Expand/Collapse item  Overview

For your Web pages to be displayed correctly on the Internet, you must publish your images, JavaScripts, style sheets, and MASISAPI.ini file to the Internet Information Server (IIS).

Expand/Collapse item  Before You Begin

  • Publishing your Web files to the IIS requires file transfer protocol (FTP) software, which enables you to transfer files between your computer and a remote Internet host. You can use any FTP software.

  • If you are using the Sage eBusiness Manager Web hosting service, you cannot publish .ASP, .ASPX and other custom CGI programs to your Web-site folder. Also, only image files with .JPG, .GIF, .CSS and .JS file extensions can be transferred to the server.

 

To publish files to the Internet

  1.  Using your FTP software, log onto the IIS. If you are using the Sage eBusiness Manager Web hosting service, use the following FTP URL to log on: ftp://ebmhost1.ebm.bestsoftwarehost.com

  2. Use FTP to copy your image files to the \root\Images folder (where root is the root folder of the IIS Web site). Images used on your Web pages are stored in the MAS90\Images\xxx folder (where xxx is your company code).

  3. Use FTP to copy your JavaScripts and style sheets to \root (where root is the root folder of the IIS Web site). JavaScripts are stored in the IT\Jscripts folder, and style sheets are stored in the IT\Styles folder.

  4. Locate the MASISAPI.xxx file (where xxx is your company code) in the MAS90\IT folder. Rename MASISAPI.xxx to MASISAPI.ini.

Note  If you are hosting multiple SSL Web sites from one Web server, you must distinguish each SSL Web site with a different TCP port and modify the MASISAPI.ini file. For more information, refer to your eBusiness Manager Installation Guide.

  1. Use FTP to copy the MASISAPI.ini file to \root (where root is the root folder of the IIS Web site).

Your images, JavaScripts, style sheets, and MASISAPI.ini file are published to the IIS.
