How do I setup my Self-Hosted plan?

The Self-Hosted plan requires that you upload the Quixly Remote script to your server. This script will enable your server to talk with Quixly and pass information back and forth about your files. Run the Server Compatibility Test to see if your server is compatible with Quixly.
Here's how to set up your server for the Self-Hosted plan:

  • In a new window, navigate to your Quixly account and login.
  • Click on the "Accounts" tab.
  • Make sure the option "Self-Hosted" in the "Account Type" section is selected.
  • We'll add the "URL of Quixly Remote script" value in later. For now, click the "Download Quixly Remote Script" link.
  • Unzip the Quixly Remote Script and follow the instructions found in the "READ_ME.txt" file.
  • Once finished, go back to the "Accounts" tab in your Quixly account.
  • Add the URL that points to the Quixly Remote script on your sever, into the field labeled "URL of Quixly Remote script".
    Example: http://files.mysite.com/some_folder/quixly_remote.php
  • Click save, and your done!

If you use both the Self-Hosted account and a Custom Domain name, you will need to do the following:

  • Open the corssdomain.xml file found inside the Quixly Remote Package
  • Right after the line:
    <allow-access-from domain="*.quixly.com" />
  • Add this line:
    <allow-access-from domain="*.mysite.com" />

    You will need to change "mysite.com" to the domain that you are using as your Custom Domain.

The System Requirements for any server running the Quixly Remote script are:

  • PHP 5.2 or greater
  • PHP cURL support
  • Access to change directory permissions (ex: change directory to permissions of 777)
