amStats v.80b readme.html
amStats is a set of Active Server Page scripts that report current web server information such as: current sessions, sessions
for the day, average sessions, and much more. amStats' unique feature is the ability to transmit this information
to cell phones, pagers, and PDAs that are WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) compatible.
amStats is designed to run on Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) and Personal Web Server (PWS) on Windows 95, 98, 2000, and NT.
Through the use of the global.asa file, amStats keeps track of server statistics and displays it with active
server pages (ASP). To access amStats via hand held device, simply point the device's browser to the proper page (amstatswml.asp)
on your server and view the results. You do not need to load any server DLLs, COM objects, or NT services. Everything
is handled through your global.asa file. amStats does not use session variables (which can be wasteful) and uses very little system resources.
Installation
Step 1: Unzip and copy the amStats files to you web server. There are four files included in this zip file:
- amstats.asp - The HTML file use to view server statistics from a standard web browser
- amstatswml.asp - The WML file (Wireless Markup Language) used to view statistics from a hand held, wireless browser
using the Wireless Access Protocol (WAP).
- changes_to_global.asa - a text file containing the changes you will need to make to your global.asa file in the root
directory of your web server.
- readme.html - the file you are currently reading
.
With the exception of global.asa, which must be placed in the root directory, all of these files should be placed
in the same directory on the server. See the section 'Operational Information' below for additional information.
Step 2: Look for a global.asa file in the root directory of your web server. If one does NOT exist, simply rename
the changes_to_global.asa file to global.asa and it will function properly. If a global.asa file already exists, you
will have to copy the following selections into that file.
NOTE: Please make a backup of your existing global.asa file before you make any changes to it.
Select ALL of the following text and paste it into the application_OnStart section of global.asa.
