PERL API SETUP


LinkPoint API Adobe Acrobat PDF manual

NOTE: If your web site is hosted by GoDaddy you will NOT be able to use LinkPoint API because they block port 1129. You can try to contact Godaddy to see if they will unblock this port otherwise you will have to use the Connect option.

Before you begin using LinkPoint API you will also need to download the PEM file.
NOTE: The LinkPoint PEM can not be installed on the web server as a SSL certificate.
  1. Log into LinkPoint Central
  2. Click on Support on the top menu.
  3. On the left menu click on Download Center
  4. Click on Download PEM
  5. Save the file to your desktop
  6. Upload the PEM file to the root of your web site or any other folder.
    If your web site is on a UNIX server you need to make sure you upload the file in ASCII (text) format.

STAGING SERVER
If you are using the staging server you will need to make a change to lpperl.pm
Do a search for $args
CODE
$args = "-m 300 -s -S";

Make the following change:
CODE
$args = "-m 300 -k -s -S";

Scroll down a couple lines and you will find the following:
CODE
foreach (qw !-m 300 -s -S!) { push @prm, $_; }

Make the following change:
CODE
foreach (qw !-m 300 -k -s -S!) { push @prm, $_; }
