1) download the correct .tar.gz file, matching your OS
2) upload it to /cgi-bin/atx
3) extract and run install-ssh.cgi via shell and select 1) new installation
4) load http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/atx/x/install-web.cgi
5) follow instructions from step 5 in this guide

1. OS detection

The very first step to installing ATX is finding out which OS is running on your server,
so you can download the correct installation package of ATX.

By default almost every unix / linux based operating system (OS) stores the distro / version info in a file or variable.

For bsd systems you can find out the version by typing:
uname -a

This example is running FreeBSD 5.5

On linux systems, you can try the following command
cat /etc/issue

This example is running Fedora Core 4

If that file doesn't exist or doesn't give the right info, try this
ls /etc/ | grep release

Usually a file will appear with a name like
redhat-release
debian-release

To read this file simply type
cat /etc/redhat-release or whatever the file is called, and the version info will appear

This example is running Fedora Core 4

If you're still unable to find out which OS is on your server contact the tech support of your host.

2.1 downloading the installation package

Now that you know which OS you have on your server you can download the corresponding installation package (.tar.gz format)

Linux package V - 64 BIT CentOS 5	download	ATX v1.3-14

2.2 downloading the images

You will also need to download a zip file which contains several images.
http://www.arrowscripts.com/atx/atx.zip

! use the same account for ftp + ssh - do not use root !

3. upload the atx installation files

At this point you should have 2 files on your desktop; atx.tar.gz and atx.zip
One contains the installation files, and one contains several images

1) First extract the zip file with the images.

2) Connect to your server with a FTP client, and browse to the www root directory of your site.
This is the directory where your index.shtml or index.php files are.
The directory usually looks like domain.com/html/ or domain.com/htdocs
In this directory, create a subdirectory, call it atx, and upload the images to it.
URL wise, it looks like this: http://www.domain.com/atx/image.gif

3) With your FTP client, browse to the cgi-bin directory of your site.
This directory usually looks like domain.com/cgi-bin/ or domain.com/htdocs/cgi-bin
In this directory, create a subdirectory, call it atx, and upload atx.tar.gz file to it in binary mode!
URL wise, it looks like this: http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/atx/atx.tar.gz

4) Close your FTP client

4. install atx via shell

1) open your SSH client and once again connect to your server.

When using putty, type your domain in the "Host Name (or IP address) field and click on "Open"

Your server will ask for a username and password. Remember that while you're typing the password nothing will happen on the screen.

After logging in, go to the /cgi-bin/atx directory, where you just uploaded the atx.tar.gz file to.
Type ls -l to display the contents of the directory you're in
Type pwd to display the current path
Type cd dirname to go to a sub-directory named dirname
Type cd ../ to go to a parent directory

Now it's time to extract and install ATX, so type the following commands:
gunzip atx.tar.gz
tar -xvpf atx.tar
chmod 755 install-ssh.cgi
./install-ssh.cgi
1 (new installation)
chmod 0 install-ssh.cgi
rm -f atx.tar

If no errors occured you can close your ssh client by typing exit
If the installer did report any errors, make a screenshot and send it to support@arrowscripts.com

5. install atx via www

ATX is now up and running. Open the following url in your browser:
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/atx/admin.cgi

You will see the following message

ATX is installed but we still need to activate it.
Fill out the domain you've installed ATX on, and the username and password
of your account on our license server at www.aslicense.com

The ATX installation is now done. Proceed to the quick start guide
