Greetings from Mewsoft,

Today we released Searchawy 2011 Version 14.2 with new design and features.

New Demo
=========
http://www.mewsoft.com/dir/

http://www.mewsoft.com/dir/admin

This new version does not require cgi-bin folder, we have redesigned the software to use apache server
rewrite module and .htaccess files to run all the software from one folder instead of having one folder over
the cgi-bin and one over the html direcotires.

The new desing will reduce and shorten your site URL's by removing the cgi-bin from all links like this:

Old link:

The new link will be:
http://www.mewsoft.com/dir/index.cgi

Of course you can install the product on your homepage if you want like this:

http://www.mewsoft.com/index.cgi

The new version also have added the links titles and categories names to the URL's  for search engines
of course after sanitization to help search engine indexing and knowing more about your site contents.

Auto Installer Updated
==================
The Mewsoft Auto Installer on our website has been updated for the new version now and ready for use with it.

dir.cgi File
===========

dir.cgi file has been changed to index.cgi in the new package

.htaccess File Add
=============
The new version uses apache srever .htaccess file in the main product folder to make the security and redirections.

Installation folder

===============
Assume you installed the product under the folder auction on your website for example  http://www.mewsoft.com

Then the URL's to access the product files will be like this:

http://www.mewsoft.com/dir

http://www.mewsoft.com/dir/admin            the admin center

of http://www.mewsoft.com/dir/admin.cgi also for the admin center

the link http://www.mewsoft.com/dir will redirect all requests to http://www.mewsoft.com/dir/index.cgi using the .htaccess automatically.

Admin Configuration
===============

After installation, you will need to set the CGI URL the same as the HTML URL in the admin Configuration.

How to Upgrade to This Version

======================
Please follow these steps very carefully and do not overwrite any file on your site.

1)-Download the latest version searchawy.zip from our website using your license number.

2-Do fresh new install under a new folder from your html (public_html or httpdocs ) using our auto installer or using your FTP software

3)-access your admin center and set the database info the same as your old install, the one you are currently using, if you can not

remember these info, download the file cgi-bin/dir/data/SysConfig.pm and view it with notepad and search it for these info:

DB_Name or dbname
db_User or dbuser
DB_PASS or dbpass
DB_HOST or dbhost

Now you should be able to view your new site using your old sql database you should be able to view all your cats, users, items, etc.

4)-Start carefully copying your templates and language files from your old install to the new install.

5)-Start carefull copying your dirs/* folder to the new installation

You are ready to go with the new version.

If you want to avoid the mess and the risk and avoid the headack, we can do all the job for you as a custom work for $100 only,
if you are interested, just order 2 hours custom work on our website order page.
