Manual Installation

 

These steps can be followed to install the program without using the NetShield Wizard included with the program.

After you install the program using the Windows Installer that comes already included in the package, you do not have to use the NetShield Wizard to install it on the target server.

For example, if you install the program on your computer under the directory \mewsoft\search, the default installation directory, then the installation directory should look like figure (1) after installation.

 

Figure (1) Directory Structure

 

Note that the directory windows means this version of the program for Windows Servers only. For Lunix, this directory will be linux, for FreeBSD version, this directory is freebsd, for Solaris servers, this directory is solaris, etc.

Please note the executables programs are platform dependent, which means you have to use the correct program version for each server operating system.

 

Copy or transfer the directory "dir" and all its sub directories and files to your server executables directory, normally this is your cgi-bin directory.

 

Copy or transfer the directory "dirs" and all its sub directories and files to your server documents or html  directory, normally this is your www or httpdocs  directory.

 

Now just follows the post installation instructions to set the directories and files permissions, configure your SQL database, create SQL tables, etc.
