OldScriptFinder: Documentation: Installation guide
Old Script Finder is distributed as a system binary, meaning there's no compilation required. Wherever possible, we recommend the RPM installation (as it's the easiest), but we do also offer gzipped and bzipped tar versions.
Installation Using RPM
If your server has RPM, this is usually the best option. If you're installing the Free version, use this command:
$ rpm -ivh http://www.oldscriptfinder.com/oldscriptfinder-current.rpm
If you have purchased a Pro license, please Log In to your subscriber account to download the Pro version RPM, and install it with this command:
$ rpm -ivh oldscriptfinder-*.rpm
That should be all you need to do to complete the installation. If you have Apache, and httpd.conf is located at /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf, the RPM installation will have detected this, and set up your default config file (/var/oldscripts/default.conf) to use it.
If you have paid for a Pro license, you need to register your server's IP with us, so you get the pro features. You can do this by running this command:
$ oldscriptfinder --regip --username=USER --password=PASSWORD
Replace USER with the username, and PASSWORD with the password, that you were given when you paid for your license. Free licenses do not need to register their IP.
Now you can begin configuring and using Old Script Finder! See the rest of the documentation.
Installation using tgz/bz2
If you're using the Free version, you can download the tgz or tar.bz2 file from the Free version page. If you've paid for a Pro license, Log In to your subscriber account to download the Pro version archive. Whichever version you have, decompress the archive:
$ tar -xpzf oldscriptfinder-*.tgz
Or, for the bzip version:
$ tar -xpjf oldscriptfinder-*.tar.bz2
You should find a new directory named oldscriptfinder-version (where "version" is the current version). Change directory to it:
$ cd oldscriptfinder-*/
And copy the binary over to /usr/bin/:
$ cp oldscriptfinder /usr/bin/
If you have paid for a Pro license, you need to register your server's IP with us, so you get the pro features. You can do this by running this command:
$ oldscriptfinder --regip --username=USER --password=PASSWORD
Replace USER with the username, and PASSWORD with the password, that you were given when you paid for your license. Free licenses do not need to register their IP.
Old Script Finder can now be configured and used! If you wish to create a config file, you'll first need to create a directory named /var/oldscripts . The default config file is named /var/oldscripts/default.conf. See the rest of the documentation.
