Member "SiteMgrYAP/INSTALL" of archive SiteMgrYAP-0.2.0.tar.gz:




	Here are a few simple steps for installing SiteMgr YAP:

		- Download the main distribution SiteMgrYAP-xx.yy.zz.tar.gz
		- Download the preferred documentation smgr-manual-xx-yy.zz.tar.gz
		
		- Uncompress the distribution package in a separate directory for your security ...
		- Copy (or move) all the .cgi files (in the cgi-bin subdirectory) into your cgi-bin directory.
		Check that execution permissions are right.
		- Select a directory where you want to store your passwords file, the command line
		admin tool, and the sitemgr.conf file. Copy these files to the chosen place.
		- Copy (or move) all the html files to the place where you want to reside the html part of 
		SiteMgr (under the DocumentRoot of your server). I recommend you to do a 'cp -r' of the smgryap
		directory; this will keep all the links well.
		- Edit the two .cgi files to point the sitemgr.conf path in your system.
		- Edit the sitemgr.conf for configuring all the paths.
		- Add users with the commandline admin tool
		- Optionally install a different version of the user manual into the manual directory by 
		unpacking the preferred documentation package.


			That's all !!

	Problems ?

		- Check the permissions of the filesi: execution permission for the .cgi, read permission of
		all the files and directories, write permission for the user in which the server runs the 
		script, ...

		- ckeck that all the files/directories for the user have the same owner. If not, do a chown -R over
		the files/directories managed with sitemgr ( 'man chown' for more datails ;D ).

		- Want to use cgi-wrap or suexec ? I didn't test if SiteMgr works well with these. If you get
		it working please notify me on how.

		- Want to compile .cgi files ?  I was able to compile the two cgi's with perlcc, but I didn't 
		tested it too much ... so I don't really know if there are problems related with compiled .cgi's 


	More problems ?

		- send me an email, I'm writing a FAQ.
