Install
basic knowledge around ssh is recommended for installing however each step is fully explained belows. The install is diveded into 2 parts. First the www admin install and then cron setup through ssh Install is only required once for each server and you can add unlimited domains to each copy.
WWW:
- Upload installer.dat through FTP to your www root and rename the file to installer.php
- Open your favorite browser and enter the location of the installer.php which should be located in the www root of your site eg. www.domain.com/installer.php. Follow the instructions until the script finished with succes.
- delete the installer.php file when finished
SSH:
- log into your server through your ssh client ( putty recommended )
- add the next three lines to your crontab. These will update the script and keep maintainence of database and is only required once for all xscripts software. Replace "/full/path/" with the location of your installed copy
*/2 * * * * /full/path/scripts/shared/cgi/cron.sh minute > null
0 * * * * /full/path/scripts/shared/cgi/cron.sh hour > null
1 0 * * * /full/path/scripts/shared/cgi/cron.sh day > null
cron.sh will look for php in /usr/bin/ and /usr/bin/local but if you php binary is located elsewhere you will need to edit that file with the correct path
if php cli is not available the same can be archived with either lynx, wget or fetch depending on what is available on your server.
- You may wish to test that cron is working by entering the commands directly in your shell. If it does not output any errors or nothing at all its working.
