   and all other images files in Binary mode using  your FTP program
   to a the folder you want normally called "app" off your public_html or httpdocs or htdocs or to the root html
   folder, you can install under any folder you want or even under the site root folder.
   
   Eexamples for installation folders on your server:
   
   /public_html/app
   
   /httpdocs/app
   
   /htdocs/app
   
   /www/app

    this assuming your installation folder is app, change it in the url above and use your real domain name.

    then add that user to the database and give it full privilages.

    http://www.yourdomain.com/app
    
    
    of course if you installed on the root folder you should use the link:
    
    
    http://www.yourdomain.com
