INSTALLING ARTICLE MANAGER 2
----------------------
To install the program, you will need your unique Product ID. This will be in
the email you received when you ordered the program.

Online installation instructions and program documentation:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/articlemanager2/


1) UNZIP FILES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unzip the software files on your local computer, preserving the directory
structure.


2) FIND WEB ROOT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using an FTP program, log into your server and locate your "Web Root". This is
the top-level directory you can place web pages which will be displayed on your
website.

This is the same directory in which your website's homepage resides. It's often 
named /www/, /html/, /public_html/, /httpdocs/, /htdocs/ or something similar.


3) FIND CGI-BIN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some web servers require you to put your CGI Scripts in a special directory 
called "cgi-bin".  Others will let you run cgi scripts from any directory. 

If you are not sure how your web server is configured you should try to locate 
the cgi-bin using your FTP program. The cgi-bin directory will be named 
/cgi-bin/, /cgi-local/, /scripts/ or something similar.

If you can't find the cgi-bin as described then your server is probably the type 
that let's you run CGI Scripts from any directory.  You should be able to 
install the program anywhere under your Web Root.


4) CREATE A DIRECTORY UNDER YOUR WEB ROOT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a new directory under your Web Root with your FTP program. We recommend
you call the directory /artman2/ but any name you choose is fine.


5) CREATE A DIRECTORY UNDER CGI-BIN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a directory within your cgi directory with the same name you chose above 
(usually /artman2/).

If you don't have a CGI Directory, as discussed in Step 3, you won't need to 
create a second directory, simply use the same directory you created under the 
web root in Step 4.


6) UPLOAD FILES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upload the files and directories that you unzipped in step 1 into the web server
directories that you created in steps 4 and 5.

Upload the folders and files from /cgi-bin/artman2/ into the cgi directory that 
you created in step 5.

Upload the folders and files from /webroot/artman2/ into the web directory that 
you created in step 4.


7) Set File Permissions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using a Unix-based Server, you will now need to set file permissions
on some of the files and directories you uploaded. Most FTP clients have the
ability to change file permissions. Unix-based servers also include Linux,
Solaris, BSD, etc. For windows users, appropriate permissions may already be
set.

(a) Set the following directories and files to be "executable" (chmod 755)

[cgi-bin]/[artman2]/              (change permissions on directory itself)
[cgi-bin]/[artman2]/*.cgi         (all .cgi files in directory)
[cgi-bin]/[artman2]/utils/        (change permissions on directory itself)
[cgi-bin]/[artman2]/utils/*.cgi   (all .cgi files in directory)

(b) Set the following directories and files to be "writable" (chmod 777)

[cgi-bin]/[artman2]/data/         (change permissions on directory itself)
[cgi-bin]/[artman2]/data/*.*      (all files in directory)

[web root]/[artman2]/publish/     (change permissions on directory itself)
[web root]/[artman2]/publish/*.*  (all files in directory)
[web root]/[artman2]/uploads/     (change permissions on directory itself)
[web root]/[artman2]/uploads/*.*  (all files in directory)

(c) Make all template folders, subfolders and files "writable" (chmod 777):

[cgi-bin]/[artman2]/templates/    (the folder and ALL its subfolders and files)


8) Run Program
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, run the admin program /[cgi-bin]/[artman2]/admin.cgi with your Web
Browser. It will probably look something like this:

http://www.MYSITE.COM/cgi-bin/artman2/admin.cgi

The program will take you through the final steps of the installation. If you 
encounter any problems when attempting to run this program, please see the
