Instructions

Membership Client Pro Quick Install

These instructions are for people who have experience installing Perl scripts.  If you are not experienced, or run into trouble installing the scripts use the standard install.

Quick Install:

1. Create a folder in your 'cgi-bin' called 'order' (CHMOD this folder 755).
   i.e. /cgi-bin/order/
   
   
   
2. Upload all the files from the 'order' folder in the archive (.zip file) into the 'order' folder on your site
   
   (Make sure you upload in ASCII, it will not work if uploaded in Binary.)
   
   
   
3. Now CHMOD all .pl files 755.
   
   
   
4. Create a folder call this folder 'data' (inside the the 'order' folder), CHMOD this folder 777.
   
   
   
5. Next, upload all the files from the 'data' folder in the archive into the 'data' folder on your site.
   
   
   
6. If you are using .htaccess protection you should now create a folder called 'members' inside your web server root
   
   i.e. www.yoursite.com/members/
   
   You should now put your .htaccess and .htpasswd into this folder.
   
   (We have included examples of both in the 'extras' folder in this archive).
   
   
   
7. If you are using cookie protection you should now create a folder outside your web server root called 'protected' (i.e. so some one cannot go www.yoursite.com/protected/). CHMOD this folder 755.
   
   You can find out more about which one to use, .htaccess or cookie’s when you go into the admin.pl area.
   
   
   
8. Final step, now go to the admin.pl in your browser:
   
   http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/order/admin.pl.
   You will be asked to enter in some system info, paths and urls and admin password etc... Please go slowly, take your time and get this right (not filling this in correctly it is the biggest source of problems).
   
   If everything is OK you will get the setup complete page; otherwise you will get an error screen.
