Installation/Last Minute Notes
---------------------------------




Installation Guide
Setting up and configuring AVSMaker Pro on your server
_________________________________________________________________

We have endeavoured to make the installation process as quick and
painless as possible; in most cases, following the easy steps below
should work perfectly.

  * Unzip AVSPro.zip and upload the entire avspro directory to your
    server, inside one of your domains, using an FTP program such
    as CuteFTP (http://www.cuteftp.com) in ASCII mode.
  * If you need to alter the default MySQL setup - ie, specify your own 
    username, host, port or database to use - edit the variables near the
    top of install.sh, and re-upload this file.
  * In telnet or ssh, change to the avspro directory (cd /path/to/avspro)
    and type:

                chmod 755 install.sh
                ./install.sh

  * This may need MySQL root privileges as it requires a new database
    to be created. This can be changed by altering MYSQL_DB in
    install.sh; if you need help with this, email us and we will assist you
    as soon as possible.

	    NOTE: If an error similar to "No such file or directory"
	          occurs at this point, dreaded Windows control characters
	          have gotten into your install.sh; run the following command:
	          
	            perl -i -pe 'tr/\r//d' *.sh
	          
	          from the avspro/ directory, and re-run ./install.sh.

  * Now open your browser and surf to http://domain.com/avspro/admin.cgi.
    You should be taken to a registration screen, from where you can
    configure and register your copy of AVSMaker Professional.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG...
Do not hesitate to mail us at support@avsmakerpro.com with details
of the problem. Due to the mammoth complexity of this script set,
there are a large range of problems that could occur during
installation; for this reason, we have dedicated staff to assist as
best they can throughout the setup of this script at no extra fee.
