Configuration
Now that you have the program and the WebDB datafolder installed in the web servers directory double click the "directory.acgi" program to start it up.
- Server Info Setup:
Select Preferences... from the Edit menu.
- Type Of Server
You need to tell TOTW what kind of web server you are using. If you are using one of the standard mac webservers supported it will multi-thread all it's functions for improved performance. If you are using PWS or another unsupported web server select Personal Web Sharing, all other features will be the same, but multi-threading will not be enabled.
- Server Address
This is the address of your server. If you are lucky enough to have a domain name like in the example, you can enter it here. If you are installing on a regular office machine you will probably just have an IP address. Check with your IT folks for finding out what this should be for your box. If you're setup with DHCP, this means that your IP may change every so often, this is not suitable for a web server as people wont be able to get to it. You should get a static IP from your IT people, or use a dynamic DNS client like mine for a service like www.dyndns.org
- Link to Application
Since the App needs to be able to link to itself, you need to tell it what it is called and where on the web server it is located. This is the path to the application. This is what allows you to totally customize your installation, you can rename the application anything you like (as long as it ends with .acgi) and put it in any folder you like, as long as you enter it here.
