Installation and Configuration:
-------------------------------
1. Upload files and folders
+ Upload all files and folders to the cgi-bin directory
If you whish to upgrade FPG 1.x, choose the directory where FPG 1.x is installed
+ Files and folders to upload in ASCII-Mode:
- install.cgi
- fpg.cgi
- asimg.cgi
- fpg_ascii (and all files inside)
+ Files and folders to upload in BINARY-Mode:
- fpg_binary (and all files inside)
2. Chmod (set access permission - only applicable on Unix hosts)
+ Skip this step if your server is running on a Windows machine
+ All files and folders: chmod 755
+ It means:
Owner: read, write, execute
Group: read, -- , execute
Other: read, -- , execute
3. Installation
+ Open your browser and point it to the file install.cgi
(for example: http://www.you.com/cgi-bin/install.cgi)
+ In the installation window, fill in all fields to continue
+ During the instalation, the installer will:
- make the guestbook working directory (fpg_files) in your cgi-bin
- make sub-directories in the working directory:
+ configs
+ languages
+ skins
+ restrictions
+ session
+ antispam
- make the public directory (fpg_public) in your document root
(for example: http://www.yoursite.com/fpg_public)
- copy the ascii-files (configs and template files) to the sub-directories
- copy the binary files (image files) to the public directory
+ Directory tree after the installation:
+ cgi-bin/
+------ + fpg_files/
+ +------ + configs/
+ +------ + languages/
+ +------ + skins/
+ +------ + restrictions/
+ +------ + session/
+ +------ + antispam/
+ + your_existing_files_and_folders
+ fpg_public/
+-------+ your_binary_files
+ After the installation is complete, log in as administrator
and configure your new guestbook
4. Configuration
+ Follow the screen guide to configure your guestbook
+ Use the forum if you have a question or want to share your experience
5. Note
+ If the public directory cannot be created, FPG will use external links
for displaying your icons and loading javascripts:
http://www.vitinh.de/fpg_public/
In this case you can manually create a non-cgi directory and upload
the icons and javascripts to help vitinh.de save bandwidth.
+ To change the layout of the guestbook, you may edit all .tpl files in the
directory fpg_files/skins.
+ If you disable an input field, you must remove its place holder in the file
"sign.tpl" too.
+ And sorry for my terrible English ;-)
