Installation and Configuration

Web server

You must have access to at least one of the recognized Web server types if you plan to install any of the following OpenEdge products:

The WebSpeed Messenger, Secure AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA)or Web Services Adapter products to develop and/or deploy Web applications.
OpenEdge Development Server and you plan to use Progress Dynamicsfunctionality.
WebSpeed as a component or subcomponent of another OpenEdge product, and you plan to use this functionality. (If you do not plan to use WebSpeed functionality, choose No to bypass these Web server choices during the installation process.)

Respond to the following points for each Web server you intend to use, referring to the Installation online help topic “Selecting a Web Server Type, as needed:

Identify the type of Web server:

Microsoft Internet Information System (IIS) or ISAPI-compatible.
Sun Web server or NSAPI-compatible.
CGI-compatible.

Note the Web server’s machine location:

On the same machine where you plan to install your OpenEdge products.
On a machine that is different from the machine on which you are installing your OpenEdge products.

For a Microsoft Internet Information System (IIS) or ISAPI-compatible Web server:

Accept the default directories provided that appear in the Web Server Script directory and the separate Web Server Document Root directory fields, respectively. (These default directories are independent of each other.) Or, you can select a different location for either or both directories: ___________________________________. (If you select an alternative Web Server script directory, it must be an existing directory that your Web server references.)
Deselect the Copy static HTML files to Document Root directory checkbox and select the Create virtual directory for static HTML files checkbox. This step enables OpenEdge to create an alias that points to the WebSpeed HTML files in the OpenEdge installation directory.

For either a Sun Web server or NSAPI-compatible Web server or a CGI-compatible Web server:

Define the directory path for the Web Server Scripts directory field: _____________________________ and the Web Server Document Root directory field: _____________________________________________.
Select the Web server’s document root directory for the Copy static HTML to the Document Root directory field so that during the installation, the WebSpeed Workshop HTML files are copied to this
location: ___________________________________.
