From PsychoStats

	Note: This quick installation guide will only give you a very basic run down of how to install PsychoStats and is meant for experienced users who understand Web servers, MySQL servers, Perl and PHP. Please see the Full Installation Documentation for detailed instructions on setting up PsychoStats on your server if you are unable to follow the instructions below.

Getting Started

Download PsychoStats and unzip the file into a directory that is not accessible from your web server. When you unzip the file it'll create a new directory called PsychoStatsV.vv (where V.vv is the current version of the software).

Setup the Web Server

Copy or upload the contents of the upload directory to your web server. It's recommended that you copy this directory into a sub-directory of your web server with a name of something similar to /stats. The location is entirely up to you. Just make sure the entire upload directory is copied over.

• Optional: Edit the config.php in the new directory you just copied to your web server with the proper database settings for your server.
• Browse to the installation wizard in your stats directory with your browser: http://yoursite.com/stats/install/index.php

Follow the instructions and if all goes well your stats will be fully setup and ready to go. But be sure to at least configure a Log source.

Setup the Perl Backend

In the directory you originally unzipped the file into edit the stats.cfg file with your proper database settings then run your first stats update like this:

stats.pl -v

The -v (or --verbose) switch will allow you to see what it's doing.

If you don't get any errors from the output then you're all done! All you need to do now is schedule a Cron Job or a setup Windows Scheduler to automatically run stats.pl periodically.
