Installation using ZIP file

If you use an external hosting service (not the Mirage Hosting Service) for the Web Activation Service the installation is a little bit different.

If your server is not hosted in-house, you normally can not execute a MSI file. Use the lpweb.zip file for manual distribution. The MSI file does the entire necessary configuration for the IIS-Server which has to be done manually when using the ZIP file.

Perform the following steps to use a hosting service:

•	Unzip the lpweb.zip file to a local folder

•	Copy the complete folder structure of your local Web directory to your provider

•	Set up the database as described

Your provider has to manually add the application to the IIS-server as follows

To create an application in IIS you have to perform the following steps (for example lpweb, installed in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\lpweb):

For Windows 2000 and XP Pro:

•	Start "Internet Information Services" (Start - Settings - Control Panel - Administrative Tools)

•	Navigate to the MyApp virtual directory and select it - Right click it and select "Properties" - Press the "Create" button and accept the default name - Press OK

For NT4 Server:

•	Start "Internet Service Manager" (Programs - Administrative Tools)

•	Navigate to the MyApp virtual directory - Right click it, and select "Properties" - Press the "Create" button and enter a name, for example "MyApp" - Press OK

If you use a hosting company and don't know how to do this you can contact their helpdesk about it. If they tell you they can't because it would influence other sites: not true, because that obviously does not depend on the presence of an application. Besides, each site can be configured to run in its own isolated memory space in IIS.

The next step is that your provider has to set the proper rights for the folder LPWAS.

The ASP application works with an IIS-process 'user'. This user must have full read and write. The user name is IWAM_Machine Name. These rights should be given to the complete lpweb folder with all subfolders. The same is for the user IUSR_Machine name and user ASP.NET access.

•	Choose the lpweb folder

•	Right-click and choose Properties

•	On the "Directory Security" tab you can edit the access rights

•	Set all rights to full access

•	Click Advanced

•	Select Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects
