Installation guide for Thin Image Upload.
=========================================

Thin Image Upload is compatible with a wide range of server-side 
scripting languages. Before you begin the installation please make
sure that your scripting engine has been correctly configured and your
server is capable of accepting a file upload.


With PHP
--------
Change into the web folder. Open the upload.php file with your text
editor. Change the $save_path variable to the folder on your server
where you wish to save the uploaded files.

Place the test.html and upload.php files on the webserver. Point your
browser at test.html and carry out a form based file upload. The files
that you upload will show up in the directory you have chosen for the
$save_path. This step helps to ensure that your server is correctly
configured to accept file uploads.

Open thinupload.properties in your text editor. Change the url property
so that it points to the upload.php you placed on your server. Now move
this file along with ThinImageDemo.jar and applet.php into a folder in
your webspace.

The upload.php is a sample PHP script provided to get you started on
drag and drop file upload. You may need to modify the script for a
better fit with your website or web application.


With Perl
---------
Please copy upload.cgi to your /cgi-bin/ directory and change it's
permissions to 755. Move test-perl.html to a folder outside the cgi-bin
and open it using your browser and test your server configuration by
trying out a form based file upload.

Edit thinupload.properties so that the url parameter now points to the
upload.cgi script inside the cgi-bin folder. Now move japplet.html,
ThinUploadDemo.jar and thinupload.properties to your server. change the 
upload.cgi to set the save path.


With Other Technologies
-----------------------
Thin upload will work with any scripting/programming language that can
accept a file upload. If you are using a techonology other than perl or
PHP, please follow the instructions in your developers manual to set up
file uploading. Then simply replace the html form with japplet.html.
Make sure to edit the properties file so that the url property points
to the script that will accept the incoming files.


Image Resize
------------
To resize images open thinupload.properties in your editor and enable
the scale_images property. More detailed instructions are included in
this properties file.


Each licence of Thin Image applet allows your to install the applet
on a single website.
