BlueZone Web-to-Host

How to Copy Your Published Web Pages to Your Web Server

Overview

This procedure assumes that you are familiar with the particular web server that you want to use as your BlueZone Web-to-Host web server.

Procedure

Once you have created a Launch Page and published it, you now have to copy the results of the publishing process to your web server.

When you publish a Launch Page, several things happen.  A folder is created with the name you chose when you created the Launch Page, in the location you specified during the installation.  Inside that folder are several files.  All the files in the folder are needed for BlueZone Web-to-Host to work properly.

For example, if you created a Launch Page called test_page, and if you installed the Web-to-Host files in the suggested location, it will look like this:

C:\Publish\test_page\

 

  1. Copy the folder "test_page" and its entire contents from your workstation to the appropriate location on your web server keeping the file structure intact.

  2. Copy all files that end in .htm as ASCII, copy all others as binary.

  3. Set file permissions to "read" ("write" is not necessary) and "execute scripts" (running executables is not necessary) and directory browsing is not necessary.

NOTE  For UNIX and Linux servers, assuming that you are using a directory called "bluezone", then issuing the command "chmod 755 bluezone" should set the proper file permissions for the BlueZone directory.  Also, make sure that all the files located below the BlueZone directory inherit these same file permissions.

Accessing Launch Pages On Your Server

Most web servers work pretty much the same way.  If you create a folder in the "root" of your web server, called "bluezone", and copy your Launch Page folders as sub-folders under bluezone, you should be able to access your Launch Pages by browsing to the following URL:

http://myWebServerName/bluezone/test_page/default.htm

 

 or

 

http://63.69.172.27/bluezone/test_page/default.htm

 

NOTE  If you prefer, in the Web-to-Host Wizard, you have the option of using index.htm as the "welcome page" instead of default.htm.

If you are using the correct "welcome page" name for your web server, then you don't have to specify the "welcome page" name in the URL as shown here:

http://63.69.172.27/bluezone/test_page/
