RPM installation
If you are running Linux, this is the easy way to install the package.
W3Perl RPM have been built on a Mandrake but it should also works with any distributions
supporting rpm tools.
It have been tested on a Mandrake 8.2 and a RedHat 7.2. You need to log as root.
Default location is :
- /var/www/html/ for webserver root
- /var/www/cgi-bin/ for cgi-bin and
- /var/logs/httpd/ for logfiles
Default logfile format is ECLF.
1 - Fly
You'll need first to install the fly RPM in order to satisfy w3perl dependency.
rpm -ivh fly-1.6.5-1mdk.i686.rpm
Default location for the fly tool is /usr/local/bin
2 - W3Perl
Once Fly have been installed, just type :
rpm -ivh w3perl-<version>-1mdk.i586.rpm where <version> is the current release number.
(rpm -ivh w3perl-2.87-1mdk.i586.rpm for the current release).
or rpm -Uvh w3perl-<version>-1mdk.i586.rpm if you want to upgrade from a previous installation.
Files will be installed to the proper location with the right path. Files Group/Owner are apache (httpd user).
A default configuration file (config-mdk.pl) is provided so the scripts are ready to run. But some fields need
to be edited like your server domain name.
So if you want to modify the provided configuration file or create a new one, use the admin interface.
RPM are build as relocatable so installation can be done in another location.
If you need later to remove these packages, just use rpm -e fly-1.6.5-1mdk and rpm -e w3perl-<version>-1mdk.
That's all !
