CFiles Documentation - Installation

CFiles installation has been designed to be as easy and error-proof as we can make it. Following the easy steps below, you should have your own copy of CFiles working in minutes. CFiles will check during setup whether the appropriate system requirements are met, but if you know your system you can see the requirements before starting.
 
 Installation Steps

1. Extract all files from the CFiles.zip to a folder of your choice, keeping directory structure intact.


2. Edit /cgi-bin/cfsettings.pl with a text editor of your choice. Instructions for what to edit and where are in the file.


If you want more detailed instructions on what the settings in this file mean, check Setup.

3. Upload the contents of /html/ to somewhere in your html directory. Upload the contents of /cgi-bin/ to somewhere in your cgi directory.

* (Make sure the paths in cfsettings.pl point to these locations).
** All files with a .cgi, .pl or .pm extension must be uploaded in ASCII mode.
*** cfiles.cgi, cfadmin.pl, setup.cgi and cfsettings.pl should be in the same directory by default. You can put cfsettings.pl in another location if you want, but you must edit the line require "./cfsettings.pl" at the top of the other 3 files to point to the new location.

5. CHMOD 755: /cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi, /cgi-bin/setup.cgi
CHMOD 777: /html/screenshots/

4. Run setup.cgi with your browser. (eg. http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/setup.cgi)


6. When you have all green boxes in setup.cgi, run cfiles.cgi. (eg. http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi)

* Login for master access using the username and password you have entered into cfsettings.pl.
