=== Installation
Upload the sitemaps directory to your cgi-bin
Give the following file permissions to the scripts listed:
in the "sitemaps" directory:
drwxr-xr-x (chmod 0755) admin/
drwxrwxrwx (chmod 0777) data/
in the "data" directory:
drwxrwxrwx (chmod 0777) sessions/
in the "admin" directory:
-rw-r--r-- (chmod 0644) Sitemaps.pm
-rwxr-xr-x (chmod 0755) build.pl
-rwxr-xr-x (chmod 0755) index.cgi
drwxrwxrwx (chmod 0777) sysdata/
drwxr-xr-x (chmod 0755) templates/
In the "sysdata" directory:
-rw-rw-rw- (chmod 0666) backup.txt
-rw-rw-rw- (chmod 0666) configs.dat
-rw-rw-rw- (chmod 0666) passwd.pwd
Open the file /admin/Sitemaps.pm in a text editor (not word or
some other program that will cause the file to be saved in a
binary form). Notepad is fine...
my $prog_root = '/usr/web/hosts/cgi-bin/sitemaps';
That is the full system path to the directory that you uploaded
the sitemaps directory to.
This is the only configuration that you need to set in this file.
Open the /admin/index.cgi file and first make sure the first line
points to the
correct path to perl on your server:
#!/usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl usually if you are on a
*nix machine.
Open the /admin/build.pl file and first make sure the first line
points to the
correct path to perl on your server. Then set the following
variables:
my $prog_root = '/usr/web/hosts/cgi-bin/sitemaps';
Again, that is the full system path to the sitemaps directory in
your cgi-bin
my $slash = '/';
You should not have to change that even on a windoze server. If
you are on Windows and have a problem, try changing it to my
$slash = '\';
my $admin_address = 'you@yourdomain.com';
Your email address.
my $smtp = '';
Yikes - that is not used yet. Knew I forgot something :-) For now
there is no SMTP
support, but that will come soon. You must use sendmail for now ->
my $mailer = 'sendmail';
my $sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t';
Make sure the sendmail settings are correct. We will add an SMTP
option in the next
release.
Next: Log into the admin and start setting up. The url will be
something like this:
http://example.com/cgi-bin/sitemaps/admin/index.cgi
Your usernamer is: sitemaps
Your Password is: temp
You will want to change that immediately.
Once you are ready to generate sitemaps, you must first set up
your account with Google. Then you have to manually submit your
sitmaps to them the first time each once is submitted. Also, you
need to run build.pl from the command line the first time you use
it, OR create a file called sitemap.gz wherever you have the
program set to save your sitemap and chmod it 0666 (world
writable) so the cgi script will have permission to overwrite it
the next time you regenerate from your browser.
