Managing the ASP Server

Chili!Soft ASP includes an ASP Server that handles ASP page requests. You manage the ASP Server from the Administration Console Server Management page. Depending on your installation, this page has either two or three tabs. You click these tabs in order to access settings for the ASP Server, Web server, and FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.

The ASP Server tab of the Server Management page displays when you open the Administration Console.

On the ASP Server tab are the following items:

·   Status indicates whether the ASP Server is running or stopped.

·   Uptime indicates the length of time since the ASP Server was started or restarted.

·   Location indicates the directory in which the ASP Server is installed.

·   Stop, Start, and Restart buttons enable you to stop, start, and restart the ASP Server. For more information, see "Stopping and Restarting the ASP Server" in this chapter.

·   The Databases link takes you to database configuration settings. For more information, see "Configuring a Database" in this chapter.

·   The ASP Applications link takes you to settings for adding, removing, and configuring ASP applications. For more information, see "Configuring ASP Applications" in this chapter.

·   The Settings link takes you to general ASP Server settings. For more information, see "Changing ASP Server Settings" in this chapter.

·   The View Logs link takes you to pages where you can view the log files enabled for the ASP Server. For more information, see "Viewing Log Files" in this chapter.

When you click the Web Server tab, the following page displays:

·   Port is the port the Web server is using.

·   Stop, Start, and Restart buttons enable you to stop, start, and restart the Web server. For more information, see "Starting and Stopping the Web Server" in this chapter.

Note

On Cobalt systems, you manage Web server from the Cobalt Administration Console, rather than from the Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console.

If you are running a bundle installation of Chili!Soft ASP, which includes FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions, a Front Page tab also appears on the Server Management page. When you click this tab, the following page displays:

Note

On Cobalt systems, you manage FrontPage Server Extensions from the Cobalt Administration Console, rather than from the Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console.
