FileRun Install Guide
From FileRun Documentation
To install FileRun on your server you need to follow these steps:
Contents |
Extract package contents
Upload the files to your server
Important note: FileRun's PHP files are not ASCII (plain text) files, but BINARY. Therefore the FTP transfer must be done in FTP BINARY mode, not AUTO or ASCII. Please note that some FTP clients upload these files in ASCII mode, although you set them to do otherwise. You can check to see if this is the case by comparing the sizes of the files. A file uploaded in the wrong mode has 2 missing bytes.
Feel free to contact us if you need help with uploading the files.
Set file's permissions
Linux servers
Change the permissions of folder "/path-to-filerun/system/data/", and all its containing files and folders to 0777. You can do that with the following command:
chmod -R 0777 /path-to-filerun/system/data
Windows servers
You need to right click the folder "/path-to-filerun/system/data/" and add the system user "USR_<computer-name>" (Internet guest account) user to the list of users who have access to the folder, enabling the "Write" permission.
Start web based installation wizard
- Open the folder's web address inside a browser.
- Follow the installation wizard to setup the database.
Troubleshooting
Fatal error: Unable to read 256 bytes in [...]
That usually happens when FileRun's PHP files were uploaded in the wrong FTP mode. Please read the note at the step 2 above.
Blank page
The blank pages are usually hiding PHP errors. If you set "display_errors = On" in your PHP configuration file, the possible errors will be displayed.
Garbled text
Zend Optimizer must be installed and enabled on your server in order to run FileRun.
If your site is hosted with a Web hosting company, chances are you already have the Zend Optimizer plugin installed. If it's not installed, then they might install it for you upon request.
If you own the server, you can freely download Zend Optimizer from Zend.com
The download page is: [[1]]
Cannot pass the "MySQL configuration" installation step: "Please enter the MySQL server!"
You should check the value of "post_max_size" PHP configuration directive. This usually happens, when a value greater than "1.9G" ("1900M") is set, on a 32 bit server.
