This will automatically create a virtual mapping to the server scripts directory (you cannot have an existing directory called scripts or it will become unavailable) which contains the necessary DLL to support JSP. It also adds a host entry for your site into the configuration file of the JSP engine. Once you have done this any .jsp file will run in your domain. JSP is automatically enabled on Linux accounts and this button will only need to be used for Windows accounts. Click here for more details on JSP.
Add ODBC Connection (DSN)	Use this button to create an ODBC connection. Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a widely accepted application programming interface (API) for database access. You will need to include the DSN name the database type and the path. If the database type is not listed (such as FoxPro or MS SQL) please open a ticket and request this to setup. We do recommend in all cases that you use a DSN-LESS connection. Please click here to see a list of connection strings.
Password Protect Dirctory	Click on this button to password protect files. This will actually create a Windows user, please make sure you record the user/pass and make sure you keep the first two letters of your domain as the first two letters of the username. This does NOT create an FTP account, it password protects a file or directory for HTTP (web) access.) You can not remove the password protection or change the user name and password with out contacting us. If you require passwords to be constantly set up and change we suggest you use a script to do this.
Create Application Root	Use this button to create an application root within your site. This is necessary to execute global.asa, web.config and other similar files within directories. This is only available for the Windows platform.
Set Write Permissions	This process gives the NT user 'IUSR' read and write access to any files or directories you specify. It effectively gives a specified file the ability to be replaced or updated by a process such as an ASP script. It is most commonly used for Access Databases. Ensure you apply these permissions not on the database but on the folder so that any temporary files created by the database can be written.. If you are using password protection and are accessing the database via Windows authentication you will need to contact us to change the permissions.
