A distribution is a set of files organized into folders. The distribution is usually packaged in ZIP format.
If you take a ZIP distribution and unpack it with any available archiver, you'll get a ready-to-use distribution.
CMS installation distribution:
The installation distribution is uploaded to the empty root directory of your website. There should be no extra files.
The installation package consists of the following files and folders:
Folders:
rk-addons - folder with add-ons
rk-db - folder that stores important text data
rk-exts - folder with modules
rk-includes - folder with CMS functions
rk-maintenance - CMS maintenance mode folder
rk-plugins - folder with plugins
rk-themes - folder with themes
rk-uploads - folder with uploaded images and files
Files:
.htaccess - this is the configuration file for Web servers running Apache software.
index.php – main CMS file
rk-config.php – CMS configuration file. Settings file.
rk-hook.php – hook file. For advanced users.
rk-load.php – CMS loader file
Update distribution:
The update distribution is uploaded to the root directory of your website, overwriting any files already there. We replace the old files already on the server with the new files.
Folders:
rk-exts – modules folder
rk-includes – CMS functions folder
rk-maintenance – CMS maintenance mode folder
rk-plugins – plugins folder
rk-themes – themes folder
Files:
.htaccess – is a configuration file for web servers running Apache software. index.php – main CMS file
rk-load.php – CMS loader file
Plugin distribution:
The plugin distribution is uploaded to the rk-plugins folder, which is located in the root directory of your website.
The entire contents of the distribution, including the folder, must be uploaded to the server. If such a folder with the plugin already exists on the server, you must replace the old files with the new ones, in other words, overwrite them.
