This might help, these are instructions from another user on our forum.
Bluehost
1)download the new version of prosper202, version 1.3.2
2)Unzip the contents of the downloaded file and save it to your hard drive, anywhere will do just remember where
3)Login into your hosting account, in this case my bluehost account
4)In the cPanel locate your "MySQL databases" area. Click on it
5)inside you will see "new database". Create a new database example - "examp_prosper202" or whatever you want to name it.
6)Next you will need to assign a username to that database, in this example i will use my forum name "examp_tchrist"
7)Once you assign a username it will take you to a "Manage User Privileges" area, Click on the "all privileges" checkbox. You are done with the Cpanel for the time being:)
8)Now the tricky part - remember where you unzipped the prosper202 file? good, open up that file from your harddrive. Locate the "202-config-sample" and double click on it. You will get something that looks like this -
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
$dbname = 'putyourdbnamehere';
$dbuser = 'usernamehere';
$dbpass = 'yourpasswordhere';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$mchost = 'localhost';
There is more info in file on the right side, I have deleted from this example. Now you will take the Database and Username that you created in steps 5&6 and insert them in this "202-config-sample" file. Once changed it should look like this -
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
$dbname = 'examp_prosper202'; The data base you created
$dbuser = 'examp_tchrist'; The username you created
$dbpass = '123456'; The Password you created with the username
$dbhost = 'localhost'; Don't mess with this
$mchost = 'localhost'; Don't mess with this
Now, once you have changed the above in the Php file, Save it in the prosper202 file as "202-config". You can now delete the other 202-config-sample file if you wish to keep things neat.
Almost there!
9)You will need a dedicated domain for the rest of the install. example www.dedicateddomain.com (or .info, .org, .net, doesn't matter)
10)Open your FTP client to upload all of the files to your server, I use fileZilla!
11)connect to your server and locate the domain you just purchased (www.dedicateddomain.com) in the "public_html" section.click on it.
12)now the easy part - Locate and select all of the files INSIDE the prosper202 file that you saved to your harddrive. Highlight everything inside the file and upload those files into your domain, www.dedicateddomain.com. Make sure you select your "transfer type" to Binary. You can do this at the top of filezilla in the "transfer" tab.
13)Once all of the files have been upload simply go to your domain, www.dedicateddomain.com. Your Done!
14)to finish the install fill in the other little pieces of informaion (email, password, username etc.) and click install.
15) Start tracking with the best of them!!!
I should note that this was an install for my PC. I assume uploading with a MAC is just as easy. Doing the above with make sure you don't get those pesky "fatal errors" that so many people get when uploading. Feel free to reply with any other tips and tricks!
