Hasko

Hasko now completely works, as of Friday. It didn't appear to be because IE on the server had java disabled, and that's the browser I was using. Ugh!

ASP, Plesk & Winders

Hasko's website wouldn't work past the index page, because it's primarily ASP. After a loooong time, I added write permissions for IUSR_HASKOMACHINES, which is the Plesk IIS user, to their aspnet_client. I think I've had some IE caching issues too, and now I can get to their default ASP page, but some of the stuff still doesn't work. It looks like they may have updated some stuff since I downloaded their page. I'm re-downloading it now so I can have the fresh stuff.

Winders web server

Things I've found out in Plesk:
  • Either "MailEnable Mail Transfer Agent" or MailEnable Post Office Connector" makes mail get sent. (Andrew got a bunch of over-capacity spam all at once) I'm not sure yet which one made it work.
  • For FrontPage to work, it needs to be enabled and Remote Authoring needs to be enabled to make it useful.
  • The way I'm copying a website from the old server:
    • File>Open Web and enter the URL
    • When it opens, File>Publish Web (I'm saving them in My Documents/My Webs)
    • Close FrontPage
    • Add the domain to the hosts file with the new server's IP
    • Open FrontPage again
    • File>Open Web
    • File>Publish Web. It will go to the new server now because the hosts file is changed.
    • If you're lucky, everything will work.
