Install (UNIX with Apache)

• Decompress "ids-0.8.tar.gz" into a directory where your webserver can find it and from which CGI's can be executed. Please see the IDS & Apache page for examples.
  
  
• Create a password file in a safe directory using the command:
  
  
  htpasswd -c .htpasswd admin
  
  You will be prompted for a password. This creates a password file named ".htpasswd" and makes a password entry for the user "admin". You will use this username and password to access IDS' administrative CGI.
  
  
• cd to IDS' "admin" directory and edit the file ".htaccess". Change the first line of this file to point to the password file you just created (".htpasswd").
  
  
• If you would like to require that guests have a password before posting comments, you can create an htaccess file in the "postcomment" directory.
  
  
• Refer to the Getting Started page for usage instructions.
