Click 'Admin Tools'

Check the webserver type (Choose UNIX for all versions of UNIX including Linux. NT for all versions of NT and MS IIS servers).

Full or relative URL of the CGI - Type in the web address of the sales admin CGI or its relative URL. e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/salesadm.cgi or /cgi-bin/salesadm.cgi This filename must be different to the order processing CGI.

Organization - Your company name.

Authorization Password - A password to administer. This should not be revealed to the customer or recorded in the 'salesadm.html' file

E_Mail Address - The same as order email.

Click 'Save'. The files, 'salesadm.html' and 'salesadm.cgi' will be created. You may have to place the CGI in /cgi-bin to be functional.

If UNIX webserver, give the command, 'chmod 755 filename' to set the correct protection on the CGI. This can sometimes be easily done via the FTP utility used for transferring the file.
