ZIP Files
If you receive your White-Box system as a ZIP file, you will need the WinZip program to un-zip the files to a directory on your machine. There will be two directories enclosed in the ZIP file. These are the main program files and the database files.
/modules
/dbase
Your will then need to upload the two directories to your web site through FTP.
The database files inside the dbase folder need to be uploaded to your private database folder, where the databases can be used for read/write by the application, but can not be downloaded or browsed by general website access. Your ISP will be able to advise on your private database folders on your windows hosting package.
The /modules directory and its content needs to be uploade to your normal web site folder where your root directory is.
Once this has been done, you need to edit the file databasepath.asl in the modules directory and set the livedbpath variable to the physical directory path of your database files on the server.
livedbpath="yourwebserver/databasefiles"
Personal Web Server
If you are running Personal web server or Internet Services Manager (IIS) on your personal machine and wish to develop your web site locally, the folders will need to be copied to your personal web server directory
c:/inetpub/wwwroot
The databasepath.asl file will then need to be edited and the localdbpath set to the directory of the dbase folder. Another variable localserver needs to be set to the name of your local server. The system will then run from
http://yourwebserver/modules
http://yourwebserver/modules/shop
