Installing the CloudWriter Server With Windows 2000
Server
These are the components of the e++ server:
- sspiis.dll - the IIS extension
- ssp.dll - the interpreter and web-specific runtime for
e++
- rc21server.dll - the database runtime
- l3020139.dll - the e++ interpreter runtime (binary)
- l3020139.llb - the e++ interpreter runtime (threaded
code)
- logical.txt - RC21 server parameters and logical name
table
This is the complete set of files you will need to run e++
using e++ source. There is no separate compiler. All e++ files may
be interpreted at runtime. Certain other files may be downloaded
separately from the website - documentation files, sample applications, etc.
All the files are supplied in a .zip file, epp.zip that
you download from this website. To install, simply execute the following:
- Unzip the files into a directory of your choosing (say,
c:\epp). This directory must have "execute" privilege for
users.
- Next you must tell Internet Services Manager about the
DLL:
- Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools
| Internet Services Manager
- Select the website where you want to enable e++ script
execution
- Right click; select Properties; Set as below
(with modifications if required for your installation). Note that my
website was located at d:\ssp\mirror. Presumably, yours will be
somewhere else.
- Then, press select the "Home Directory" tab and you will see:
- Fill in the fields as appropriate; note: use High (Isolated)
Application Protection when debugging new scripts
- Then, press the Configuration button and you will see:
- Now, press the Add button to add the mapping so that
IIS will map files that end with .cw will be interpreted by
sspiis.dll. Press the Add button and fill in as follows (use the
appropriate directory name):
- Press OK and you're done with this step.
- Set up the following environment variables using
Settings | Control Panel | System | Advanced Tab | Environment
Variables. Add the following variables:
- EPPPath (set to directory where you installed e++)
- LLIB (set to directory where you installed e++)
You're all done.
