Installing Flex-Able is a simple, seven-step procedure. We hope to provide an installer to automate these steps in the near future.
Step One:
Put the plug-in 'Net.Dreams Flex-Able' in your server
software's 'Plug-ins' folder.
Step Two:
Place the extensions from the '-->Extensions' folder in
your system:extensions folder. This includes the folder
called 'Net.Dreams Flex-Able Additions'- put this whole
folder in your system's extensions folder.
Step Three:
Put the folder called 'FADocs' in your server's root
directory. (This isn't strictly necessary, but the
documentation contained within the folder needs to be
activated by your server in order to function).
Step Four:
Place the 'pi_admin.flex-able' folder into your server
software's root folder. This contains Flex-Able
administration for system administrators only.
Step Five:
MAKE A COPY of the '.admin' folder, and place it in your
server's root folder. This folder contains sub-administration
controls for each virtual host, so you will be needing
un-modified copies for each host on your server. The root
copy you just made will control counters, rotation, date
formats and their associated passwords for the virtual host
at the root.
Step Six:
Quit and re-start your server software.
Step Seven:
If you have a license key, paste it into the document located at
http://www.yourserver.com/pi_admin.flex-able. You can use Flex-Able
as much as you like without a license key, but if you do so Flex-Able
will add a "Powered By Flex-Able" logo to each page it creates.
You're finished!
Important Note:
You will not be able to use the MAIL features of Flex-Able unless you
have installed the plug-in 'Net.Dreams MailAgent' which is included with your purchase of Flex-Able. Any version of MailAgent will support Flex-Able's MAIL features, but you will need a copy of 'MailAgent Pro' if you wish to send attachments or encrypt messages. For MailAgent installation procedures please refer to the MailAgent documentation.
