.php. Both of them are located in /application/helpers/.

The maximum file size is set in php.ini in two different variables:

post_max_size
upload_max_filesize

So, go ahead and edit the php.ini file look for these two variables and put the new limit you want to have. Save the file (upload it to your server if necessary) and restart Apache.

ProjectPier will display the lower value of the two, so you need to edit both values.

First of all, check that your host support ProjectPier's system requirements, or if there's a setting that you need to enable in order for it to work.

If they do support the requirements, but ProjectPier is still not working then do the following:

To install another language you have to do two easy steps:

1. Download the desired language from the Translations page and extract it into "/language" folder.
You should have a folder whose name is the language locale code: en_us for American English, de_de for German, es_ar for Argentinian Spanish and so on, and a file called en_us.php or de_de.php, etc.

2. Open the "/config/config.php" file and set the value of the DEFAULT_LOCALIZATION option to the country code of the language you have unpacked in the "/language" folder (e.g. de_de for the German translation).

Unpack the files to a temporary space on your hard drive.

Upload the files to your web server in the directory /projectroot/public/assets/themes/ where projectroot is the root directory of your ProjectPier installation.  If you do not know how to do this, see your system administrator.

Log into your ProjectPier installation and select: Administration > Configuration > General

Select your new theme from the drop-down menu and click the "Save" button
