Importing sites without upgrading BlueZone

One of the most powerful features of the Web-to-Host Wizard in Version 5.1 and later 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 later is being installed on the same server.
  1. Install the BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizard Version 6.2.
  2. Start the Web-to-Host Wizard.
  3. In the Sites window, click Import.
  4. Browse to your old BlueZone Web-to-Host installation. If you were using Version 4.0 or earlier, the default name of this folder is usually bzw2h and is located in \inetpub\wwwroot\ on the web server.
  5. Select a site folder and click Open.
  6. Click OK to confirm the import.
    After the site is finished importing, the Web-to-Host Wizard opens the Launch Folders window. 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 window, all of the launch pages from the imported site display as launch folders.
    The Web-to-Host Wizard also imports two folders from your previous installation: default and desktop. 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 are displayed.
  9. On the Sessions window, 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 window. 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 window 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.

    There is a web server already running on port 80. Use a different port, for example 8080, and try again.

  12. To test the launch folder, click Test BlueZone.
  13. To test additional launch folders, select a folder from the Launch Folder menu 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 window.
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.
