Installing Web Manager

Installation - Windows 2000 Server

Procedure

  1. Insert the BlueZone CD-ROM into the CD drive of the Microsoft web server you wish to install Web Manager.  An AutoRun program will launch and you will be presented with a SEAGULL BlueZone Software “Splash” screen.

  2. Click on the BlueZone Web-to-Host link.

  3. Click on the ASP Web Manager link.  This will start the installation process.

  4. The Web Manager Setup dialog box will appear.  Leave the default vales as they are and click the Install button to start the installation.

  5. Respond as needed to the licensing and directory creation questions.  The Web Manager files will now be copied to your server.

  6. The Copy Seagull Activation File dialog will be displayed.  If you have a Seagull Activation File, browse to it now and click the OK button.  If you do not have an Seagull Activation File at this time, you can manually install it later.  Click the Skip button.

  7. After the Web Manager installation program is complete, you will receive the following message: “The Seagull Web Manager installation completed successfully”.

  8. Click the OK button to continue.

Deny Web Browser Access to the Database

CAUTION! This step is very important.  If you do not perform this step, any end user will be able to download the entire Web Manager database if they happen to know the correct “path”.

  1. Using the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, go to the SWM folder and expand it by clicking on the plus sign.

  2. Find the folder called "access" and select it. This is where Web Manager stores its database.

  3. Right click and select Properties. The Properties dialog for this folder will display.

  4. De-select the Read checkbox and set the Permissions drop  down box None.

  5. Click OK to close the dialog.

The SWM application will have permission to access the data via ODBC, but End Users will not be able to download the database file to their workstations.

Congratulations!  The basic installation portion of the Web Manager is complete.
