Nestor G. Torres | Re: CXP Pages with IIS on Tue, 23 Aug 2016 10:11:28 +0200 Hi César, 1) Make sure you are working with Windows 7 or higher. 2) Ensure that you have turned on the following Windows features as per Alaska's instructions below. Open the Control Panel and select the item Programs. Under Programs and Features select Turn Windows features on or off. Then accomplish following steps. Please follow strictly the order below: A) Ensure that the item Internet Information Service is selected. If this is not the case select the item Internet Information Service. B) Also make sure that support for CGI executables is enabled which also enables the FastCGIModule. The feature CGI can be found in the feature tree on the following location: => Internet Information Services => World Wide Web Services => Application Development Features => CGI 3) Then I would uninstall CXP , restart computer then reinstall cxp ; this must be the last step. I hope this helps.

César Calvo | Re: CXP Pages with IIS on Tue, 23 Aug 2016 18:40:21 +0200 Many thanks dear Nestor. Now yes with IIS when I have unistalled CXP and again installed it. Is neccesary to learn javascript for view contents of databases or with the features of CXP together with source code would be enought? Regards. César. "Nestor G.

Nestor G. Torres | Re: CXP Pages with IIS on Tue, 23 Aug 2016 19:12:15 +0200 Hi César, Glad to see that you got your cxp pages working ... Back in 2012 when cxp first came out their was little or no documentation for cxp; and I believe till today it is the same. But I think that Alaska will be showing off their newest release at the up and coming conference and that may contain a lot more documentation and information on how to utilize cxp, to its potential. Also their will probably be lots of speakers talking and demonstrating the power of cxp. I have taken a very different approach in how to use cxp from what Alaska has shown in their examples...I use it mainly for data access and data manipulation. I also use it to build dynamic htlm which I pass to calling javascript/jQuery modules that then inject the resulting html, constructed by my CXP programs, into the DOM. So in my case I have made lots of use of Jquery/jquery-ui/javascript and css plus a host of other javascript libraries. And CXP has been the manipulator of data and creator of dynamic html. You can view the results of my efforts by visiting www.jumboentertain.com and www.starlightdemo.com there are now other sites that are also using my starlite web app : www.toplineonline.co.za and www.redboxpinetown.co.za And the back-end for starlite is RAPS found at www.softwareclinic.co.za Kind regards Nestor I am happy I could be of some help.

César Calvo | Re: CXP Pages with IIS on Tue, 23 Aug 2016 23:54:10 +0200 Nestor, then if I make an aplication with CXP: What are the files that I have to install in the computer of my customer? All files in C:\inetpub\wwwroot. I mean if inside of this the files must be copy the files that are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Alaska Software\cxp20\bin Could you explain me the steps? The cxp files must be converted to a dll files? Sorry because I am new with this? Thanks. César. "Nestor G.

Nestor G. Torres | Re: CXP Pages with IIS on Wed, 24 Aug 2016 06:39:46 +0200 Cesar, There are many things that need to be thought-out for a cxp application before it can be seen by the outside world. Luckily I do not think its to hard. 1) you must install just the alaska cxp component as you have done on your computer onto your customers computer. 2) you must move all your developed cxp code into the cxp root folder (this is the way I have been doing it since there has been no clear indication of how to do it otherwise...maybe there is a better way). Note that CXP modules will automatically be recompiled when they are first accessed so you do not need to move cxp dll files from your computer. Do not forget that any javascript that you have developed and Libraries used must also be moved to your customers folders or pointed to where they reside on the World Wide Web. 3) you must also setup virtual directories within IIS that point to your Alaska xBase dbf files. CXP uses these virtual directories to access your data. 4) Then you must configure the router to point to your listening IIS computer. And setup the routers firewall to allow access from the outside world. And their is also the setting up of your domain; example www.examplecustomer.com must be associated to the IP address of the customers computer and of course registered with a domain service provider. There are a few things to learn but in the end it is worth it. unfortunately I can not teach via email, but I hope that the few hints I am providing will help you find your path. If you attend the conference you may find a better way of setting up a customers computer. At the moment this is working for me.

I am agree with you, the documentation should be improved and completed (in fact I have said this to Alaska Team). I hope in the next conference the speakers provide all possible knowledge for this technologie because it can be very interesting to develop applications. Thnaks. César. "Nestor G.
