Web Server

You run the program remotely by installing it on a web server and running it using CGI. (Note the security warning, below.)

The following files are needed for CGI execution:

• prsslistcgi.pl
• prsslist.pm
• prsslistLicense.pm

For example, you could install it in the cgi-bin/prsslist directory and invoke it with a browser with the following URL:

• http://www.you.com/cgi-bin/prsslist/prsslistcgi.pl

Before installing prsslist for remote access, make sure that you are aware of the security issues it may raise. For example, the “Local Filename” setting lets the user save the result anywhere the program has access. When run remotely, you may want to protect the program with a password (such as by using .htaccess) so that only authorized users can run it. For this reason, install and use remote access with caution.

Also, if you are installing prsslist in a new directory, be aware that prsslist needs to have permission to create and modify the data files, and some cases a temp file used to do FTP, in the working directory. Therefore, make sure that when run by the web server daemon prsslist has permission to create files in the directory (for example, that the directory is in the web server’s group “apache” with write permission to the group).
