Installation:

Before you begin to install iRedirector make sure that you have the Login information for an existing MySQL-database. If you do not have it or do not know it ask your hosting company!

Basically the only thing you have to edit is the config.php! Enter your MySQL information there and upload everything in ASCII mode to your server. (If you chmod the config.php worldwritable you can even enter your MySQL information online!).

If you need to use the CGI-Mode-Version, you have to chmod the file .htpasswd 666 on your server! You also have to edit the .htaccess file to point to your admin-directory (details about it can be found in the .htaccess file itself).

After that run install.php and follow the instructions!

A few words to the initial setup: the only thing which might be a little bit confusing is the date and time setup. So please have a look at date.php. Everything else should be self-explanatory. You can of course edit this setup later using the admin-script.

For security reason it is important that you delete the "install" and "upgrade" PHP-files after installation is complete!

To make the redirection itself work you have to put a "index.php" to the web-root directory of each domain you want to use. You have to make sure that it is accessed first when someone tries to access your domain. (So for example if there is a index.php you might need to rename it to index2.php and put your index.php there). If someone then accesses www.yourdomain.com he is redirected to the file you define when you add the domain using the admin-script.

You also need to know the full Linux/Unix path of your installation directory. (Contact your server admin if you do not know it).

Put the following into "index.php":
<? define('directory', '/FULL/PATH/TO/YOUR/INSTALLATIONFOLDER/'); include(directory . "redir.php"); ?>

If you want to use path forwarding you also have to put an ".htaccess" file into the webroot of each domain:
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
