How to Administrate ASPFusion

ASPFusion installer will create following virtual directories on the machine.

  1. ASPFusionAdmin

  2. ASPFusionExamples

  3. ASPFusionDocs

So please check whether these virtual directories are created successfully. If there is some problem in it then please create it manually.

ASPFusionAdmin Top

The administrator can administrate ASPFusion from here through URL http://machine_name/aspfusionadmin. After login to ASPFusion administration, it will take you to administrations first page (dsp_welcome.asp).

ASPFusion also provides a great feature of Automation. There is no need for administrator to login into ASPFusion administration to create ASPFusion Security Box for newly created website.

dsp_welcome.asp

Here administrator can

  1. Enable and Disable ASPFusion Security Box, so that all currently installed components become global for that machine and can be used without any restriction.

  2. View currently installed components.

  3. View, which components are restricted and which components are free to use, and can change this components restriction by clicking checkboxes for each component.

  4. View, individual settings for each component, if available e.g. AdvSMTP require some additional settings and these settings can be edit from here if administrator needs to change them.

  5. View any update information of currently installed components. If there is some new version available for existing installed components then administrator will be informed from here.

  6. View, if there is any new component is released by http://www.aspfusion.net, so that he can get that component on his requirements.

How Automation Works? Top

Consider if some software like http://www.hostingcontroller.com is used for hosting administration then this automation feature of ASPFusion can be added to this hostingcontroller, so that when ever a new website is created through this hostingcontroller, its ASPFusion Security Box is automatically created and components and their methods are assigned to this ASPFusion Security Box as it is set by administrator in default settings of ASPFusionAdmin. Now administrator must not worry about the creation of ASPFusion Security Box for newly created website. For automation ASPFusion provides an asp page named act_build_automate.asp, when ever a new website is created just call this page with specified parameters, this page will create ASPFusion Security Box for that website and will assign it components and their methods as administrator set in default settings in ASPFusionAdmin. If a new website with name www.newsite.com is created with www root path C:\root\www.newsite.com then call to act_build_automate.asp page will be like this.

http://machine_name/aspfusionadmin/act_build_automate.asp?websitename=www.newsite.com&path=C:\root\www.newsite.com&return=redirectURL

This will create ASPFusion Security Box with name www.newsite.com and with path C:\root\www.newsite.com, and will redirect to returnURL given in its parameter. Before calling this page be sure that all these three required parameter exist in URL, otherwise it will not create ASPFusion Security Box and will set an error in session with name Error, and will return to http://machine_name/aspfusionadmin/index.asp. Session management can also be performed in this automation page (act_build_automate.asp) according to the administrator requirements, as initially this page is using session management of ASPFusionAdmin and call to this page will not perform any action if administrator is not login into ASPFusionAdmin.

ASPFusionExamples Top

The examples for every component currently installed can be test from here through URL http://machine_name/aspfusionexamples.

ASPFusionDocs Top

The documentation for usage of every component released by http://www.aspfusion.net, whether it is installed on the machine or not can be viewed from here.
