CONFIGURING THE CGI FILES

FIRST: Unzip the SoftSite Pro file (ss10pro.zip) to your hard drive. The directory structure should look like this...

(1) Uploading and setting permissions...

Setting up SoftSite Pro is easy and completely automated thank's to the built-in installer. With your favorite FTP client simply upload the entire ss10 folder to your main directory (auto-detect mode is recommended).  Then, upload the ss10.cgi file from the cgi-bin folder to your cgi-bin directory. the following permissions are necessary in order for the script to function properly...

/cgi-bin/ (chmod 755)
/cgi-bin/ss10.cgi (chmod 755)
/ss10/ (chmod 777)
/ss10/data.html (chmod 777)
/ss10/admin (chmod 777)
/ss10/images/ (chmod 666)
/ss10/images/main.css (chmod 777)
/ss10/members/ (chmod 777)

Once everything has been uploaded and the proper permissions set, point your browser to ss10.cgi. This is the initialization form. This form will automatically detect the correct paths on your host and auto-fill the appropriate form fields. You will also need to fill in certain parts of the form yourself with the correct information. After you have completed this step simply click on the "Setup" button. This will automatically configure the script, create additional files and folders and transfer you to another page titled "Setup Complete". Click on the "Main Page" link on this page. Your done!.
