2. Check that everything loads correctly
3. If you encounter errors, verify:
   • The server meets all requirements (PHP version, ionCube, SQLite3)

Remember to check your hosting provider's specific PHP requirements section to ensure ionCube Loaders and SQLite3 are enabled. Most control panels have a PHP Configuration or PHP Settings section where you can enable these extensions.
