Install For IIS or Personal Web Server

A few simple steps:

• IIS for Windows Server platforms
• Personal Web Server for workstation platforms.

Install IIS

Install Personal Web Server

1. Click: Start / Settings / Control Panel
2. Click: Add/Remove Programs
3. Click: Add/Remove Windows Components
4. From the list of Components select the checkbox for Internet Information Services
5. Click: Next
6. Windows will spin and churn and install Personal Web Server or PWS (This may take a few minutes)
7. The Windows installer does not ask you to, but reboot anyway

PWS is installed, now we need to turn it on

1. Click: Start / Settings / Control panel
2. Click: Administrative Tools
3. Click: Personal Web Manager
4. Click: Start - This will start the web server
• Depending on your Windows environment (Domain control, Wins etc) you may or may not be able to address this server by the windows machine name displayed.
• Under the Start Button is the location of your Home Directory
• By default the installation is in C:\inetpub and your web documents in C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Make a note of this location
5. You will probably want to add the tray Icon control
• Click: Properties and click on Show Tray Icon

Your PWS server should be running. Time for a Sanity check

• Copy the Yodj install folder into your C:\inetpub\wwwroot as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\yodj
• This will give you a few handy test tools

The official php.org binary install and PHP requires quite a bit of hand installation

Create a web Alias to your music

1. Bring up the PWS manager (use the tray icon if you closed it)
2. Click: Advanced
3. Click: Add
• This will bring up an Add Directory Dialog
• There are two fields we need to change
4. Use the Browse button to point to the physical location of your music
5. Change the Alias text to Music with the Min caps.
• You can leave the default properties as read only
6. Click: OK

This has created an alias for the webserver:

It knows that http://server-address/Music really refers to the physical location of your music.

Edit the yoDJ.ini file

This should be found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\yodj

There are two fields we are concerned with:

1. Webroot - This matches the Name of the alias that we just created and should be Music. You shouldn't need to change this.
2. RootDir - This is the physical location of your music and should correspond to the location you gave in your alias. Make sure that you have a trailing slash. If you have any spaces in any part of the pathname, put quotes around the the path.
3. Save your changes

That should do it!
