DF" Web-Traffic Shop installation
1. Preparing to installation.
For installing You should have the distribution kit (wts.zip) and FTP access. Domain name wich will be used for installation should be web accessable.
1.1 Choosing the distribution kit.
It is needed to identify the operating system (OS) of a server the system will be installed on. The distribution kit should match the OS on server. If the distribution kit You have doesn't match the OS please address to DF for the needed distribution kit. At the moment we compile our software for: Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris (CPU x86) and Windows NT.
You may find out the OS from server administraor or identify the OS independently using "Perl Informer" testing script.
For identifying the OS independently You should:
- download Perl Informer from dfservice.com site (http://dfservice.com/soft.htm.en.htm)
- upload in text mode perlinfo.cgi in folder "cgi-bin" on the site the system will be installed on, assign permissoin 755 (rwx r-x r-x).
- call http://site.com/cgi-bin/perlinfo.cgi trough the web
- The OS should be visible in the row Operation System: [ linux / freebsd / solaris / MSWin32 ]
1.2 Uploading the distribution kit.
Extract files conained in archive wts.zip to local disk and upload them on server in cgi-bin directory, where will be system installed. Files with extension .cgi must be uploaded in binary mode. After upload assign its permition to 755. The wtstpl folder must be uploaded in text mode.
1.3 Launching the installation program.
Launch wtsadmin.cgi (http://your_site.com/cgi-bin/wtsadmin.cgi). You will see new administration password request form like below one. Set your password and getting started with system set-up.
If launching failed - there can be following reasons:
- wrong wtsadmin.cgi file permission. Check it, the permission should be 755 (rwx r-x r-x).
- the distribution kit is compiled not for Your server's OS.
- the distribution kit is uploaded not in binary mode. Reupload the distribution kit in binary mode.
- wtsadmin.cgi is uploaded in folder where cgi-aplications launching is forbidden. Make sure that other cgi-aplications can be launched in this folder. If other scripts can't be launched- try create .htaccess file (if this file exists then just add following line to it) with "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" line (without quotes). If it doesnt help address to administrator.
2. System set-up.
During the first system launching all settings are as default and it will be asked to confirm them in Setup dialog.
The following system settings must be specified:
- you should choose type of GeoIP database. System can use its own internal GeoIP-database or Server GeoIP database. For using the Server GeoIP database, the mod_geoip module must be installed on server, about availability of this module you will see in message: Server GeoIP database (It is supported on this server/It is not supported on this server). If mod_geoip module isn't installed on your server - use internal GeopIP-database, see article: «Installing and upgrade system GeoIP-database».
- Enter your e-mail (Admin E-mail), if it is differ from offered by default.
- Check up the path to sendmail.
- Set up GMT time offset of system.
About others settings read internal help (query in the right upper corner).
