1. Make a backup of the old OptiGold Web files in C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro 5.5\Web\. If you are upgrading from a previous version of OptiSkin, make a backup of any files you have customized (e.g. the include files).
2. Unzip optiskin-XX.zip (or ispmanage-XX.zip for the ISP Management skin) first. This will unzip the individual distributions (cdmlXX.zip, customerXX.zip, and signupXX.zip for the Customer/Signup skins or cdmlXX.zip and ispmanageXX.zip for the ISP Management skin).
3. THIS STEP MUST BE DONE ON YOUR FILEMAKER PRO/UNLIMITED MACHINE. Unzip the cdmlXX.zip file to the C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro 5.5\Web\ folder. It will unzip into two subdirectories - optiskin (ASP version) and optiskin-php (PHP version). This enables you to leave the stock OptiGold Web files untouched.
4. THIS STEP MUST BE DONE ON YOUR WEBSERVER MACHINE. Unzip the customerXX.zip and signupXX.zip files (or ispmanageXX.zip for the ISP Management skin) to a location of your choosing. You will point your website(s) at this folder, so please remember where it is. I suggest something like d:\home\customer (or /usr/local/www/customer for UNIX) for the Customer Web Interface and d:\home\signup (or /usr/local/www/signup for UNIX) for the Online Signup files.
5. Make sure the website(s) in your webserver config are pointed at the correct location.
Example for a Windows box with IIS and the ASP version:
d:\home\customer\asp\ -> http://customer.yourisp.com
d:\home\signup\asp\ -> http://signup.yourisp.com
Example for a Windows box with IIS and the PHP version:
d:\home\customer\php\ -> http://customer.yourisp.com
d:\home\signup\php\ -> http://signup.yourisp.com
Example for a Linux box with Apache and the PHP version:
/usr/local/www/customer/php/ -> http://customer.yourisp.com
/usr/local/www/signup/php/ -> http://signup.yourisp.com
If you intend to use the ASP version, be sure that ASP is enabled on the site in IIS and that you have the MSXML DLL's installed properly. If you intend to use PHP, be sure that you are using PHP 4.3.x or above.
6. THIS STEP MUST BE DONE ON YOUR WEBSERVER MACHINE. Edit [dir you unzipped customerXX and signupXX files to, or ispmanageXX for ISP Management skin]\includes\strings.asp (strings.inc on PHP version) with the IP address of your FMP Unlimited box.
7. Browse to http://your.url.com/index.[asp or php] to bring up OptiSkin. You may also want to set index.asp (ASP version) or index.php (PHP version) as the default document in your webserver config.
