Common system F.A.Q.

What type of server is my website on?

Your website resides on a Windows Server 2003 Server platform. This server uses the most up to date applications from Microsft including IIS 6.0 and SQL 2000.

How can I make my website appear in Search Engines?

To help improve your chances of being seen in a search results we strongly recommend you prepare your site the way Search Engines see it. To prepare your site you can add Meta tags, specifically a Description and Keywords. The Meta tags get added to the code of your index page. They are added at the top of the page. If you are not familiar with how to do this you may need to contact the developer of your website.

The Meta Description is a two to three sentence description about your website. The Meta Keywords are short, descriptive words describing your website. The following is an example of the meta tags:

<HEAD>

						<TITLE>Title for your page</TITLE>

						<META name="keywords" content="short, descriptive, words, describing, your, website">

						<META name="description" content="A short description of your website.  The description should be approximately 2 or 3 sentences.">


						</HEAD>

Domain Name Server (DNS) F.A.Q.

What is DNS (Domain Name Service)?

A Name Server contains information about your domain name. It is very similar to a phone book. It contains a list of domain names and their addresses.

How does a Name Server work?

A Name Server will take a domain name, look through its records and point the web browser to the server that contains the website.

How do I change the DNS?

You must contact your registrar. If Interwoven Web registered the domain name for you, then the name servers are already setup correctly. You can alter the entries from your website control panel. Your registrar is the company that registered the domain name for you. If you are not sure who your registrar is, you may do a "whois" search for your domain name, or contact your old hosting company. Some hosting companies are resellers for a domain registrar.

Can I use ASP or ASP.Net ?

How do I use ASPUpload on my Website?

The following article explains how to use the ASPUpload component within your website. ASPUpload is an Active Server Page component which enables an application to accept, save and manipulate files uploaded with a browser. To use ASPUpload you will need to create 2 pages: a form page and an action page.

The form page, form.html in this example, will contain a standard html form.

The action page, uploadscript.asp in this example, will contain the ASPupload script.

<% Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload.1")
Count = Upload.SaveVirtual("virtual_directory_name") %>
<% = Count %> files uploaded.

</BODY>
</HTML>

* If you are using a web builder like Frontpage you will need to enter the ASP code in HTML view.

It is important that you let us know what directory you would like the files to be uploaded so that we can set the right permissions for you on that directory.
