Installation of the MVD on the global-dialog server 
( other servers may need to adjust certain settings )
written by carve

Create a directory under the document root and chmod
it to 775:

chmod 775 directoryname

An entry will need to be added to the server's httpd.conf
file in order to give the new directory permission to
execute cgi scripts. 

Change the group to wheel so that cgi files can
read and write files in this directory as well
as the owner (this way one doesn't need to login
as root in order to work with the files on the
command line, one can set the ownership of the
directory and the files within to whatever user
will be working with the files, e.g. the admin):

chgrp wheel directoryname

Copy all the files into this directory.  

Chmod the files as shown below:

chmod 775:
  mvl.cgi
  mvladmin.cgi
  searchmvl.cgi

chmod 664:
  AboutMVD.html
  admin.grp
  admin.ul
  *.dat ( carve.dat, posy.dat and valerie.dat )
  doclist.txt
  form.html
  gutl.php
  groups
  index.html
  insert.html
  javascrp
  main.grp
  new files.grp
  new files.ul
  privutl.php
  ul.txt
  upl.php
  uutl.php  

All the rest should be fine the way they were automatically
set when they were copied to the directory. If you get an
error that the mvd couldn't open a certain file for writing
or appending then chmod that file to 664 and try it again
and then let me know and I will add it to the list above

Change the group of all the files in the directory to wheel:

make sure you are in the new directory and -
chgrp wheel *

The following files have variables in the top portion of the file
that will probably need to be set for each particular instance of
the mvd (mostly paths, strings and an admin email addy where notices 
will be sent when files are created, uploaded, updated etc.) :

mvl.cgi
mvladmin.cgi
searchmvl.cgi
gutl.php
privutl.php
upl.php
uutl.php

( to do: perhaps a central config file can be created that all these files
  could share. )

The following file is the userlist. The first entry in this
file will be the administrator for the particular instance
of the mvd:

ul.txt

At present there are 3 users already set in this file:
carve
posy
valerie

With carve as the first entry and therefore the admin.
If you, valerie or posy, are creating a new instance of
the mvd go ahead and move your entry to the first spot 
if you want to be the admin. 

That should be it. Let me know if something doesn't work after
following these procedures or if something is unclear.
