Rad File Manager Web Application
Installation Guide for the PHP Edition
Before you download the File Manager, please make sure that your server meets the
system requirements. The installation using the web based configuration script is straight forward. The first step is to expand the zip archive, and to upload the scripts and the applet to the server.
- File System Permissions
Before you start you need to create a directory on your server for saving the uploaded files. This folder has to be writable by the web server. Generally making the folder world writable is the easiest way to do this, however if you are on a shared hosting environment that approach may not be desirable. Your web hosting service provider or the system administrator will be able to tell you the permissions that you be applied to the folder you have chosen.
You will also need to make the 'inc' subdirectory temporarily writable by the webserver, since the web based installer needs to create two files with in this sub directory.
- Database Settings
The Rad File Manger PHP Edition can be used with either a Postgresql or Mysql database. If you wish to store your data on a mysql system please create the required tables using the database.my.sql file included in the download. If you wish to use a Postgresql system use the database.pg.sql file instead.
- Running The Installer
Once you have prepared your database and created a folder for saving the users' files, please point your browser at your file manager installation directory on the web server. Now the installer will ask you for your database settings and the base directory (the directory you have created for saving files), all the field names are self explanatory.
The installer will try to connect to the database with the information provided and it will also attempt to create a test file on the base directory. If both operations are successfull a configuration file will be created in the inc subdirectory and the system will move on to the second step the registration.
In the second step you will be prompted for your order number. This number is included in the order confirmation email that you received. The order number will be a lengthy combination of letters and numbers ( eg:831326a09cb80c51cecb1c5f64ef97d6 ). Once the system validates this a new file named radfile.php will be created in the inc subfolder. This files needs to be moved to the parent folder and then the installation is complete. You are encouraged to delete the index.php file in the inc sub directory.
