Configuring XULTech Firelinks

Web Site: this is the URL for your server as seen by an external visitor from the internet. For example, http://www.abcd12345.com

Document Root: this is the directory on the server where the files that are publicly accessible through the web are stored. For example, if your home directory is /home/user02 then the document root may be something like /home/user02/public_html. If you are using Microsoft IIS then it is probably c:\inetpub\wwwroot

Resource URL: by default, if the resource files are not found on your server at $DOCUMENT_ROOT/xultech when you first configured Firelinks then all the .css and .png files used by Firelinks are loaded from "http://www.xultech.com/xultech". If your browser is running inside a secure LAN that cannot access http://www.xultech.com then you must install these files on your own server. See the instructions below for more detail.

Allowed Address: this is a space separated list of IP addresses that are allowed to connect to this application. The address can be in either numeric or domain name format. For example 127.0.0.1 53.64.220.14 xultech.com

Password: if you are configuring the system for the first time, then the default password for the admin account is just 123. It is recommended that you change it immediately. If you don't want to change the password for the admin account then simply leave the field blank.

Home Directory: this is the directory on the server where you want the file manager to start on when you sign on as admin. On Linux systems this should be the HOME directory, for example, /home/user02. The home directory is set on a per user basis so that each user can only access a subdirectory on the server.

Security Considerations

For security reasons it is best to run the configuration via SSL. If SSL is not enabled on your server then it is best to use the configuration tool when you are connected to your server inside a secured LAN.

How to install .css and .png on your server

If you have downloaded and unzipped (Windowss) or untarred (Linux) the complete package then you should already have these files installed on your server in a directory called xultech. If not, please follow the instructions below. If you are using Microsoft IIS you also need to create a new virtual directory called xultech that points to this directory.

To install the .css and .png on your own server you have to change the field Resource URL to /xultech. You must also download the file http://www.xultech.com/download/com/download/firelinksresource.zip and unzip it into the directory that maps to http://yourserver.com/xultech on your web server.

If you want to put these files in a directory other than /xultech (or you want to have these file on another server) then you will have to modify the CSS files manually to reflect that. For example, supposed that you want to put all the .css and .png files in http://www.abc123567xyz.com/firelinks, then you should find all references to /xultech such as as

    .delete-button { background-image: url("/xultech/delete.png"); }
in filemanager.css and change it to
    .delete-button { background-image: url("http://www.abc123567xyz.com/firelinks/delete.png"); }
