[Xitami] Xitami Setup

Sun Jan 15 21:05:06 CET 2006

As for Perl just download the usual Win package and run the installer.

As for RealVNC, dowload and install the full package only on the server and 
use the viewer only on your work station to maintain some kind of security.
Open port 5800 and 5900 for your router to allow RealVNC access anywhere.

Also note, if you try to manage the Xitami from RealVNC, you will probably 
need to add a short cut to the folder for Xitami and one for your web 
directory paths if you use the virtual hosts in a separate folder. You will 
also have to right click the folders and other shortcuts and select OPEN 
rather than double click it when you use the viewer, however it seems to 
work ok in the web viewer version.

To log into and admin your Xitami you can then disable your web admin to 
protect xitami better, and also edit the defaults.cfg file manually.

A very helpful hint to use in all this is to add shortcuts to notepad in 
the strategical places like the xitami root foler and your cfg files path.
Then you can drag and drop files there to edit rather than assign generic 
extension tags to allow windows to control each file extension.

Further, to open the web viewer of RealVNC in this, navigate to your IP 
address ###.###.###.###:5800 to log in and you're set.
