2.3.1 - Pre-Install Procedures
Before installing GPTEngine™ you have to determine the following:

- Your domain name and the URL of your site.
- The root directory of your pages at the web server.

Lets, suppose that your domain name is yourdomain.com with the url http://www.yourdomain.com and your directory at web server is joe, so, you will have the following directories structure:
Where the dir www (sometimes named public_html or default) is the default web directory for the which http://www.yourdomain.com points to.
Note, also, the location of the cgi-bin directory from the which the *.cgi files will run (you may have that directory on another location, but, in that case, you would have to edit the template page to include the changes).
The directory tp (can't be renamed) is required by GPTEngine™ to work, and must be left empty.
Once the above directories are created, set the permissions as the following:

- www: world readable.
- pages: world readable.
- docs: world readable.
- cgi-bin: cgi world readable and world executable.
- tp: world readable and world writeable.

So, you will have the following URL's:

- Site: http://www.yourdomain.com
- Pages: http://www.yourdomain.com/pages
- Documentation: http://www.yourdomain.com/docs
- Executable files: http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/

Now, you can proceed to GPTEngine™ files uploading and installation.
