/****************************************************************** INSTALLING THE PERSONAL SKY SERVER WEBSITE ******************************************************************/ System Requirements: Windows 2000 or Windows XP Internet Information Services About 122 MB hard disk space ___________________________________________________________________ STEP 1: UNZIP THE DOWNLOADED FILES INTO THIS DIRECTORY: C:\SkyServerV3 ___________________________________________________________________ STEP 2: SETUP DATABASE. If you have not already set up the database, do so now. Note that it is important to make sure the password for the database login "test" user must match the password specified in the website files connection.js and connection.vbs. Changing the password from the default is recommended. STEP 2.1 Changing the password. In SQL Server, the password may be changed in Query Analyzer by running the following script: sp_password 'xxxxxxxx', 'newpassword', 'test' Then use a text editor such as Notepad to alter these files: C:\SkyserverV3\SkyServerWebSiteV3\connection.js C:\SkyserverV3\SkyServerWebSiteV3\connection.vbs The password to be changed is easy to find: simply change 'xxxxxxxx' to the password you have selected -- 'newpassword' in this example. Save and close the files. NOTE: If you change the password after creating the website, you will need to refresh the website files by right clicking on them in IIS, and selecting 'Refresh' from the pop-up menu. Another way to do this is to reboot your computer, because this will automatically refresh the website. ___________________________________________________________________ STEP 3: SETUP WEBSITE. STEP 3.1: Open Administrative Tools in Control Panel. In Windows 2000, open Internet Services Manager (IIS); In Windows XP, open Internet Information Services (IIS). STEP 3.2: Open "tree" menu on left side of IIS screen, to "Default WebSite". The menu will look something like this: - MyComputerName (local computer) - WebSites + Default Web Site + Default SMTP Virtual Server Right click on "Default Web Site" and, from the pop-up menu, select "New", and then "Virtual Directory" STEP 3.3: The Virtual Directory Creation Wizard appears, click next. In the box labeled Alias, type "SkyServerV3". This will become the name of the website, so you can access it on your own machine by entering the URL http://localhost/SkyServerV3. Click Next. In the box labeled Directory, type the name of the directory into which you unzipped the website materials. This should be C:\SkyserverV3\SkyServerWebSiteV3. You can also use the browse button to locate the directory rather than typing it in. Click Next. Click Next to confirm default security. Click Finish. ___________________________________________________________________ STEP 4: USE THE WEBSITE Open your internet browser and enter the URL http://localhost/SkyServerV3. Depending on how this is set up, you might need to enter http:///SkyServerV3 (for example, http://123.456.0.1/SkyServerV3) or http://SkyServerV3 instead. To test database connectivity, Click on the menu item "EXPLORER" Then click on 'Click Here to Explore' Then click on the skymap to view another image from the database.
