Quick Installation

Manual Installation

• Create a directory under your cgi-pub for tiro. Say, cgi-pub/tiro/.

• Copy the tiro.cgi file as well as the assignments, submissions and system directories into cgi-pub/tiro/.

• VERY IMPORTANT: Configure your folder permissions.

On Apache this is done via .htaccess. TODO. Set permissions.

• Configure your server to use HTTPS authentication

• On most Apache installations this is as simple as editing cgi-pub/.htaccess to contain the following lines and making sure the .htaccess has group and world read permissions: <Files tiro.cgi> AuthType KerberosV5 AuthName “UITS Network ID” Require valid-user >/Files<

• Configure your installation. See the CONFIG document.
