In each .cgi file, you will need to set the location of Perl 5 on your
server. #!/usr/bin/perl Where /usr/bin/perl is the location of Perl 5. Now, upload ONLY the update.cgi file, in ASCII mode, to the directory where your current AutoRank Pro .cgi files are located. Set the permissions on this file to 755; then bring it up in your browser by calling it from the URL at which it is located. This will update all of your current member database for use with v2.0.0 Next you will need to create a new directory where the script data files will be stored (this is not where the actual .cgi files will be located). We recommend just creating a new directory in the location of your current .cgi files. For example, if your current cgi files are located in /usr/home/username/cgi-bin/autorank then you should create a directory such as /usr/home/username/cgi-bin/autorank/sdata In this new directory you have just created, upload the errors.dat and admin.dat files. Next, open functions.cgi, rankem.cgi, and out.cgi and set the variable in each of these files to the full path of the directory you just created and uploaded the two files to. You can now remove all files from your current cgi directory, and remove the backup directory that was used by AutoRank Pro v1.3.0. Upload all the cgi files into the directory where your cgi files used to be, and chmod them all to 755. Now you are ready to run setup.cgi. Bring it up in your browser by pointing it to the URL at which it is located. This is where you will set all your variables; descriptions of each are included in the setup.cgi form. Use the default password admin to store the variables. Once you have stored the variables you can verify the setup by calling setup.cgi with a ?verify at the end of it. (ie http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/autorank/setup.cgi?verify). If all tests pass, you'll need to go to the admin script and setup headers, footers, list breaks, signup page HTML, and table or template properties for your list. After you have done that, re-rank the list using the function included in the admin script. That's all! You should now be able to continue normal script operations. One change is that the addition form is now located at accounts.cgi. Editing and stats is available by calling accounts.cgi with the ?edit on the end (ie http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/autorank/accounts.cgi?edit)

v2.0.x to v2.0.4 Update
To upgrade a v2.0.x to v2.0.4 you will need to update the following files:
Then in setup.cgi you will need to setup a few new variables. Once that is
complete you will be ready to continue use.
