Wacs Installation Guide

Abstract

WACS is a tool for building Adult Web Sites; it is equally suitable for managing a private collection or building a commercial web site. It has many best of breed features including dynamic filtering, model catalogs, automatic download and powerful search engine. It comes with a powerful API (application programming interface) implemented in both Perl and PHP7 languages to allow web developers to leverage it's facilities from their own programs.

This book describes the actions required to install the WACS System onto a suitable host system (typically a server). The intended audience is system administrators and prospective WACS site managers wishing to install WACS on a machine. The guide will try to cover three types of installation: Packaged installation (using RPMs on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, DEBs on Ubuntu/Debian), installation onto a WebHost environment and manual installation on other Unix/Linux versions.

The WACS source code and other documentation and support tools can all be found at the WACS website at Sourceforge and at the Wacs page on launchpad.net. A demonstration site built using the WACS tools can be found at PinkMetallic.com - CAUTION: contains adult material. Commercial add-ons and support options can be purchased from Bevtec Communications Ltd, see their website at Bevtec Communications.
