Host Software Installation for Microsoft ASP
Version 3


Software requirements

  • Microsoft IIS Web Server with ASP support enabled

  • Jargon Writer, version 3 and higher

  • Jargon Reader, version 3 and higher

Installation

  • You are strongly encouraged to create a site-specific installation reference notebook in which you can note the directory locations, option choices and other information from each step of the installation process. Doing this can be very useful in subsequent steps and for future reference.

  • Create a folder under your IIS document root folder for asp scripts (such as C:/inetpub/wwwroot/asp) and give it read/execute permissions for all users. You should normally NOT grant write permissions to all users, only administrators.

  • Copy and unzip the "util33_asp.zip" file from the asp folder in your Jargon Writer working directory (on the client) to your host into this asp scripts folder.

  • Verify that ASP scripts are working by running the Status.asp test script from status.xml in ReaderPDA or statuswin.xml in ReaderWIN. These apps are located in the xml/Progress/util folder. Or, enter the URL to the script in a web browser, such as:
          http://www.abc.com/asp/Status.asp
