License

Purchase of this script entitles the licensee to install one instance of the software on one web site at a time. If you would like to use it on more than one site, please purchase a second copy. You are free to modify the script to fit your needs, but modified or unmodified versions may not be distributed or sold without the express written consent of Danifer Web Services.

Requirements

In order to run this script, your web host provider must:

• Be running a version of PHP4 or higher,
• Provide access to one available MySQL database

Quick Setup

1. To get started, upload the entire contents of the linktrack.zip file to your web host. This script can run in either the public root folder of your web site (http://example.com/), or in a subdirectory (http://example.com/linktrack/)
2. Create a MySQL database, or ask your web host to create one for you. We’ll need the full name of the database as well as your access username and password later on.
3. Edit the file variables.php according to the comments found in that file.
4. Point your web browser to the setup.php file located on your web site. Executing this file will configure your database to work with this script.
5. Once the database has been configured, delete the file setup.php - failure to delete this file may pose a serious security risk.
6. This script includes an .htaccess file to turn
   • urls like http://example.com/index.php?u=aAKsa98&p=track
   • into urls like http://example.com/aAKsa98

   Please edit the portion of the .htaccess file labeled RewriteBase according to the comments in that file.

7. If you would like to change the look and feel of the site, you may edit the header.php and footer.php files using your own html.
