Installing the
Script
- Get a provider that gives CGI access. I recommend free.prosting.com
if you don't have one.
- Open each script and change the first line (#!/usr/bin/perl)
to the proper PERL address. If you do not know it, ask
your web provider.
- Upload all of the files (except for txt files and for
FormTest.html; there is no need to upload these) in ASCII
mode (IMPORANT to use ASCII mode) to one directory. CHMOD
this directory and all of the scripts in it to 755. CHMOD
all dat files to 622. Leave HTML files alone.
- Optional: Choose a directory (preferably not a new
directory in the UHSD's directory because doing that will
make the script think that the Help directory is a game)
and create it. Now, upload the help files to there.
Remember to set this directory as the location of your
help files in the Universal Settings.
- Go to the newuser.html page and sign yourself up. (A user
is someone that has control over the database, not those
that will submit scores to it).
- Delete the newuser.html and the newuser.cgi files. (To
add a new user later, you will have to reupload those
files and repeat steps 3 to 5).
- Set-up your database to how you want it. This include
editting thanks.html if you intend to use it.
