The installation requires at least a working internet connection and a valid FTP access (user name and password) to the document and script root of the target HTTP server. For installation from a Windows client the tool setup.exe can be used. From a Linux/Unix or MacOsX box the installation has to be done manually.

 Installation using Windows tool setup.exe

  1. Download and copy package sqldbu.zip to a separate directories, e.g. c:\temp.

  2. Unzip the package within the target directory and leave  the resulting directory structure unchanged:
     c:\> cd \temp
     c:\temp> unzip sqldbu.zip

  3. Launch the installation utility
     c:\temp> setup.exe

  4. Follow the instructions provided by installation utility. This wizard gathers following information to set up the CGI-Utility properly:
  • General settings: Language, target platform
  • FTP Settings:   User and password for FTP transfer, target system directories  (document root, script root)
  • E-Mail settings:  Mail Server, administrator E-Mail
