Importing an existing site without upgrading BlueZone
One of the most powerful features of the Web-to-Host Wizard in version 5.1 and higher, is its ability to import existing launch pages made by earlier BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizards.
This procedure assumes that the existing Web-to-Host sites that you want to import are located on a Microsoft platform and the Web-to-Host Wizard version 5.1 or higher is being installed on the same server.
1. Install the BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizard 5.1 or higher. When the installation is complete, a shortcut to launch the Web-to-Host Wizard will be placed on the desktop.
2. Using the desktop shortcut, launch the newly installed Web-to-Host Wizard.
The Sites page will be displayed. The Sites list will be empty.
3. On the Sites page, click Import.
A standard Windows file dialog opens.
4. Browse to your existing BlueZone Web-to-Host installation. If you are upgrading a pre-4.0 version of Web-to-Host, the default name of this folder is usually bzw2h and is usually located in \inetpub\wwwroot\ on the web server.
5. Once you have selected the desired site folder, click Open.
You will be asked to confirm the import.
6. Click OK.
Once the site is finished importing, the Web-to-Host Wizard will automatically advance to the Launch Folders page. The importation process is complete and the site is now ready to be administered with the Web-to-Host Wizard.
7. On the Launch Folders page, all the launch pages from the imported site appear as launch folders.
The Web-to-Host Wizard will also import two folders called default and desktop from your previous installation. These launch folders are no longer needed and can be deleted.
8. Select a launch folder and click Next.
All of the sessions for the selected launch folder will be displayed.
9. On the Sessions page, an Overrides button is located to the right of the Delete button. This button provides backward compatibility with previous versions of the Web-to-Hot Wizard.
There is no need to change any values in the Overrides dialog. You can continue to use the overrides feature just as you did in the previous versions of the Web-to-Host Wizard.
10. Click Next two times to advance to the Test Launch Folders page where you can select and test each launch folder.
11. If you are running the Web-to-Host Wizard on a Microsoft platform with IIS enabled, you can use the IIS web server or you can use the built-in web server to do your testing.
Note
If you attempt to enable the built-in web server and you receive the following message: Unable to start the Web server on the selected port. That port is in use. Please select another port or close the conflicting application.
This occurs because there is a web server already running on port 80. The remedy is to pick another port (like 8080) and try again.
12. To test the launch folder, click Test BlueZone.
13. To test additional launch folders, choose the desired folder form the folder listbox and click Test BlueZone. You can test all of your launch folders from this page without having to go back and select each launch folder from the Launch Folders page.
Note
To import multiple Web-to-Host sites, repeat the import process for each site. If any of your existing Web-to-Host sites have duplicate names, you must rename them with unique names before importing them into the new Web-to-Host Wizard.
