Install

This guide assumes you have already downloaded PySignup, if you haven't go here first

The following is taken from the README file included with PySignup

Important: you must have Python and a working web server installed, in order to install PySignup

Installation is designed to be as simple as possible, the hardest part will probably be configuring your web server. You need to have a CGI-enabled directory that contains these files, many Operating Systems/web servers come with such a directory already set up (look for a directory named "cgi-bin" or something similar). You can test to see if your directory is properly set up for running CGI scripts by opening index.py in a web browser. If "No settings file detected! Go to change.py to create a settings file" is shown, then your directory is properly setup, otherwise, something is wrong.

Once your directory is properly enabled to use CGI, just open change.py in your web browser. It will ask for a password: the default password is "pysignup", MAKE SURE TO CHANGE THIS using the link at the top. Once you've logged in, modify the different fields as you'd like (it will describe each setting and what you should put), and then click the change button. Note that most of the settings are probably fine left as is, but you will want to change at least the location, nextevent, and sitename settings.

Finally, you should restrict web access to data.py, sessions.py, and settings.conf for security reasons. If using Apache, just set createhtaccess to true using change.py.
