ASP Online Interface Setup
IIS
4.0 for NT Server
IIS 5.0 Windows 2000
Server
Make sure that IIS 4.0 (NT) or IIS
5.0(2000) is properly installed and running on the
server.
WWW Service Setup
- On an NT 4.0 machine, make sure the JScript Engine
(ste50en.exe), discussed in step 4.d. of the hardware
vendor checklist, is installed properly.
- Create an ASP directory in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\.
This may differ if your IIS directory is on a
different drive, but usually is is on the C drive.
- Set proper rights in the File System for online
setup (These steps ensure that the setup pages
work. Therefore, if you do not want to enable
online setup, this step is not necessary.):
- In Windows Explorer, right click on the newly
created ASP directory and go to the properties
option.
- Under the Security tab, click on the permissions
button.
- Make sure that IUSR_COMPUTERNAME user has full
control for the ASP directory. Also make sure that
the "replace permissions on subdirectories" box near
the top of the window is NOT
checked.
- Setting up the application on the server.
- Open a session of Microsoft Internet Service
Manager in the Microsoft Management Console
(MMC). Usually found in
Start>Programs>NT 4.0 Option Pack>Internet
Information Server. In Windows 2000 Server
Start>Programs>Administrative
Tools>Internet Server
- Expand the default web site branch.
- You will now see an ASP directory underneath the
default website root. Right click on the
directory and choose properties.
- On the first tab, in the Application Settings
frame, click on the create button. This allows
ASP pages to be run.
- Settings applied to the entire ASP site:
- If the button just right of the Name
textbox says Create. . ., click on it and
you will see the text boxes enabled.
- Script rights should be selected in the
permissions dropdown box (The drop down box
on the bottom).
- Read rights checked.
- Do not allow indexing of the
directory!!!
- Click on the Configure. . . Button.
- In a box like the one displayed below, notice
the .asa and the .asp extensions in the list
(shown below). For security purposes, add a .bak,
.list, .stay and .tmp extension and copy the path
out of the .asp properties. The file is most
likely: C:\winnt\system32\asp.dll, but it could be
slightly different.
- Click OK to close out this box and
click OK in the ASP box.
- At this point in the MMC, your First Resort
folder has turned into a little blue/green box that
has something coming out of the top. This
indicates successful creation of the application.
Browsing to the http://MACHINE_IP/ASP/Availability/Search.asp
to bring up the search page should now be possible.
- While you have a copy of this web server
management tool open, delete your IISSamples and
IISHelp directories under your default website. This
removes a potential security risk to your Online
Interface.
FTP Service Setup
- On the left frame of the management console (MMC)
where you see your server name and the services
underneath it, highlight default FTP Site, right click
on it and choose properties. Make sure that no
anonymous access is allowed. This will allow
First Resort to get in using the account
- Now you will create a virtual FTP directory and
map it to your ASP directory. The easiest way to
accomplish this is to use the wizard.
- Name this virtual directory ASP
- Give it read and write access
- You can leave this directory hidden or create a
directory in your ftproot directory of the same name
and it will show up when you login.
Finalizing Service Setup
- Start and Stop both your FTP and WWW services to
make sure the changes take effect.
- Test the FTP login by using the assigned First
Resort username and password.
- Close your MMC.
