Two installations
eQuate Web requires two installations on the web server users will browse to: AppDep (the Application Deployment System) and eQuateWeb itself. They can be installed in either order; the recommended sequence is AppDep first, then eQuateWeb.
Install AppDep
- Run AppDep.exe on the web server.
- Accept the default location (web root + AppDep) unless you have a strong reason to change it — alternate locations require extra path edits later.
Install eQuateWeb
- Run eQuateWeb.exe on the web server. The installer creates eQuateWebClient with eQuateData and CGIEXE subdirectories and copies the runtime files.
- If you installed outside the default web root, edit AppDep's Configuration.xml so the <RelativeURL> tag points at the actual eQuateWebClient path.
- On an admin workstation that has the eQuate Developer's Edition, run WebLaunchConnections.exe to generate the launch parameters and paste them into Parameters.htm in eQuateWebClient.
- Copy the user-developed eQuate application data files into eQuateData on the server.
IIS permissions for the CGI
- Mark eQuateWebCGI.exe (in eQuateWebClient\CGIEXE) with Read/Execute permissions.
- Add it to the IIS Web Service Extensions list with status Allowed.
Launching
Users browse to AppDep's launch.asp on the web server. The default launch.asp handles every web-launchable KMSYS product; to target eQuate Web specifically, append the application name as a query string.
