Last modified: 05 Oct 2007

WARNING: This documentation covers Parallels H-Sphere versions up to 3.1. For the latest up-to-date Parallels H-Sphere documentation, please proceed to the official Parallels site.

Prior to WebShell 4 installation, make sure you have PHP 4.3.1 or higher (except for PHP 5.x for H-Sphere 2.5 or earlier). To make sure you have all required libraries, install PHP from the zip archive, not from the self-extracting executable.

1. Download the latest stable WebShell 4 installation:
   • H-Sphere 2.5:
     http://www.psoft.net/shiv/HS/WebShell/U25.0/WebShell4.3.10.exe
   • H-Sphere 3.0:
     http://www.psoft.net/shiv/HS/WebShell/U30.0/WebShell4.3.10.exe
2. Run the file from the command line. Once you see the message "WebShell was installed successfully", you can access it from the control panel.
3. Restart IIS.

To upgrade WebShell, simply install the new version on top of the old one.

Important: To ensure correct Webshell functionality, please check that the following parameter is set in the php.ini file:

Without this option, setting the cookies will be blocked, and Webshell won't work.
