GOAL:
How to configure a web server for WebSpeed
FACT(s) (Environment):
Webspeed 2.x
Webspeed 3.x
Windows NT/2000
FIX:
WebSpeed, when installed on Windows, allows for configuration of a web server by specifying the messenger to use, the web server script directory, the web server document root directory, and whether to copy the static HTML files to the document root directory or create a virtual directory for the static HTML files for IIS only.
This information can be used when more than one web server is running on the same server machine (on a different port) or if the web server is installed after WebSpeed is installed.
Upon WebSpeed or Messenger only installation, Progress will do all the steps described in this solution, depending on what is selected during installation.
If the web server was installed afterwards, it is necessary to manually configure the web server for WebSpeed: copy the messenger files to the web server script directory. It is also possible to copy the WebSpeed static HTML files to the web server document directory. However, a virtual directory in the web server referring to the WebSpeed directory that contains the static HTML files can be setup instead. These files are needed by the WebSpeed Workshop.
1. Copy the messenger executable to the web server script directory.
For Example:
copy c:\WebSpeed\bin\cgiip.exe c:\Inetpub\SCRIPTS
copy c:\WebSpeed\bin\wsisa.dll c:\InetPub\scripts
2. Copy the WebSpeed static files to the web server document directory or create an alias to the WebSpeed directory using the Web Server Administration tool (Internet Service Manager or Personal Web Server Manager). The alias name depends on the WebSpeed version.
For Example:
create alias /webspeed pointing to c:\WS21\webspeed
create alias /webspeed30B pointing to c:\WS30B\webspeed
create alias /webspeed31A pointing to c:\WS31A\webspeed
create alias /webspeed31C pointing to c:\WS31C\webspeed
Verify that this configuration has been done correctly by entering the URL:
http://localhost/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wsbroker1/workshop
This URL assumes that a WebSpeed broker (wsbroker1) is running, and that the wsisa.dll messenger is installed on IIS.
Use the URL format that corresponds to Web Server and messenger.
For Example:
http://server/cgi-bin/cgiip.exe/WService=wsbroker1/workshop
http://server:8080/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=wsbroker1/workshop
The WebSpeed messenger for Netscape web server is used and there is a WebSpeed broker as default web server.
The WebSpeed Workshop page should appear and all the graphics should display correctly. If the image files do not appear, probably, the directory or alias with the static files does not have the right name. Use WebSpeed for WebSpeed 2.1, webspeed30B for WebSpeed 3.0B, webspeed1A for WebSpeed 3.1A, etc.
