Which file to use?
 
ws415CS.tar.gz
ws415CS.tar.gz was created using GNU tar, preserving file and directory permissions.
 
You must have telnet access to your domain account with the ability to execute UNIX tar commands to extract either of these files on your server.
 
Your server must have GNU tar or an extraction utitlity such as gunzip to extract ws415CS.tar.gz.
 
After downloading ws415CS.tar.gz, transfer the file to your server.
 
 
ws415CS.zip
If you do not have telnet access, download and extract ws415CS.zip on your local PC. Upload the directories and files to your server.

Uploading Files using FTP
 
Transfer ws415CS.tar.gz to it's parent directory, usually your domain's root. WebStore's parent directory must be able to output graphics and HTML files to a web browser. The directory accessed with the URL http://www.YourDomain.xxx or any directory under this directory is the correct location to extract ws415CS.tar.gz.
 
ws415CS.tar.gz and ws415CS.zip must be transfered as BINARY files. Examples of other BINARY files are executable programs, word processing documents, image files, and sound files.
 
Image files (file extensions of .gif and .jpg) in the WebStore application must be transferred as BINARY files.
 
All other files in the WebStore application must be transferred as ASCII text files.

Add ASCII Filename Extensions to WS_FTP
 
To transfer WebStore ASCII files using WS_FTP's Auto Detect mode, add the following filename extensions to WS_FTP's Auto Detect list: 
.age
.bnr
.cart
.cgi
.client
.counter
.cron
.data
.file
.htm
.html
.js
.list
.lock
.pl
.readonly
.setup
.stats
.txt
.users
.usr
WS_FTP will transfer files with the extensions above in ASCII mode when using Auto Detect.

Extracting ws415CS.tar.gz
 
You must have telnet access to your domain account to execute tar commands.
 
If your server has GNU TAR, issue the command:
    tar xvzpf ws415CS.tar.gz
ws415CS.tar.gz will extract, creating the /Web_store directory structure. All directory and file permissions are preserved.
 
If your server does not have GNU TAR, issue the command:
    gunzip ws415CS.tar.gz
This will extract and overwrite ws415CS.tar.gz with ws415CS.tar.
 
Issue the command:
    tar xvf ws415CS.tar
ws415CS.tar will extract, creating the /Web_store directory structure. You will have to set directory and file permissions.

Placement of Perl Scripts (.cgi files)
 
If your domain has a specific directory configured for perl scripts, such as cgi-bin, place all perl scripts (.cgi files) and ws_global.setup in the cgi-bin directory.
 
If you can execute perl scripts from any directory in your domain, the perl scripts and ws_global.setup may be left in the /Web_store directory or placed in any directory of your choosing.
 
Perl scripts can not be placed in any directory assigned to MS Frontpage.

Setting Permissions using Telnet
 
REFER TO YOUR SERVER'S MAN PAGE FOR chmod.
Do not assume the instructions below for chmod accurately describes your server's chmod utility.
 
Connect to your domain account using a telnet application and cd to the parent directory of Web_store (if required):
    cd Parent/Directory
If you are not familiar with chmod, refer to CHMOD Explanation and CHMOD Examples.
 
Issue the following commands: 
Change directory modes:      chmod 755 Web_store

cd to Web_store Directory:   cd Web_store

Change directory modes:      chmod 777 Databases
                             chmod 777 Statistics
                             chmod 777 User_carts
                             chmod 777 Users

Change file modes:           chmod 644 ws_delete_files.cron
                             chmod 644 ws_global.setup

                             chmod 755 *.cgi
                                  -OR-
                             chmod 755 ws400CS.cgi
                             chmod 755 ws_banner.cgi
                             chmod 755 ws_delete_files.cgi
                             chmod 755 ws_editor.cgi
                             chmod 755 ws_mail.cgi

List Permissions:            ls -l  (optional)
                             Sight-verify modes to make certain
                             they are correct.
After setting permissions for the files and sub-directories under the Web_store directory, cd to each sub-directory and set permissions for the files as listed in the Directory and File Permissions table.

CHMOD Explanation
 
REFER TO YOUR SERVER'S MAN PAGE FOR chmod.
Do not assume the information below for chmod accurately describes your server's chmod utility. 
chmod [options] xxx files    (change file modes)

    options = -R recursively set file modes (if used)
    xxx     = modes (file permissions)
    files   = filename, filename extension, or directory name
You will be using the chmod commands in the examples below to set file and directory permissions within the Web_store directory structure.

Setting Permissions using WS_FTP
 
You must have write permission on the remote server and the server must support the SITE chmod command in order to change file or directory permissions using WS_FTP.
 
Connect to your domain account using WS_FTP and change directories to the Web_store directory (if required).
 
Select (left click) the file or directory in the Remote System window whose modes are to be modified.
 
Pop-up Menu Right click and select chmod (UNIX) from the displayed menu.
 
Check the appropriate Read, Write, and Execute bits for Owner, Group, and Other from the displayed Remote file permissions window and select OK to modify file or directory permissions:
 
chmod 777 
chmod 777 file
Makes a file readable/writable/executable by everyone.
 
 
chmod 755 
chmod 755 file
Makes a file readable/executable by everyone and writable by the owner only.
 
 
chmod 666 
chmod 666 file
Makes a file readable/writable by everyone.
