Web Connection User's Guide
To install the ISAPI files, follow these steps:
- Copy the following shared library files to the directory your Web server
uses for CGI programs, typically cgi-bin. Make sure your
cgi-bin directory is added to your computer's PATH statement
at run time. When adding the directory to your PATH statement, be sure
that the exact directory structure is in the PATH variable. Do not use
a . to specify the current path.
- abtwsam.dll (ISAPI adapter)
- abtwsc.dll (Common module)
- abtwstt.dll (TCP/IP transport module)
Enable the directory for reading and executing.
- Edit your operating system configuration file and include the
ABTWSI_BASENAME environment variable. This environment variable
specifies where WSI looks for configuration and error message files.
Include the parameter abtwsi at the end of your directory
structure. The abtwsi parameter designates the
abtwsi.cnf and abtwsi.htm files.
For Intel platforms, use a set statement. For example:
set ABTWSI_BASENAME=d:\webserver\cgi-bin\abtwsi
Note: | On Windows NT, in the System Properties window, select the Environment
tab. Add a new user variable. The variable name is
ABTWSI_BASENAME, and the value is the directory where your WSI
configuration files are located. After you update the system variables,
you must shut down your computer and start it again.

- Copy the following files to the directory specified by ABTWSI_BASENAME
- abtwsi.cnf (configuration file)
- abtwsi.htm (error format file)
- Update your Web server configuration.
- Start your Web server
- Open a web browser and point it to your server location (the hostname of
the server)
- On the Microsoft Internet Service Manager, open the Web Server
Properties. Select the Directories tab. On the
Directories page, do the following:
- For Directory, specify your Web server path (e.g.
d:\webserver\cgi-bin).
- Specify an alias in the Virtual Directory Alias field.
- Select the Read and Execute check boxes.
- Enable directories browsing.
- Apply the changes and restart the Web server.
- Shut down and restart your computer. If you do not shut down your
computer, your operating system may not be able to find necessary
files.
After you install the files, you must customize the WSI configuration file
for your system. See Customizing the WSI configuration file for more information. After customizing the WSI
configuration file, proceed to Testing your installation to setup, test and run the Web Connection interface.
