1. Unzip the software files on to your computer making sure to preserve the directory structure that is stored in the zip file.

2. Double check to make sure the path to Perl is set correctly on the first line of each .cgi script. On most servers, the default path is correct and no change is required.

3. Create a directory named /listman/ on your web server and upload all files and directories there (see "Notes" below if you are installing to your /cgi-bin/). Be sure to upload image files (*.gif or *.jpg) in binary format and everything else in ascii format.

4. Make the following directories and files executable:(chmod 755)
/listman/exec/*.*
/listman/templates/
/listman/templates/_auto/*.*
/listman/templates/_generic/*.*
/listman/templates/_realty/*.*
/listman/templates/interface/*.*

5. Make the following directories and files writable:(chmod 777)
/listman/data/
/listman/data/*.*
/listman/homepages/
/listman/homepages/images/
/listman/listings/
/listman/listings/images/

NOTES: You need to create the listings and homepages directories. If you're installing the script in your /cgi-bin/ directory and you can't read files in /cgi-bin/listman/listings/ in your browser (because of security restrictions on your server), then you will need to create the following directories somewhere else on your server and change the default paths in Listings Manager under Setup Options.

/listman/homepages/
/listman/homepages/images/
/listman/listings/
/listman/listings/images/

6. Run the installation program in your browser (i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/listman/exec/install.cgi) and complete the installation procedure

7. Run the admin program in your browser, (i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/listman/exec/admin.cgi) and login with the username and password you input during installation.

8. Setup the Homepage Database Fields and Listing Database Fields under Setup Options and customize your listing and homepage templates.

9. Start entering listings.
