| Adding Web Site Folders |
For proper operation, sites using the BIZyCart Ecommerce Server require additional folders. A set of starter and management interface files are available in the BIZyCart-AddSite.zip for the following folders:
- DataBases (For the secure data files)
- Orders (For the Customer, Catalog, and Order data bases)
- Pending (For storing uncompleted orders)
- Tokens (For cookie and account number tracking)
- SitePages, httpdocs, or wwwroot (Web Access Folder)
- Buttons (Link images for use by BIZyCart)
- Images (Site specific pictures and images)
- Logs (BIZyCart hit, error, and mail logs)
Unzipping the BIZyCart-AddSite.zip in the root of a web site will install all of the above ready to have their permissions set. |
| Setting Folder Permissions |
Set the following permissions after adding the folders to the web site:
- Primary Web Site Folder
(Add IUSER_central or its equivalant central site for "List Folder Contents" if site does not have its own SSL Cert. IUSER_domain should already be set for this.)
- DataBases
- Orders (Set IUSER_central and IUSER_domain for "Modify")
- Pending (Set IUSER_central and IUSER_domain for "Modify")
- Tokens (Set IUSER_central and IUSER_domain for "Modify")
- SitePages, httpdocs, or wwwroot
(If the site is using BIZyCart's Static Page generator, set the IUSER_domain for "Write")
- Buttons (Set IUSER_central and IUSER_domain for "Write")
- Images (Set IUSER_domain for "Write")
- Logs (Set IUSER_central and IUSER_domain for "Write")
Note: Ensure the /Cgi-Bin or any folder allowing CGI script execution has "Write" disabled. |
| Standard Data Bases |
The following data bases are provided for the /Orders folder:
- ACCOUNT.seq (Sequence file for account numbers)
- BIZyCart.cfg (Web site configuration file)
- CUSTOMERS.csv (Customer data base)
- DataBase.csv (Catalog data base)
- DataPolicy.csv (Policy Statements data base)
- ORDERS.csv (Completed Orders data base)
BIZyCart will automatically add a BIZyCart.seq to the /Tokens folder for sequential invoice numbers. |
| Initial Site Configuration |
Edit the BIZyCart-ADMIN.htm page and change all of the CLIENT='s parameters to match the site's Client name. The  CLIENT replacement tag may be used but the Login at the top requires it to be typed in.
http://domain.com/BIZyCart-ADMIN.htm will open that page for logging in.
http://domain.com/BIZyCart.asp?ACTION=Manage&CLIENT=ClientName will do it nicer.
After logging in, click the CONFIG button.
- Update the SERVER INFORMATION panel to match the web site.
- The LOG KEEPING PARAMETERS panel settings should be okay.
- Update the COMPANY INFORMATION panel with the Company Name and the appropriate E-Mail addresses. The site owner should verify these entries.
- The site owner may need assistance and advice for the INVOICE PARAMETERS and other panels on this page.
|
| Final Site Configuration |
|
The site owner, with the assistance of the web designer, should open the LAYOUT and SHIPPING links from the Main Index page. There is a HELP button at the upper right of the pages to open appropriate portions of the BIZyCart Manual. |
| Splash/Flash Intro Page |
|
To use BIZyCart for creating a dynamic home page from records in the Catalog Data Base, a redirect page is required. You can use a Splash.htm page with a meta tag Refresh line or a Splash.asp using an ASP Response.Redirect statement.
The IIS configuration for the site will need to be corrected to reflect the default document page for the site. |
