ClaudSearch integration module system requirements

To be able to successfully install and use the CloudSearch integration module, you must have a working copy of X-Cart Gold or X-Cart Pro already installed on your server.

Note: If you do not remember the version of X-Cart on which your store is based, you can look it up in the Environment info section of the Summary page in X-Cart Admin area.

Installation and removal

The CloudSearch integration module installation process is the same for both X-Cart Gold and X-Cart Pro.

To install the ClaudSearch integration module:

1. Obtain a distribution package for the module by downloading it from the File Area section of your X-Cart Account account. The distribution package you need is archived in the file isearch-x.y.z.tgz, where x, y and z indicate the version of the module. Make sure the version of the module matches the version of your copy of X-Cart.
2. Copy the distribution package to the X-Cart root directory on your server or hosting account.
   • If you use a Windows-based server or a UNIX-based server without terminal access:

   a) Extract the contents of the archive with the CloudSearch integration module files to a directory on your system using your favorite compression program (WinZIP or any other archiver that supports TAR files).

   b) Use an FTP client to upload all the files extracted from the archive (retaining the directory structure) to the X-Cart root directory on your server or hosting account.

   • If you use a UNIX-based server with terminal access:

   a) Use an FTP client to upload the archive with the CloudSearch integration module distribution package to the X-Cart root directory on your server or hosting account.

   b) Decompress the package using the following command:

   tar -xzvf isearch-x.y.z.tgz

   Important: Make sure that you maintain the directory structure while unpacking and uploading the distribution package; otherwise, some critical files can be overwritten!

3. In a web browser, run the installation script at httр://www.example.com/install-isearch.php, replacing www.example.com with the actual domain name of your X-Cart based store.
4. Enter the Auth code, accept the License Agreement and click the Next button.

   Note: The Auth code is a random code that was generated after you installed your copy of X-Cart. If you do not remember the Auth code, find it on the Summary page in X-Cart Admin area before the License info subsection. Another way to find out the code is to retrieve the value of the variable $installation_auth_code from the file<xcart_dir>include/install.php .

5. The installation script copies the files and activates the module. Click the Next button to continue.
6. The installation script generates a new system fingerprint. Click the Next button to complete the installation.
7. Use the ADMINISTRATOR AREA link to log in to the Admin area.

To uninstall the CloudSearch integration module:

1. In a web browser, run the installation script at httр://www.example.com/install-isearch.php, replacing www.example.com with the actual domain name of your X-Cart based store.
2. Choose the Uninstall the module option, enter the Auth code, accept the License Agreement and click the Next button.
3. Once the installation script has removed the CloudSearch integration module files and deactivated the module, click the Next button to complete the uninstallation.
4. On the Uninstallation complete screen, click Next to leave the Wizard.
   
   Important: After you have uninstalled the CloudSearch integration module, be sure to remove the CloudSearch integration module distribution package from your web directory as well.
