WEBMAILER PRO DB 1.01 README FILE
======================================================================
I M P O R T A N T: There are various issues involved with installation 
and various web servers that are discussed in this file.


Installing on Netscape Commerce/Enterprise Server
======================================================================
For Netscape servers, you will need to ensure that CGI has been 
activated as a type on the server, or you will need to add the 
WMPRO directory to the list of CGI-BIN directories.  This is done
through the web server administration program.

If you do not activate CGI as a type, then you must add the WMPRO
directory to the CGI-BIN directories list because otherwise WebMailer
Pro will not be recognized as a CGI by Netscape and will not run.

Activating CGI as a type means that any .EXE file in any accessible 
directory is assumed to be a CGI. If you do this, then you will not 
need to add the WMPRO directory to the CGI-BIN directories list.

However, we recommend that you add the WMPRO directory to the CGI-BIN
directories list, in any case, and name the URL prefix /WMPro.  This
will make it easier to use the included samples, as they refer to this
directory.  Otherwise, you will need to modify the samples to the correct
URL for WMPRODB.EXE.


Installing on Microsoft IIS Web Server / Microsoft Personal Web Server
======================================================================
You will need to create a virtual directory that points to the 
WMPRO directory.  If you are using IIS, this is done from the Internet
Service Manager Manager, in the Directories tab of the Web Service
Properties.  If you are using PWS, run the Internet Services
Administrator, and select the Directories Tab under the WWW Services
page.

We recommend that you call this virtual directory /WMPro for 
compatibility with the included sample forms.  Be sure to grant this 
virtual directory Execute permissions from within the web server
administration program.

Note that if even your WMPRO directory is located in your /Scripts
directory, you will still need to create a virtual directory
specifically for the WMPRO directory.  This is due to behavior by
IIS and PWS that reports to WebMailer Pro that the current directory
is the /Scripts directory, instead of  /Scripts/WMPro.

Because WebMailer Pro looks for the configuration file in the current 
directory, the current directory reported must be the WMPRO directory.
Therefore it is always necessary, in any case, to create a virtual
directory specifically for the WMPRO directory.


Installing on Other Server Software
======================================================================
In general, make sure that WebMailer Pro is installed in a directory 
from which the web server allows executables to be run.  How this is 
accomplished will vary on your web server.


Installing on a Remote Web Server
======================================================================
If you use the services of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for your 
web site, then you will need to consult with your ISP for instructions 
on how they accommodate their users’ CGI programs.  How you upload the 
WebMailer Pro files will also depend on the ISP; usually you will need 
to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload HTML files and CGI 
programs.

You will need to upload WMPRODB.EXE and WEBMLR.INI (these files that
are created in the WMPRO directory during local installation) to the
location your ISP provides for your CGI programs.  Depending on your
ISP, this may be a central CGI-BIN or Scripts directory where all
users’ CGI programs are stored, or it may be a local CGI-BIN or
Scripts directory in the directory designated as the home directory
for your site.

In any case, you will also need to replicate the entire GEOCEL 
directory structure and files that were created at installation 
underneath the WMPRO directory.  This is necessary WebMailer Pro 
expects template files to be found in GEOCEL\TEMPLATES beneath the 
directory where WMPRODB.EXE is located.
