The first step is to open up each and every
file that has a .cgi extention and edit line number one of each script. Each of the
cgi scripts is written in perl 5. For your scripts to run they must know where perl 5 is
installed on your web server. The path to perl 5 is defined to a cgi script in the first
line of the file. In each of the cgi scripts the first line of code looks something like
this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
If the path to perl 5 on your web server is
different from /usr/bin/perl you must edit the first line of each cgi script to reflect
the correct path. If the path to perl 5 is the same no changes are necessary. If you do
not know the path to perl 5 ask the webmaster or system administrator at your server site.
This file pretty much runs the whole
show. If you screw this one up don't count on anything working properly. In
other words, make sure you take the time to do this step CORRECTLY. Ask your
administrator if you need to. Below are the variables used in ALL of the other cgi
scripts. All of the other cgi programs USE configure.cgi to figure out where certain
things are. $sendmailpm =
"/full/path/to/cgi-bin/mimemailer";
$smtpserver = "name of your mail
SMTP server";
$formurla = "FULL URL TO YOUR
FORM (OR MAY LEAVE BLANK)";
$formurlb = "ALTERNATE URL TO
YOUR FORM (OR MAY LEAVE BLANK)";
$formurlc = "";
$formurld = "";
$mailprogram = '/path/to/sendmail';
$filedirectory =
"/full/path/to/cgi-bin/mimemailer/files";
$replyaddress = "YOURNAME
<you\@yourreplyaddress.com>";
$emailsubject = "SUBJECT LINE OF
EMAIL!";
$sendmailpm is the full path to the mimemailer installation directory
$smtpserver is the name of your OUTGOING mail server (eg:
smtp.yourdomain.com)
$formurla is the VALID URL of where the ordering selection form should be
(this is a security protocol). You can leave this blank if you want to.
$formurlb-d are alternate URLS for the index.html page used to order the file.
These might be used for example (see our demo). Our demo can be accessed from
both /demo/mime, http://superscripts.com/demo/mime/, and /demo/mime/index.html,
etc.
$mailprogram is simple the path to sendmail
$filedirectory is the full path to the files you are selling (it is recommended
to store these inside the cgi-bin or below root)
$replyaddress - email address used to reply to the seller (thats YOU)
$emailsubject is the subject of the email message you want to use when sending
your files
