System Requirements
- Unix, Lynyx or NT operating system
- Perl 5 with sockets library installed
- Telnet Access recommended but not required
- Secure
Webspace with CGI capability recommended
Preliminaries
- Determine the path to PERL 5 on your web
server host. Note that some web hosting companies run both PERL 4 and PERL 5.
Make ABSOLUTELY sure you are not setting this up under PERL 4. Ask your
administrator if you are not sure.
- Download the tarfile for this program and
save it to your desktop.
- Unpack the tar archive on your desktop using a
program that unpacks UNIX TAR ARCHIVES. If you don't have such a program then download
WINZIP FREE from SHAREWARE.COM.
- After you have unpacked the TAR archive you
will have a collection of folders and files on your desktop. Now you have to do some
basic editing of each of these files (or at least some of them). Use a text editor
such as wordpad, notepad, BBEdit, simpletext, or teachtext to edit the files. These
are NOT WORD PROCESSOR DOCUMENTS they are just simple TEXT files so don't save them as
word processor documents or save them with extentions such as .txt or they will NOT WORK.
Note that there may be a some files inside of folders which are "blank".
This is normal.
Preparing the CGI scripts
Define Path To PERL 5
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.
Configure the .cgi files
configure.cgi
- $date_command: this is the path to date
on your system
- $secureserver: this is the DOMAIN NAME
of your secure server
- $SENDMAIL: the path to sendmail on your
system
- $membersdatabase: path to the database
file
- $expiredatabase: path to the expire file
- $passwordfile: path to the passwords
file
- $billing: Your email address
- $payment: Three variables that are
determined by your cybercash register (host, port, and secret)
- $remote: DONT TOUCH THIS
- $script: the remainder of the url that
will map to cybercash.cgi - thus
- $http://$remote$script should be URL of
cybercash.cgi when put together
- $port: Will probably not need to alter
this either
File Access Permissions
File access permissions must be set correctly
for this program to run. The table below lists the permissions of each file which are to
be set by the unix command ( chmod ) used to set the correct access permissions. You must
set the access permissions for each of these files. install.cgi will set these
automatically.
