In this chapter:

• 1.1: Downloading your Installer Script
• 1.2: Uploading and Setting Permissions
• 1.3: Directory Structure
• 1.4: Final Install Procedure
• 1.5: Calling the Script
• 1.6: Troubleshooting

Now that you have downloaded your custom installer script, you need to transfer the file to your server.

• Open your FTP program (we recommend CuteFTP or WS-FTP).

• You will need to upload your setup script in ASCII format to your cgi-bin.  Uploading in binary format will result in a corrupt file.

• Once your script is uploaded, you need to set the script to be executable.

If you have telnet access, navigate to your cgi-bin, where your script is located, and give the following command:

chmod 755 ABCsetup.pl (press Enter)

If you do not have telnet access, consult your FTP program for instructions on setting permissions on files and directories.

Now that your installer script is uploaded and executable, you need to create the directories you specified during step one on our site.
