TechNote
Installing Admin Panel on a server

Product: Admin Panel


 Mioplanet Admin Panel can be installed on any server supporting PHP 4 or later. No database is required.

More information: Where to host Mioplanet Admin Panel.

It is generally recommended to use HTTPs to secure the connection.

Important:
The installation of the Mioplanet Admin Panel requires a good knowledge of the server where the application is to be hosted.
Please ask for assistance if you are not the server administrator.

Installing Mioplanet Admin Panel and any other script provided by Mioplanet is at your own risk.
 

Installing Mioplanet Admin Panel

 

1.Download the Admin Panel files here:

Mioplanet Admin Panel files

2.Unzip the file in your server. A folder /panel will be created.

3.Open the file panel/index.php from your web browser.
A basic setup will be done.

A default account is created with access to all the applications and feeds you will configure later:
Login Name: admin
Password: rimouski (you can change the password when logged)

4.Add a first application: go to the tab Admin, then choose New Product.
 

Configuration

 
When setup is completed, the folder panel/ contains the following sub-folders:

   yourserver/
      panel/
         config/
            accounts/
            alerts/
            channels/
            servers/
            software/
            tasks/ ((optional)
         engine/ (application Scripts)
         live/ (XML configuration files and feeds)
            alerts (XML feeds optimized for alerts)
            rss (RSS feeds for news or alerts)
         media/ (Graphics and other media files)


Folder live

 
This folder contains the files updated by Mioplanet Admin Panel and downloaded by the client-side application:

XML configuration files, to be downloaded by the client-side applications.

XML feeds optimized for alerts in the sub-folder alerts.

RSS feeds for the news in the sub-folder rss.

You can change the folders from the Mioplanet Admin Panel configuration files (see below).
 


HTTPs

 
HTTPs is supported by Mioplanet Admin Panel.
When possible, you should have an HTTPs access for the admin panel, and an HTTP access for the files stored in panel/live/ and downloaded frequently by all the computers running the application. HTTPs is slower and uses CPU as data is encrypted.
 


Statistics

 

An additional folder must be created if you want to use the statistics.
This folder will contain the data sent by the client application and will be read by Mioplanet Admin Panel.
This folder should be located at the same level than panel, or elsewhere.

Please check the access rights to the files.
PHP must have read/write access rights to all the XML files and to the files stored in the folder stats.

The configuration files are stored sub-folders.
