Confirming that Phone Book Service Setup Was Successful

Confirming that the server setup was successful includes verifying that virtual directories are listed in IIS services and that all physical directories are created and files copied. Verifying virtual directories helps ensure that Setup allows data to be posted to the server. Verifying the created directories and copied files indicates that Setup was successful.

Verify that Virtual Directories Are Listed

Verify that FTP and WWW services list the correct virtual directories by seeing that the FTP service lists PBSData as a virtual directory and that the WWW service lists PBServer as well as PBSData.

To verify the virtual directory through the FTP service

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack, point to Microsoft Internet Information Server, and then click Internet Service Manager.

  2. Double-click the name of the computer running the FTP service.

  3. Double-click Default FTP Site.

  4. The following directory and alias appear.
    Name Path
    PBSData C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Phone Book Service\Data

To verify virtual directories through the WWW service

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack, point to Microsoft Internet Information Server, and then click Internet Service Manager.

  2. Double-click the name of the computer running the WWW service.

  3. Double-click Default Web Site.

  4. The following directories and aliases appear.
    Name Path
    PBServer C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Phone Book Service\Bin
    PBSDATA C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Phone Book Service\Data

Verify Physical Directories and Files

Using Windows NT Explorer, double-click the \Data directory under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Phone Book Service.
