Dev7 Studio - v7.22

Release Date: 22/3/2023

MEGAVAST DEV7 Studio Project

The Dev7 Studio is a powerful project aimed at providing an advanced environment for managing and executing web development projects. This document serves as a guide to setting up and navigating the various components of the Dev7 Studio.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have Perl installed on your system as the project relies on Perl scripts for its operations.

Installing Perl

1. Linux/Unix/MacOS: Perl is usually pre-installed. You can check by running perl -v in your terminal. If it's not installed, you can install it via your package manager (e.g., sudo apt-get install perl for Debian-based systems).
2. Windows: Download and install Strawberry Perl or ActivePerl from their respective websites.

Getting Started

Upon initialization, Dev7 Studio loads necessary parameters to set up the environment for the MEGAVAST DEV7 project. The configuration details are as follows:

• Project Name: MEGAVAST DEV7
• File Name: dev7
• Paths:
  • CGI-Bin Path: /var/www/cgi-bin/MEGAVAST/CMS
  • HTML Directory: $path/CODE
  • Code Directory: $path/CODE
  • Code Backup Directory: $path/CODE/BACKUP (Main backup directory which may include multiple backup directories)
  • Log Directory: $path/LOG/ (Stores log files)
  • HTML Path: /var/www/html/CMS
• URLs:
  • Base URL: https://www.megavast.com/cms
  • Images URL: https://www.megavast.com/images

The system also handles user inputs through various parameters (e.g., editor_choice, content, save_page) to manage page editing and saving tasks dynamically.

Ensure that all directories mentioned in the paths are properly set up and have the correct permissions for reading and writing. This setup is crucial for the system to function properly.

• Dynamic Content Management: Supports dynamic adjustments and updates to content without manual file handling.

Usage

1. Load Parameters: Initialize the environment by loading necessary parameters.
2. Manage Content: Use the provided URLs and paths to manage project content effectively.
3. Documentation and Backup: Ensure documentation and backups are handled automatically to prevent data loss.

Basic Commands
