The following installation instructions are also included with the installation package as “install.txt.”
Step 1: Create a web application in IIS. If your web account is already setup you can skip this step or create a subdirectory if you do not want the software installed into your root directory.
Step 2: Copy/Upload the ASP files, images, and all ASP related subdirectories to your web server leaving the directory structure as it is provided.
Note: You do not have to keep the files in the "ASP" subdirectory.
Step 3: Create a new SQL Server database and execute the Auction70.sql script
Make appropriate connection changes in “setup.asp” as follows:
sqlserver Enter your SQL Server IP or Server Address sqlcatalog Enter database/catalog name sqluser Enter your SQL Server username sqlpass Enter your SQL Server password
Step 4: Copy/upload all the DLLs onto your server. It is recommended that you do not upload them to an area accessible from the web. Instead upload them to your FTP root and then copy them to a directory such as "C:\COM". The drive or directory name does not matter.
Step 5: Register all DLLs. This step must be performed directly on the server. If you do not have direct access to the server then you will need to send this request to your web hosting administrator.
For additional help with registering DLLs we have provided the file ocxdllreg.reg. Double click ocxdllreg.reg and confirm "Yes" in the dialog that comes up. Now simply double click each DLL file and click OK.
The permissions must also be properly set: Make sure that the IUSR_[SERVERNAME] user has Read & Execute permissions set for each DLL.
Step 6: Set permissions on the "uploaded" subdirectory: The IUSR_[SERVERNAME] user must be given full control permissions for the uploaded directory.
Step 7: In order to be able to edit various CMS content from the admin control panel the IUSR_[SERVERNAME] user must be given full control permissions for the "content" directory. If translation will be enabled the IUSR_[SERVERNAME] user must be given full control permissions for the "language" directory Step 8: Go to your auction website with your web browser. If index.asp is not set to be a default document you may need to enter index.asp manually after your domain name. You will need to activate the auction software with the license key given to you to proceed any further. Step 9: For the remaining configuration options you will need to login to the admin control panel.
http://[Insert your website address here]/webmaster.asp User: admin Password: admin321
Step 10: If you are not already there, go to the Site Preferences -> Setup section. Normal URL For this setting you will need to enter the full URL just like you would enter it from your web browser to get to your website. If you are installing the website in your web root you will not need to add a subdirectory at the end (for example it would just be http://www.xyz.com).
SSL URL If you have a secure URL pointing to the same files on the server you will enter the secure website address here. Otherwise just fill it in with the same value as what you entered above.
SSL Secured Login This preference determines if the user is redirected to a secure page anywhere they are asked for their username and password. Physical Application Path You will need to enter the full absolute path to your website files. If you do not have the absolute path then clicking on the detect button should fill the correct path in for you. Email Component You will need to contact your web host provider to find out what email component(s) are installed on the server. Usually CDOSYS is standard but you can also try CDONTS if no emails are being sent out.
The remaining preferences on the Setup page are all optional depending on your needs.
Note: It is recommended you change your password as soon as the installation is complete.
