Installing Posting Acceptor

During Posting Acceptor installation, the ISAPI, mapping modules, sample forms, and PostInfo file are deposited by default into the correct virtual directories. You are required to insert the meta-tag into your default home page. As you install Posting Acceptor, you may accept the default directory locations for component installation or specify other directory locations.

To install Posting Acceptor

  1. From the root directory, double-click the PostAcc folder. Double-click Posting Acceptor.exe and accept the license agreement.
  2. In the dialog box, enter the physical path to the virtual root of your Web server. You may select the default, or choose another path. Click OK. If you select another directory, you must edit all Active Server Pages (.asp) files and adjust the paths accordingly.
  3. In the dialog box, enter the directory where you want to install Posting Acceptor. This must be a virtual root of your Web server that has execute permissions. You may select the default, or choose another path. Click OK. If you select another directory, you must edit all .asp files and adjust the paths accordingly.
  4. Click OK to finalize Posting Acceptor installation. Reboot if necessary.
  5. Run your editor on your default home page. Insert the meta-tag found in the postinfo.eg file into your default home page. Inside the meta-tag, modify the path to your PostInfo file to suit your needs.

Note
It is not required that you add meta-tag information to any virtual root directory other than the default home page of your Web server. Setup automatically adds that line for you. You are required to edit the line to point to your PostInfo file if you do not use the Posting Acceptor default. (/scripts/default.asp)
