Unix Instalation

     I have included a script that will give you some help getting the paths to your server, perl, sendmail and other environments... This script will just get the Environments and print them out for you so if you are unsure of what the full path to something is, you can run this script and it will tell you...

Unix: upload the getenv.pl file to your cgi-bin and then CHMOD to 755.. Then just go the url of the script...
  http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/getenv.pl

Unix Installation: (Also see NT Installation)

STEP 1:

- Create a directory on your server under your cgi-bin called "adspro" or whatever you want...
- Create another directory on your server under the adspro directory called "files" or whatever you want...
- Create another directory on your server under the images directory called "adspro" or whatever you want...
  /path to your cgi-bin/adspro
  /path to your cgi-bin/adspro/files
  /path to your images/adspro
CHMOD on the "adspro" directory to 755
CHMOD on the "files" directory to 777

Unix Server
Lets say your full path to your cgi-bin is /home/r/a/randall1/public_html/cgi-bin ..
- Create a folder under the cgi-bin called "adspro" or whatever you want...
- Now create another directory under the "adspro" directory called "files" or whatever you want...
- Now create another directory under the "images" directory called "adspro" or whatever you want...
Now you have three directories
  /path to your cgi-bin/adspro
  /path to your cgi-bin/adspro/files
  /path to your images/adspro
CHMOD on the "adspro" directory to 755
CHMOD on the "files" directory to 777


STEP 2:

- Open the settings.pl file with a text editor like notepad or wordpad...
- Change the editable variable $filesdir to the path of the folder which has write permissions...

The rest of the script is configured from within a self setup script.
- You might also need to open each pl file and change the 1st line to the path to perl.  #!/usr/bin/perl is usually the path but you might need
   to change this to #!usr/sbin/perl or something like that
*** Make sure you put the full path to the directory in the $file_dir that you created in step 1... If this path does not point to a write able directory, your script will not work... Make sure you CHMOD to 777 on this directory...*** 

STEP 3:

- Upload all the pl file to the /cgi-bin/adspro directory...  Unix does not require the ntmail.pl file...
If you are on a UNIX server, CHMOD to 755 on all the pl files. 
- Upload all the images from the zip file to the http://www.yoursite.com/images/adspro directory.

STEP 4:

- Now just go to the URL of the admin.pl file and set up your options...
     http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/adspro/admin.pl
 

That's it... Your done... IF you experience any problems, make sure that directories your created are
write able... Also you can disable the file locking and see if this fixes any problems...
