-= Overview =-

Zenutech Download Manager (ZDM) Pro allows you to offer downloads from 
any directory on your server and track those who download files. 
After submitting a form with their e-mail address users are sent 
an e-mail with information to download the file they requested. A 
file can only be downloaded by users who have submitted their 
e-mail address for that file. Other features include configurable 
download expiration, plug-in architecture, and multiple file 
location downloads. This script requires PHP and MySQL.


-= Requirements =-

o    PHP 4.x.x
o    MySQL 4.x.x

ZDM has been tested in the following environments:

Linux, Fedora Core 3
Apache 2.0, MySQL 4.0, PHP 4.3

Linux, Red Hat Linux 9
Apache 1.3, MySQL 4.0, PHP 4.3

MS Windows XP SP1
Apache 1.3, MySQL 4.0, PHP 4.3

Although ZDM has not been tested with other configurations, 
it should work fine with PHP 3.x.x and MySQL 3.x.x as well 
as MS Windows configurations using IIS.

-= Quick Installation =-

o    Decompress the ZDM archive to a local directory on your system.

o    Upload all the files contained in this archive (retaining the 
     directory structure) to a web accessible directory on your server 
     or hosting account.

o    Change the permissions on config.inc.php to be writeable by all 
     (666 or -rw-rw-rw- within your FTP Client)

o    Using your web browser visit the location you placed ZDM with the 
     addition of install/index.php.
	 e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/zdm_pro_1_2/install/index.php

o    Fill out all the requested information and click "Install Now"

o    Change the permissions on config.inc.php to be writeable only by 
     yourself (644 or -rw-r--r-- within your FTP Client)

o    It is recommended that you remove (or rename) the install/ 
     directory to reduce the security vulnerability.


-= Manual Installation =-

o    Extract the package zdm.tar.gz into a directory in your web root.
     (e.g. tar -xzf zdm.tar.gz /home/myusername/public_html/)

o    Run the install/db.sql file on a new or existing database.  This adds 
     the ZDM tables and sample data.
     
     NOTE: if upgrading from the ZDM (free version) 1.1 to ZDM Pro 1.2, you 
     can safely upgrade by running the upgrade_1_1_to_1_2.sql
     script against your current database.

o    Open the config.inc.php file for editing.

o    In config.inc.php modify the 'base_path' and 'base_url' 
     values to point to the directory where you installed ZDM.
     Then configure your database connection details. Make sure 
     to change value of the constant ZDM_INSTALLED to true.
     Any other variables can be changed later.

o    It is recommended that you remove (or rename) the install/ 
     directory to reduce the security vulnerability.

o    Point your browser to the your 'base_url' and 
     customize the interface as needed.


Enjoy!
