Instructions For Installing .htAdmin

The htadmin.zip file contains the following:
- htadmin.pl
- .htaccess
- .htpasswd
- license.txt
- README.txt (this file)
- system.pl (optional, see below)

1. Open .htaccess

2. Edit the AuthUserFile path to reflect the absolute server path to your .htpasswd file.

3. (Optional) You may change the AuthName in the .htaccess file. This name will
display on the popup login alert box.

4. The rest of the .htaccess file is formatted and should be ready for upload to 
your server. 

5. The .htpasswd file is blank and needs to remain so until uploaded.

- For more on the .htaccess and .htpasswd files, including FTP commands, please 
see the "Demo" page on htAdmin.com [http://www.htadmin.com].

6. Upload the .htaccess and .htpasswd files to the directory you wish to restrict
on your server.

7. Open htadmin.pl
Make sure that you have the correct path to perl on the very first 
line of the script. Edit if necessary.

There are four variables that need to be defined:
- Path To .htpasswd. This is the same absolute server path that is defined in 
number 1 above.
- The URL to the directory where the .htpasswd resides.
- Admin Username. The default is "admin", but you may edit to whatever you like.
- Admin Password. This defaults to "password", but this too may be edited.

8. Upload htadmin.pl to your cgi-bin in ASCII mode and CHMOD to 755. We recommend
creating a subdirectory within your cgi-bin specific to your script. 
(i.e.: yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/htdamin)

9. Start your favorite browser and go to the URL of the script. 
(i.e.: yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/htdamin/htadmin.pl)

10. Enter the admin Username and Password that you defined in number 6 above
and you're ready to get started creating users for your restricted content.


Instructions For Installing system.pl (optional)

Included is our system.pl server path environment script. For additional
information on system.pl, please see the "Features" page on htAdmin.com

1.  Upload system.pl to the same directory as you installed htadmin.pl
in ASCII mode and CHMOD to 755.

2. Navigate your browser to the URL of the script. 
(i.e.: yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/htdamin/system.pl)

3. Enjoy.
