PowerHouse Web Setup????

[Edis, Bob]

Art

I am referring to the IIS administrator.  To get there on the NT web server
box:

1. Start->Programs->Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack->Microsoft Internet
Information Server->Internet service Manager
2. Expand your web site folder; you should see a folder called 'cgi-bin'.
This is a virtual directory.
3. Select this folder, right click and select properties.  
4. Under 'Local Path:' you should see something like
'C:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin'.  C:\InetPub\wwwroot is where we put a HTML
menu pages that refer to the PH Web screens.  E.g. dw_menu.htm is a simple
HTML page containing references like <a
href="/cgi-bin/phcgi.exe?PH_QKC=dw_lu_part_list&PH_HTML=dw_lu_part_list.htm&
PH_APP=DataWare_App">.  You *could* build this menu page using Qdesign but
it must be copied to the wwwroot directory.  We reference the menu in the
web browser as //cogdev-02/dw_menu.htm.  The '//cogdev-02' is the name of
the IIS web server machine.

Regards,
Blue

Hi Blue :)
   Ok... You mentioned something I haven't checked (mainly 'cause I really
don't understand it) ....  ie "Have the virtual directories been
declared/exist in the IIS Console?"

   Um... which directories are your referring to? I have set up the
administrator and the PH web server stuff on our 928 as per all the books
and guidelines I have.... btw.... the books and docs I got with the demo kit
are very good!
