X-NG: Fantasy/Science Fiction Name Generator ============================================ Base Requirements: - Apache Web Server (http://www.apache.org) I've not tested this under anything but apache2 but should work on all apache versions that support php4.1.x and perl 5 - Perl 5 or higher (mod_perl) Apache module (http://perl.apache.org) Installing the Package ---------------------- Untar the package into the directory of your webserver that you wish it to run from. (Windows users can use WinZip or WinRAR to uncompress .tar.gz files) tar -zxvf X-NG_v2-0.tar.gz Now you should have a directory called "X-NG/" containing all the files. (Windows users may skip this step) You now need to ensure that "x-ng.pl" is executable by issueing the command: chmod a+x x-ing.pl Next you will want to edit "x-ing.pl" in your favorite text editor and be sure that $htmlstatus is set to "1": # Turn HTML on for use on web. 0 is off. $htmlstatus = "1"; To link to X-NG on your website, the url will be: http://your.website.domain/x-ingdirectory/x-ing.pl It will print the webpage and one name automatically when loaded in your web browser. You may need to modify the html a little bit to make it match the look of your website. I will add theme and template support in a later version. Seh
