Unpack the complete archive to some place.

Select your database type:
MovieTrack	If you are using MovieTrack. Copy all the database files (.dat) in to the "db" directory. These files are located in the ex: "C:\Program Files\MovieTrack\Profiles\name of your profile\ ". The files you shall copy are: Comments.dat (Only if you are still using MovieTrack 3.2) History.dat IMDb.dat Media.dat MovieTrack.dat Copy your "Covers" directory from your profile in MovieTrack directory (ex: "C:\Program Files\MovieTrack\Profiles\name of your profile\Covers") to the "webtrack" (overwriting the one already there), and copy the "Trailers" directory (ex: "C:\Program Files\MovieTrack\Profiles\name of your profile\Trailers") in to the "webtrack" directory (overwrite).
Ant Movie Catalog	If you are using Ant Movie Catalog. Save your database as XML and copy the file to the db directory. Remeber to enter the name of the database file in the config later on. If you want to use a separate folder for your cover pictures copy all pictures to the Covers folder. If not, remember to change the default "Covers" directory in the config when updating your configuration.

Upload the complete "webtrack" directory to the web server. The easiest way to do this is thru a FTP program or some other uploading tool. (It mostly depends what type of site you are using and what type of system they have to upload stuff).

Remember to set the webtrack folder to 777 using "CHMOD" in your FTP program. And if you want to update your movies "online" also set your "Covers" and "db" folders to 777. If this is not done, WebTrack cannot save the settings, users or updates to your system. If you are about to create or update a language file the "webtrack/profiles/your selected style profile/lang" folder also need to have 777. The best thing to do is to set all "lang" folders in all style profiles to 777. Then you can update the language files later on without problems.

Now type http://yoursite/webtrack and follow the instructions, follow the link to the update page and change the values for your needs. If you are using a MovieTrack database the only things you REALLY have to change to just test it is the site URL, owners name and Email address. If you are using a Ant Movie Catalog XML database you also need to change the database type to "AntMovieCatalog", the databasefilename has to be filled in and if you have all your covers pictures in another folder then the "Covers", you need to change that as well. Press the "Save config.php file!". One thing left to do, if you want to be able to send mail from your WebTrack, go in to the "mailer" folder and follow the instructions in the Readme.txt.You just have to enter your ISPs (or your own) SMTP server and if needed username and password to use it then you are all set to go! :) When you have created your config.php file using the http://yoursite/webtrack/update don’t forget to RENAME the “update” directory to something that no one knows about. You can still use the update tool with the new folder name to changes settings. If you don’t rename it, anyone who has read the “install” instructions can download your “config.php” file and there by get all the information inside. That is NOT a good idea if you are running a “login” based WebTrack. :)

Updating the language file is done by using the http://yoursite/webtrack/language page. On this pages you see all the "in code" text that can be displayed in the WebTrack system. You also see a short description of where and/or when the message may appear and you see the default english message. You can now translate all the text if you want, when you press the save button at the end of the page your "language file" in the currently selected style profile will be updated with your changes. This way you can have different style profiles on different languages. Remember, if you select another name of your language file in the update page, WebTrack will try to find that language file in all style profiles. It is a good idea to use the same name for all language files in all style profiles, so when you switch style profile the language file will always be found without needing to use the update page. If however the selected style profile language file is missing, the default english language file will be used. Also, if you don't want people to mess up your language files. Rename the index.php file in the language folder to something else that only you know about. :)

If indeed you are running a Login based WebTracker, you will have to add, edit and remove users from time to time. This is all done from http://yoursite/webtrack/manageusers.php. To login to the management page you will have to use the username and password that you defined in the config.php file earlier. It's VERY important that you change this information to your liking. The default username is "admin" and password is "1234". Users can "add" them self via the "request membership page" that can be reached from the login page. You will then get a mail letting you know that a new user has requested access. Login to the http://yoursite/webtrack/manageusers.php and select the new user, give him the appropriate access and check the "Send verify mail to user". Then click "Update / Save". The user now gets a mail with he's username and password for entering your WebTrack system.

After this just type the url to your site http://yousite/webtrack Hopefully your list will appear... :)

You can if you want rename the ”webtrack” folder to whatever you want. :)

Remember to always use slash (/) when typing paths! Not backslash (\). If you use backslash the search engine will have trouble finding your data if you are not using Microsoft IIS.

If you don NOT have any space on any web server anywhere you can read here how to install one locally for your own home use.

Or you can if you have Windows XP (professional only I think, never used home edition) actually install a “local” web server. If you go to Add or Remove programs and then click Add/Remove Windows Components. In there you can find “Internet Information Services (IIS)”. Install that one and you have your own web server. :)

After this you need to install the PHP support in to the web server. This is a fairly simple thing if you follow the instructions how to do it at the www.php.net web site.

There are limitations in the IIS in XP. But for home use this is not a problem. :)

Good luck now! :)
