Before you install the Calendar Administrator

Upgrading from pre-5.3 versions

Version 5.4 of the Calendar Administrator does not offer an automatic upgrade over pre-5.3 versions. If you have already installed an earlier version of the Calendar Administrator and wish to install 5.4, you will have to either move or remove the old installation before you install the new version.

If you have made modifications to your templates that you wish to keep, you can easily merge your changes with the new version.

  1. Rename your current <cgi-bin>/caladmin directory to <cgi-bin>/caladmin-5.2.
  2. Follow the instructions below to install Calendar Administrator 5.4.
  3. Copy your old uniwebadm.ini from <cgi-bin>/caladmin-5.2 to <cgi-bin>/caladmin.
  4. Copy the new 32.evtcals-evts-attributes.html and 32.holidays-attributes.html files from <cgi-bin>/caladmin/templates to your own template directory. If you have already modified these files yourself in your own template directory, you will have to merge the changes.
  5. If your template directory is nested within your Calendar Administrator installation directory (as it is by default), copy your template directory from <cgi-bin>/caladmin-5.2 to <cgi-bin>/caladmin.

How to install the Calendar Administrator

  1. UNIX: Open the cts-webadmin-<operating system and version>.tar.gz package and run the installation script:
    ./webadminsetup
    Windows: Double-click the Calendar Administrator self-extracting executable.
  2. Follow the directions displayed. You may be asked for any of the following items, depending on your operating system:
    • User Name and Group Name: under UNIX, the user and group names of your Web server application.
    • Cgi-bin or fcgi-bin directory: the directory from which you have configured your Web server to run CGI or FastCGI applications. For example, /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin or C:\Program Files\server01\cgi-bin. The Calendar Administrator will run as either a CGI or FastCGI depending on your choice.
    • URL prefix for the cgi-bin or fcgi-bin directory: the URL path to the cgi-bin or fcgi-bin directory, from the root of your Web server. For example, if you access your Web server's cgi-bin directory at the following URL:
      http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin
      then you should supply simply /cgi-bin/ in response to this question. Be sure to include forward-slashes at both the beginning and end of this string.
    • Document root or primary document directory of your Web server: the directory from which you have configured your Web server to display HTML documents. For example, /usr/local/apache/htdocs or C:\Program Files\server01\docs.
    • SYSOP password.
    • Site Name: the name of your organization, as you would like it displayed in the Calendar Administrator.
    • Directory for temporary sessions files: this directory stores information about the current sessions of administrators as they sign in to the Calendar Administrator. The application periodically deletes outdated information from this directory.

When your installation is complete, point your browser to: 

http://<yourwebserver>/<cgi-bin>/caladmin/uniwebadm.cgi?CADMType=CADMClusterAdmin&CADMObject=CADMLogin

or 

http://<yourwebserver>/<fcgi-bin>/caladmin/uniwebadm.fcgi?CADMType=CADMClusterAdmin&CADMObject=CADMLogin

to begin using the Calendar Administrator.
