Zend Omnistar Tell Install Guide
To install the Omnistar Tell Zend version, you will
NOT use the software in our download area and instead
use the software that was sent to you via email. You
do not need a separate license file for our Zend version
because it is built in.. You will also need:
• PHP 4.2 or later
• An EMPTY MySQL 4.1 Database
or later
• Your MySQL server information:
• MySQL hostname
• MySQL database
name
• MySQL username
• MySQL password
• FTP software to upload the files
• A web browser (IE or Firefox)
(If you are not sure about the MYSQL information, contact
your hosting company)
Important: Please make sure the MYSQL database
that you use is an EMPTY Database because all information
will be deleted from your database.
STEP 1: UNZIP FILES
Unzip the software files on your local computer.
|
STEP 2: FIND WEB ROOT FOR SERVER
Log into your server with your FTP program and
locate your "Web Root". This is the top-level
directory where you can place web pages which will
be displayed on your website.
This is the same directory in which your website's
homepage are located. Examples on some servers are:
/www/, /public_html/, /httpdocs/,
/htdocs/, /html/
|
STEP 3: UPLOAD FILES
Rename ‘tell30’ to ‘tell’
before you upload the file and then the ‘tell’
folder to your web root. If you want to use another
folder other then ‘tell’
then open a ticket at http://support.omnistaretools.com
When you upload the files, make sure that the files
are transferred in the correct format (The choices
are "ascii" or "binary").
(Most FTP programs have an auto-detect setting for
transferring files in the correct mode and this
should be used if your ftp program has this setting.)
Mac Users: If your FTP program
has a setting for "Translate ISO characters"
(i.e. Fetch), make sure it's disabled before you
upload the affiliate program.

STEP 4. SET INITIAL FILE PERMISSIONS
If you are using a Unix-based Server, you will
now need to set file permissions for specific files
and directories that you uploaded in the previous
step. If you are a Windows user, appropriate permissions
may already be set. You should use your FTP program
to change permission.
Set the following permissions:
| [web root]/tell/admin/ |
set permissions on this folder
to 777 |
| [web root]/tell/img |
set permissions on this folder to 777 |
| [web root]/tell/lib/etools2.php |
set permissions on this file to 666 |
| [web root]/tell/lib/etools2_noperm.php |
set permissions on this file to 666 |
| [web root]/tell/spaw/config/spaw_control.config.php |
set permissions on this file to 666 |
|
STEP 5: EXCUTE INSTALL FILE
Finally, excute the install program /[tell]/install.php
with your Web Browser. For example the link should
look like this:
http://www.MYSITE.COM/tell/install.php
Fill out this page with all the required information.
|
STEP 6: SET FINAL FILE PERMISSIONS
If you are using a Unix-based Server, you will
now need to set file permissions for specific files
and directories that you uploaded in the previous
step. If you are a Windows user, appropriate permissions
may already be set. You should use your FTP program
to change permission.
Set the following permissions:
| [web root]/tell/admin/ |
set permissions on this folder to 755 |
| [web root]/tell/lib/etools2.php |
set permissions on this file to 444 |
| [web root]/tell/lib/etools2_noperm.php |
set permissions on this file to 444 |
|
STEP 7: MOVE UP LICENSE FILE
Re-upload the file lic.php to the [web
root]/tell/admin/ folder and make sure the
file format is binary. You can set the option to
binary in your FTP program.
|
STEP 8: LAUNCH THE SOFTWARE
You can launch the software at http://YOURSITE/tell/admin/
Login: admin
P assword: admin
