2.2 Upload the Files

The first step to install the Envex Mini Replicator, is to upload all files to your web server. To start, connect to your server via FTP.


2.2.1 Upload the /mrep_data/ Directory

First, you must upload the /mrep_data/ directory. This directory should be uploaded below your document root. On the majority of web servers, the document root is the first directory you are placed in, when you connect via FTP. In other words, just below where your web pages are stored.

For example, if your web pages are stored in the /home/username/public_html/ directory, then the /mrep_data/ directory should be located at /home/username/mrep_data/. Once you have decided where to upload the /mrep_data/ directory, upload it. Make sure you upload the entire contents of the directory in ASCII mode.

CHMOD the /mrep_data/ directory to the following permissions:


2.2.2 Upload the /cgi-bin/ Directory

Next, you need to upload the /cgi-bin/ directory. First, change directories on your web server to your cgi-bin. Once inside your cgi-bin, create a directory called mrep. Upload the contents of the /cgi-bin/ directory from the zip file, to the mrep directory you just created.

Make sure you upload all files in ASCII mode. Once uploaded, CHMOD the /cgi-bin/ directory as follows:

NOTE: If you are familiar with installing CGI scripts, you made notice some of the above permissions seem incorrect. Please make sure you CHMOD all files exactly as stated above. The installation script modifies some scripts, and makes the needed permission changes.


2.2.3 Upload the /images/ Directory

The next directory you need to upload is the /images/ directory. Change to the images directory on your web server, and create a sub-directory named mrep. Upload the contents of the /images/ directory from the zip file, to the new mrep directory you just created. Make sure you upload all files in Binary mode, not ASCII.


2.2.4 Upload the /html/ Directory

The last directory you need to upload is the /html/ directory. Change directories on your web server to your document root (where your web pages are stored). This is usually a directory called something like, /html/, /www/, or /public_html/. Upload the contents of the /html/ directory from the zip file to your document root.

Make sure you upload all files in ASCII mode. CHMOD the files to the following permissions:
