How to setup e-BARZ Pro for
IIS 6.0? (back to top)
IIS 6.0 has more security than the previous versions. One
of the new security features are Web Service Extensions (see
IIS 6.0 documentation for more information). In order
to run e-BARZ Pro on a server with IIS 6.0 you nee to setup
a Web Extension and set the Internet Guest user(s) security
for the directory e-BARZ Pro is installed at. Follow
the instructions below for setting up e-BARZ Pro on a Windows
2003 server running IIS 6.0.
Setup Web Extensions in IIS 6.0
- In IIS 6.0 select the ‘Web Service Extensions’ folder
- Select the ‘Add new Web service extension…'
link
- Enter a name in the ‘Extension name:’ text
box (example, e-BARZ Pro)
- Select the ‘Set extension status to Allowed’ checkbox
- Select the ‘Add’ button
- Enter the file location and name (i.e. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\e-BARZ Pro.exe)
- Select the 'OK' button on the 'Add file' dialog box
- Select the 'OK' button on the 'New Web Service Extension'
dialog box
You should now see the Web Extension you created, added to the
list on the right of the ‘Web Extensions’ and the ‘Status’ should
be set to ‘Allowed’
Setup cgi-bin Directory Security
- Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory where
e-BARZ Pro.exe is located (usually located in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-bin)
- Right-click on the cgi-bin directory and select ‘Properties’ for
the list
- Select the ‘Security’ tab
- Locate your Internet Guest user(s) accounts and select
the ‘Read & Execute’ checkbox in the lower
box
- Select the ‘OK’ button
Setup cgi-bin Directory in IIS 6.0
- Navigate to the directory where e-BARZ Pro.exe is located (usually
located under the main web site folder
- Right-click on the cgi-bin directory and select ‘Properties’ for
the list
- Under the ‘Directory’ tab, set the ‘Execute
permissions:’ to ‘Scripts and Executables’
- Select the ‘OK’ button
You should now be able to run e-BARZ Pro from your web site. To
test, in your browser type:
http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/e-BARZ Pro.exe?-CGI&data=12345
A barcode should generate in the browser window. If not, the first thing
to check is to make sure unibar.key is located in the same directory as the e-BARZ Pro.exe. (yourdomain.com
set to your web server and if you installed e-BARZ Pro.exe to a different directory,
then you will need to make that change also in the URL above)
What is a Base Directory
or Environment String? (back to top)
The base directory is where all of Unibar's products looks for any files without
a full pathname. A "full pathname" is a file name beginning with the '/' character
on UNIX/Linux, or '\' or '[drive]:\' on DOS or Window systems.
The base directory is established once per execution, by finding 'unibar.key'.
Once the base directory is established, every file is expected to exist relative
to the base directory.
The following procedure is used to look for 'unibar.key'
- Check present working directory
- Check the 'UNIBAR' environment string, if it is set
- Check '/unibar' on UNIX/Linux, or '\unibar' on DOS/Window systems
- Check the explicit path on argv[0] (the program name), if there is
one*
- Check Operating System's search path
* - We determine if there is a search path on argv[0] by scanning the
program name backwards (from right to left) and finding a '/' (on UNIX/Linux)
or '\' (on DOS/Windows). |
Setting the Environment String UNIX/LINUX system only:
- Type at the command line:
UNIBAR={unibar directory} (the directory where you installed
our product)
- Type at the command line:
export UNIBAR
The command above can be inserted into a login script so they are
automatically executed whenever the user logs on. |
Instructions for Windows Systems (NT/2000/XP)
- Go to Control Panel>System
- Select the 'Environment' tab.
- Select 'System Variable' by hitting ALT-V
- Select the 'Variable' text box
- Type:
UNIBAR
- Select the 'Value' text box
- Type:
C:\{unibar directory} (the directory where you installed
our product)
- Select the Set button
- Select the OK button
