How to install BlobViewer.

1. Download the package source here.
   
     root@devel# wget .../BlobViewer-xx-yy-zz.tar.gz
    
2. Enter into you WebGUI root directory (default is /data/WebGUI)
   
       root@devel# cd /data/WebGUI
    
3. Extract BlobViewer into this directory
   
     root@devel# tar zxvf /dir/where/you/saved/BlobViewer-xx.yy.zz.tar.gz
    

   These files will be installed:

   • read1st-BlobViewer.txt
   • docs/BlobViewer/create.sql
   • docs/BlobViewer/create_01_pre_06_01.sql
   • docs/BlobViewer/install.txt
   • docs/BlobViewer/readme.txt
   • docs/BlobViewer/uninstall.sql
   • docs/BlobViewer/changelog/00.xx.xx.txt
   • lib/WebGUI/Wobject/BlobViewer.pm
   • lib/WebGUI/i18n/English/BlobViewer.pm
   • lib/WebGUI/i18n/Italian/BlobViewer.pm
   • lib/WebGUI/Help/BlobViewer.pm

    

4. Execute sql query script (change the WebGUI database name to your database name)
   
     root@devel# mysql -p WebGUI < docs/BlobViewer/create.sql
    
5. If your WebGUI version is prior than 06.01.xx you must also execute this script

   
     root@devel# mysql -p WebGUI < docs/BlobViewer/create_01_pre_06_01.sql
    

6. Edit WebGUI.conf file to add BlobViewer module to Wobject list
   
     root@devel# vi /data/WebGUI/etc/WebGUI.conf
     ...
     wobjects = Article, EventsCalendar, ExtraColumn, FAQ, FileManager, \
     HttpProxy, Item, LinkList, DataForm, MessageBoard, Poll, Product, \
     SiteMap, SQLReport, Survey, SyndicatedContent, USS, WobjectProxy, \
     BlobViewer
     ...
    
7. To use Automatic detection of mime types, download CPAN module File::MMagic here or use your CPAN module
   
   perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::MMagic'.
   
   This is an optional module but if you don't install it, you must choose correct content-type for your BLOB binary data a priori.
    
8. Restart web server (this shouldn't be necessary...)
