Site URLs

Landing URL Main site in public_html (no trailing slash) Admin URL Separate subdomain for the admin package Admin folder path on this server Optional but recommended — absolute path to the uploaded Geeradio_admin folder so setup can link it Timezone YouTube API key (optional)

MySQL database (from cPanel)

Host Usually localhost Port Database name Database user Database password

Admin login

Username Display name Email Password At least 8 characters Confirm password

Upload the landing package to public_html and the admin package to the admin.yourdomain.com document root (separate folder). They share one MySQL database — no admin code inside the landing site. If you skip the admin path here, open https://admin.yourdomain.com/setup.php after landing setup to connect them.
