I. Create a directory for Reflector (Assumes IIS 4.0)
Use the IIS Server Manager to create a new directory for Reflector. Make sure
you place this directory in a CGI-enabled directory. Unzip the reflector.zip file in this directory so that all of the files are located within the new reflector directory.
For non-IIS 4.0 webservers follow the standard procedures for creating a
CGI-enabled directory to store the Reflector software and data.
II. Create an application (Assumes IIS 4.0)
Using the IIS Server Manager select the directory you created for Reflector
and create an application for it (call it Reflector, or whatever else you
wish).
Next use the Configuration utility to create a mapping for .pl files to execute as Perl scripts, unless this mapping already exists. The mapping should look like:
.pl => C:\Perl\Bin\Perl.Exe %s %s
(substitute the correct Perl location if yours differs).
This mapping will instruct IIS to execute all .pl files using the perl interpreter.
NOTE: If you do not use IIS 4.0 you will need to use the appropriate methods
for creating a CGI-enabled directory.
III. Make the db directory writable (Assumes IIS 4.0)
The IIS Server Manager allows you to specify a directory as being writable,
this allows the webserver to write to files contained within it. Set the db directory to be writable.
For non-IIS 4.0 webservers follow the standard procedure for setting the
db directory to be webserver-writable.
IV. Edit the reflector.pl and report.pl files.
Use your favorite text editor to open the files reflector.pl and report.pl.
In reflector.pl you must make the following change:
On line 32 you must set the $database variable to point to the reflector.db file that was unpacked with your reflector.zip file (in the db directory). An example setting would be:
$database = "C:/InetPub/Scripts/Reflector/db/reflector.db";
Note: Use forward slashes ('/') instead of the Dos standard backslash,
Perl will cause you some headaches otherwise, and the data recording
will likely not function.
(be sure to specify a directory which is valid on your system)
In the report.pl file you must make the following two changes:
1. Set the $cgi_url variable (line 32) to be the absolute url which points to your report.pl file.
$cgi_url = "http://yourdomain.com/Scripts/reflector/report.pl";
2. On line 33 you will see the familiar $database variable, set this to the same value you chose for the reflector.pl file.
Save your changes and exit your editor.
That's all there is to the installation
