Installing and Upgrading Chili!Soft ASP for Cobalt

To install Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 for Cobalt systems, you simply run the .pkg file, according to the instructions provided with your software.

Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 is installed to the following directory:

/home/chiliasp

During installation, the setup program automatically configures your Apache Web Server to run with Chili!Soft ASP. You do not need to take any additional steps to configure your Web server.

Important

The setup program sets the username and password required to access the Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console to "admin" and "root." You should change these settings as soon as possible, as described in "Configuring Usernames and Passwords" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP."

Following installation, if you have a locale other than US English defined for your server, you should change the locale setting for Chili!Soft ASP to match it. For instructions, see "Configuring International Support" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP."

If you are upgrading to Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 from 3.5.2, you must take the following steps to complete the upgrade:

·   If you were running SpicePack with your previous installation of Chili!Soft ASP 3.5.2, you need to obtain the updated version, SpicePack 1.1, from the Chili!Soft Web site and then install it. When you provide your SpicePack serial number, you can obtain a free updated version at:

·   Files contained under the Chili!Soft ASP installation directory (/home/chiliasp) will be overwritten. Be sure to move any files you do not want to lose before performing the upgrade.

·   Verify that any system DSNs defined for your previous installation are functioning correctly. For more information, see "Testing a DSN" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP." If they are not functioning, you can create or edit the system DSNs as needed, as described in "Configuring Data Source Names (DSNs)" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP." You can find the configuration information for the system DSNs that were defined for your previous installation in the following file:

/home/chiliasp/INSTALL/settings.import

·   The Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 setup program sets inherit_user to "yes" by default. This setting can have important security implications for your server. Be sure to read "Setting the Security Mode" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP" for more information about configuring this setting appropriately for your environment.

·   The Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 setup program sets EnableParentPaths to "no" by default. This setting can have important security implications for your server. Be sure to read "Configuring File System Access" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP" for more information about configuring this setting appropriately for your environment.
