Setup
Place the files from the downloaded zip into the directories as shown below and be sure to "chmod" them as shown below. Be sure to upload ALL .pl/.cgi files in ASCII mode. Chmod is not supported on Windows servers, so there is no need to do that step after uploading (or extracting) the files. On a Windows/NT server, however, you will need to give the data folders (those specified to be chmod 777) full read/write permissions.
