VERSION: 3.1

What You Will Need

• The same requirements as the ImageFolio requirements
• A working ImageFolio 3.1 version.
• A mail program installed on your server (like sendmail for UNIX) to use the "send lightbox feature". To find out if it is installed and in which path download and install this Perl script.
• Compress::Zlib module needs to be installed on your server in order to use the "zip" feature of the lightbox. To find out if it is installed download and install this Perl script.
  

1. Using a Zip decompression utility, extract the contents of IFPro31_Lightbox_Mod_3*.zip to a new directory on your personal computer.
   
   You should see the following top-level directories:
   
   

   cgi-bin - this contains all of your scripts
   
   ImageFolio31_files - this contains the JavaScript source files
   

2. Using an FTP utility, login to your Web server. Your ISP should have provided you with a username, password, and details for transferring files to your server.
   
   
3. Upload all of the files and all of the directories in the cgi-bin/ImageFolio31 directory to the directory where you installed ImageFolio. Make sure you transfer all files in ASCII text mode!
   
   

   Permissions settings for Unix/Linux users...

   • Set permissions on all *.cgi files to 755 (rwxr-xr-x).
   • Do not set permissions on any other files.

4. Upload the ImageFolio31_files/lightbox directory and subdirectories to your ImageFolio31_files directory. Transfer all files in ASCII text mode.
   
   

   Permissions settings for Unix/Linux users...

   • Set permissions on the lightbox/emailed directory to 777 (rwxrwxrwx).
   • Set permissions on the lightbox/zipped directory to 777 (rwxrwxrwx).

5. Using a text editor, open all *.cgi files and verify that the first line of each script points to the proper location of Perl on your server, unless yours is #!/usr/bin/perl.
   
   

   Note for Unix/Linux users...
   Most text editors are set up to save files with Windows line endings. If you experience server errors when executing a script, you may need to change/set the preferences in your text editor to save files with Unix line endings.

6. Using a text editor, open lightbox_config.pl (from the cgi-bin/ImageFolio31/config directory) and answer all of the questions. This is your Lightbox configuration file and all variables will need to be defined within this file.
   
   
7. Using a text editor, open config.pl (from the cgi-bin/ImageFolio31/config directory) and set $using_lightbox_mod from 0 to 1.
   
   
8. Save any modified files, then, using an FTP utility, login to your server and upload the files you modified. Be sure to overwrite existing files to preserve any permissions settings.
