Below are the steps to install DueToExpire.com Pro.

1. Open dtepro.cgi and edit the first line to point to the path to perl on your server.
(This can usually be left alone, but the path could be #!/usr/local/bin/perl)

2. Edit the variables in dtepro.cgi to reflect how you want the script to operate and then, save.

The variables are:

# List of domain names that should be ignored. These names will certainly not expire and will save 
# time be not having to be checked multiple times.
@filter = ('lycos','google','aol','yahoo','geocities');

# Select which domains you want to search, put 1 for yes, 0 for no
# The .org extention has gone through some changes, so setting to 1 (yes) could produce inaccurate results.
$com="1";
$net="1";
$org="0";

####  Proxy Support ####
# Proxy server should be listed in the following format: SERVER:PORT
# Example: 216.79.18.62:8080
# SET "0" to disable proxy
$prxy ="0";

# Select the time frame you want DueToExpire Pro to search.
# For example, if I want to find domain names that expire within the next 3 months, set to "m3";
#
# for within next month, set "m1"
# for within next 3 months, set "m3"
# for within next 6 months, set "m6"
# for within next 9 months, set "m9"
# for within next 12 months, set "m12"
# for within this year only, set "this";

$when = "m6";

$path = "/home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/duetoexpire";

BE SURE YOUR PATH IS THE FULL SERVER PATH, NOT A URL.

3. Create a directory in your cgi-bin (or cgi executable directory) called "duetoexpire" (without quotes).

4. Upload the following file to the directory you created.

	dtepro.cgi

5. DueToExpire Pro will check both Yahoo and Dmoz categories at the same time, but it's better to separate them. Included in the zip file were two folders. One called yahoo, the other called dmoz. Withing those folders is a file called url.list. This is the file that contains the list of categories that DueToExpire Pro will be checking. Upload either file to the same directory that you uploaded dtepro.cgi to.

** Note** If you want DueToExpire Pro to check all the categories in both yahoo and dmoz, you'll have to copy one list into the other. This is not recommended, but is an option.

6. Using your FTP, Telnet or SSH client, CHMOD dtepro.cgi to 755

7. Installation is complete!

8. Open up your Telnet or SSH client and login to your acount.

9. CD (change directory) to the duetoexpire directory on your server
This is usually done by typing: cd /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/duetoexpire
Be sure to use YOUR full path, not the example.

10. Type the command "perl dtepro.cgi" (without quotes)

11. DueToExpire Pro will automatically create a file called "domains.txt" in the directory that dtepro.cgi is in. This contains the domain names and other information that DueToExpire Pro finds. The data is in 'comma delimited' format. This is so you can import the information into a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel and have the ability to sort by domain name or drop expiration date.

12. You're done! Just leave your Telnet or SSH client open and DueToExpire Pro will find hundreds or even thousands of domain nnames for you!

DueToExpire Pro will be checking thousands of domain names. Depending on the number of categories it is checking and the time period selected, it will take many hours to complete the search. This is normal. It also depends on the speed of your server and connection.

You may set up a cron job to run DueToExpire Pro. I suggest only running it once or twice a month. If you run it every day, you'll just get the same information.
