System Requirements:
- Windows 2000/2003 Server
- Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 or 6.0
- MDAC 2.6 or
greater
(download: http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/mdac/downloads/default.aspx ) - .NET Framework 1.1
- Purchasing at a Glance data must be stored on the same machine as the web server.
If IIS is installed after the .NET Framework is installed, ASP.Net will not be registered as an extension with IIS. To regisiter ASP.Net with IIS run the following command at the command prompt:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe −i
Setup Instructions:
- Install Purchasing
at a Glance on the server if it is not already installed.
- Run SupplyCartSetup.msi to install.
Note: You will need to know the path to your Purchasing at a Glance database, and your Paradox Net directory setting from the BDE Administrator setup.
- Grant the ASP.Net worker process read/write/execute permission for your database and Paradox Net directories:
- Browse to your database and Net directories.
- Open the Security tab and add the ASP.Net worker process account. Typically this is ASPNET or IWAM_YourServerName for IIS 5.0 or NETWORK SERVICE for IIS 6.0.
- Check
Read/Write/Execute permissions. Click OK.
- Drop your
cart.cartkey file into your SupplyCart web install folder.
- Restart IIS.

- On the server browse to "http://localhost/paagweb/" and login to verify the service is running.
Common Issues:
- Attempting to
log-in causes the following error:
“There was a problem accessing the database. The server may not be available or it may not be configured correctly.”
This occurs when the application cannot find or does not have permission to access to the data. Verify your data and net directory settings and check the permissions on the data and net directories.
- “ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Paradox Driver] Unexpected error
from external database driver (11270).”
Your BDE Net directories are not set up correctly. The BDE on main application users PCs are pointing to a different location than the web application's Net directory.
- The web application’s data and net directories can be modified at anytime by opening Administrative Tools → Data Sources → System DSN and configuring the “paagweb” data source.
- Please note that modifying most application settings or changing your SupplyCart key file (cart.cartkey) will require you to restart IIS for changes to take effect.
