Modify Metadot configuration file

Metadot uses a configuration file that associates database information with the web server that you are running. It is located: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/youribay/html/etc 

cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/youribay/html/etc

Edit Metadot.conf you will need to modify these lines in the metadot.conf file to match the location where you install metadot on your server. 

 metadot.conf
Line 16 change the password created in the mysql setup. pass = yourpassword,
Line 34 change /home/e-smith/files/ibays/youribay/html/sitedata/public
Line 108 change to /home/e-smith/files/ibays/youribay/html/sitedata/skins

WARNING Performance configuration

If you don't do this configuration, your metadot site will be extremely poor. 

cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/metadot

edit index.pl and change the top line from #!/usr/bin/perl to #!/usr/bin/speedy. This needs to be done to all .pl files in the metadot/

Example

#!/usr/bin/speedy

Testing the installation

cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/metadot

Next, run the index.pl file on the command line : 

perl index.pl

if no errors go to next step

Metadot Aministration Information

The default out-of-the box user name & password for Metadot is admin and the password is "123456". In your browser, go to the Metadot home page. In the upper right corner click on "Login".

This will take you to the login screen. Log in as 'admin' using the default '123456' password. This will take you back to the main screen.

[Note: If you are using the Konqueror web browser, then it has been reported that you may see an error screen the first time you log in. If you see this, then just go back and then click on 'Home']

Go to the bottom of the page and click "Enable Editing". This will enter edit mode, which will cause the page's edit controls to become visible. Change the password for the Admin user (the site's admin account). Do this in the following manner:

• Log in as admin, as described above.

• Go to "Manage..."->"My Profile". This will take you to the edit profile page for the admin user.

• Change the admin password and save.

Dont change the url in admin
