Zelune has made its official release to the public; Zelune is a web proxy script similar to cgi-Proxy and PHProxy but offers a lot more speed. Zelune is coded in PHP using cURL, to optimize performance.
Files
Zelune offers an easy to edit library of files; it is recommended that you do not edit index.php or js/main.js. These are the files that will help to keep your proxy running; home.php and form.php can be edited without squashing a tomato.
Files included in the package:
/cookies - Cookies that are obtained when people use your proxy will be stored here; to avoid cached pages appearing, clear this folder regularly.
/js - The JavaScript files that are required to keep your proxy running are stored here.
/js/main.js - This is the main JavaScript file; if you do not know what you are doing, do not edit it.
/uploads - In case a website uploads any content to your proxy (i.e. a web ftp), the content will be stored in this folder.
form.php - This is the form that will appear on every proxified page that is visited; edit this file to add/remove ads.
home.php - This is the home page; edit this file if you wish to add/remove any ads or to create a proxy template.
index.php - After the form on home.php has been submitted, index.php will process all the “behind the scenes data;” do not edit this file unless you know what you are doing.
Read Me.txt - Read Me contains the release information about your proxy; you do not need to upload this file.
Installation
Step one: Upload all of the files except Read Me.txt onto a server (or a shared hosting account) that allows proxies; we recommend GoDaddy.
Step two: CHMOD the folder “cookies” to 777 (this can be done using a File Manager or a File Transfer Protocol). If you are using a Windows server, move onto step four.
Step three: CHMOD the folder “uploads” to 777 (this can be done using a File Manager or a File Transfer Protocol).
Step four: Ensure that “safe_mode” is off (this may already be the default settings on your server; if not, use the file “php.ini” to resolve the issue).
Step five: Ensure that “open_basedir” is UNSET (this may already be the default settings on your server; if not, use the file “php.ini” to resolve the issue).
Step six: Visit your root domain and test out your brand new proxy.
