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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.):
    1. In Windows Explorer, right click on the newly created ASP directory and go to the properties option.
    2. Under the Security tab, click on the permissions button.
    3. 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.  
  4. Setting up the application on the server.
    1. 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
    2. Expand the default web site branch.
    3. You will now see an ASP directory underneath the default website root.  Right click on the directory and choose properties.
    4. On the first tab, in the Application Settings frame, click on the create button.  This allows ASP pages to be run.
    5. Settings applied to the entire ASP site:
      1. If the button just right of the Name textbox says Create. . ., click on it and you will see the text boxes enabled.
      2. Script rights should be selected in the permissions dropdown box  (The drop down box on the bottom).
      3. Read rights checked.
      4. Do not allow indexing of the directory!!!
       
    6. Click on the Configure. . . Button.
      1. 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.

      2. Click OK to close out this box and click OK in the ASP box.
    7. 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.
    8. 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

  1. 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
  2. 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.
    1. Name this virtual directory ASP
    2. Give it read and write access
  3. 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

  1. Start and Stop both your FTP and WWW services to make sure the changes take effect.
  2. Test the FTP login by using the assigned First Resort username and password.
  3. Close your MMC.
