The dB2K Web Classes include the sample Web application:

---- Conference Signup ------

[What the Sample does]

It has three simple functionalities:

1. Sign up for a Conference Online
2. Browse Attendees who have signed up.
3. List Attendees who have signed up.

[What files does it use?]

Webclass.cc 
   This is the file that contains the main dBASE
   Web class: CGISession()

Signup.cc  
   This is the custom subclass of CGISession that
   adds customized "Sorry..." and "Error..." pages.	

Signup.prg/Signup.exe
   This is the applet for live sign-up over the Web.

SignupBrowse.prg/SignupBrowse.exe
   This is the applet that browses through Attendees

SignupReport.prg/SignupReport.rep/SignupReport.exe
   This is the applet that runs a dBASE report that
   lists all Conference Attendees.


All applets are included as fully-working executables and
also as open-source dBASE source code (see \Web\Samples\Source).

(Note. You'll need a running Web Server to test,view or 
develop these applications. dB2K includes a
Win 32 version of Apache,the open-source Web server.
We highly recommend that you install it on your
local development machine using Apache's default
installation. All dB2K samples and Wizards 
default to Apache's "Typical" setup.)

[Installing The Sample Applets]

Use the following steps to install and run
the dB2K Web Class Samples

1) Install a Web Server. These instructions assume
you've installed Apache on the same machine on which 
dB2K was installed.

To install the sample applets on another computer, 
a different  Web server or to folders other than the 
Apache default, adjust the paths listed in the 
following steps to accomodate your installation.

2) Copy the files. Like all Web applications, there are
three parts: 

	the HTML starting page
	the CGI applets
 	the data.

Each goes into its own folders as determined by the
configuration of your Web server.

To install the Sample into a local installation of 
Apache, copy the contents of the following two
folders:

	\dB2K 01\Web\Samples\cgi-bin
		to:
	\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin

		and

	\dB2K 01\Web\Samples\htdocs
		to:
	\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs

3) Set the BDE Alias. If you need to copy the data to 
any folder other than the default installation folder 
(the Web\Samples\Data), adjust the "dBASESignup" alias
of the BDE Administrator.to point to your selected
data folder. If, for any reason, you're missing
the "dBASESignup" alias, create it using the BDE 
Administrator and point it to \Web\Samples\Data

4) Start Apache (or whatever Web Server you've 
installed).

5) Start your Browser and Run the Sample Application.

If you're running your Web server on the same 
computer from which you're running your browser,
type:

	http://Localhost/signup.htm

If you're running your Web Server on a Web Site that
has an Internet Domain, type:

	http://mydomain.com/signup.htm

If you're running your Web Server on another 
computer on your network, you can either use the
computer name or IP address to start the Sample
application:

	http://20.10.30.3/signup.htm

(Of course, substitute your server's IP address
for the one used above).


[How to modify and rebuild the Sample?]

We encourage you to play with the source code supplied
with the Sample application. It is highly documented
internally. Make sure to read through the Web Class
documentation as well as the internal documentation for
the Sample.

There are two "build" programs included with the Sample:

	BuildAllToSamples.prg and
	BuildAllToApache.prg

BuildAllToSamples.prg compiles and builds applets in the
sample folders as they were installed from the Visual
dB2K CD.

BuildAllToApache.prg is strictly for those who have installed
Apache Web Server using its default install folders. If you
run this program, your Sample applets will be deployed
directly to the appropriate Apache Web Server folders.

This makes it very easy to fix and run. In fact, if you leave
dB2K open and leave your Browser open, you can debug and
perfect Web applets with amazing speed  by fixing in
dBASE, running "BuildAllToApache", pressing the Browser's back 
button and submitting your app over and over again. 

Enjoy the Web Class Sample Application. Note its excellent  
performance (Best on Windows NT and even better on any
platform with dB2KFast.exe running!)
