If you know that the path to Perl is different on your server, please consult the "Troubleshooting" section below to see in which files the path to Perl has to be changed.

This program is tested on UNIX and WINDOWS server systems.

For Macs, you will need a copy of FETCH.

Upload using FRONTPAGE is NOT recommended AND will NOT WORK.

All you are doing is moving all files from your local computer to the server where your website files are located, and setting the permissions of install.cgi to allow the script to be treated like a program.

CGI-BIN permissions are set by the server and no attempt should be made to change them.

On some servers you will have to CREATE a CGI-BIN - to do this:

MKDIR cgi-bin
And set the permissions on UNIX systems to 755.
[CHMOD 755 - see below for example.]

* NOTE: If you attempt to install this in a directory other than a CGI/CGI-BIN, even with the proper permissions set on both the FILE and DIRECTORY the files are located in it MAY  NOT WORK as some web servers restrict where CGI programs can operate and run.

Once created, CHMOD [right click - this will be under settings in other programs, other than WS-FTP] this directory to 755**.

Visually, Setting are as follows [WS-FTP]:

        Owner    USER     Other
READ    [YES]    [YES]    [YES]
WRITE   [YES]    [NO]     [NO]
EXECUTE [YES]    [YES]    [YES]

Some servers MAY require CHMOD 777 or visually, setting are as follows [WS-FTP]:

        Owner    USER     Other
READ    [YES]    [YES]    [YES]
WRITE   [YES]    [YES]    [YES]
EXECUTE [YES]    [YES]    [YES]

** "CHMOD" means change permissions to allow this program to be treated as a program [vs a webpage] and allow it to do certain things.  This is only necessary on UNIX systems.

On some servers, you may have to use a program called TELNET to go and change the settings...
[CHMOD] - consult with your server company for instructions on this - generally speaking most hosting companies have this info in an online instructions manual.

You can also view the online manuals at:
http://www.best-host.com/

For instructions on TELNET, general uploading of files and setting permissions.

Open your browser and call install.pl to install the rest of the script.  Depending on where the new directory is located the path could be e.g.:
http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/go/install.pl or
http://www.yourserver.com/go/install.pl

All sub-directories will be created automatically, all files will be moved into the proper sub-directories and on Unix systems all file and directory permissions will be adjusted automatically.

If there is any problem, the script will let you know what it is.

If necessary, adjust the path to Perl within these files:

- admin.cgi
- admin.pl
- index.pl
- install.cgi
- install.pl
- to.cgi
- to.pl

At the top of each script (and it must remain as the first line) is a default path to the Perl program on your host server.  This can vary slightly between UNIX servers.  If you have problems running the scripts, check with your host support staff about the correct path described in this line.  The default entry is "#!/usr/bin/perl" and another common variation is "#!/usr/local/bin/perl".  In Perl scripts the hash sign "#" character comments out the code on a line starting with this character.  Here it has a special meaning to Perl.

NOTE: If you attempt to install this in a directory other than a CGI/CGI-BIN, even with the proper permissions set on both the FILE and DIRECTORY the files are located in it MAY NOT WORK as some web servers restrict where CGI programs can operate and run.

This means the SENDMAIL or SMTP server settings are incorrect for your script.  Click on "Change the settings of Add2it Go-To Free", and check the SENDMAIL or SMTP server settings.  Consult with your web hosting company for the CORRECT SENDMAIL or SMTP server settings for your server.
