 1.0 Installation


 1.1 Procedure

     When you have downloaded the Web Application Adaptor (WAA) as 
     a ZIP archive, unpack the archive in a temporary directory and start 
     the SETUP program. 
     If you have received WAA on CD-ROM, insert the CD in your CD-ROM 
     drive and start the SETUP program from the WAA1W32 directory.
      
     Note for Xbase++ users: Select "Custom installation" (see 1.2 below)

     The WAA development kit is installed by default on drive C: with 
     the following directory structure: 

     \ALASKA\WAA1W32 
                |---APACHE       Apache HTTP server  
                |      |---OS2     OS/2 version 
                |      |---W32     Windows 9x and Windows NT version 
                |
                |---BOOK         WAA documentation 
                |
                |---GATEWAY      Gateway between the HTTP server and WAA  
                |      |---OS2     OS/2 version  
                |      |---W32     Windows 9x and Windows NT version 
                |      |---ISAPI   Gateway for MS Internet Information Server
                |
                |---SOURCE       Source code for example applications 
                |
                |---SERVER       Web Application Adaptor (WAA) 
                                 (and Xbase++ runtime, when installed)

     When the installation program has finished, the file WAA1SRV.EXE 
     is located in the ..\SERVER directory. This file is the WAA server 
     and it needs a connection to your HTTP server. The connection is 
     provided by a gateway which is available for both OS/2 and Windows 
     platforms. How to install and configure the gateway depends on
     the HTTP server you are using. 

     Please refer to the online documentation for further configuration 
     steps.


 1.2 You have Xbase++ installed

     Select "Custom Installation" and unselect the checkbox for the Xbase++
     runtime libraries. It is not recommended to install the Xbase++ runtime 
     environment twice. 


 1.3 You do not have Xbase++ installed

     The setup program of the Alaska WAA does not change any environment
     variable nor will any component of the system be replaced.
     If you install the Xbase++ runtime files they will reside in the 
     SERVER directory. The package contains only those Xbase++ runtime 
     files needed by the WAA.


 1.4 What's new in this version ?

     Please refer to the chapter "Read me first" in the WAA online help
     for a full explanation of changes in this version.
